Devahastin, S: Impinging Streams

Impinging streams belong to a class of unique flow configurations that has proved very effective when being applied to a wide array of chemical/biochemical engineering unit operations. This book presents a thorough study of some important transport characteristics of impinging streams, which are necessary to understand the behavior of this highly complex flow configuration. The topics include laminar and turbulent single- phase impinging streams as well as turbulent gas- solid impinging streams. One of the unique features of the book is the inclusion and illustration of the use of mathematical models to effectively simulate the transport phenomena within impinging streams. The models are also used to illustrate the feasibility of using impinging streams in various engineering unit operations, namely, liquid mixing and solids drying. Detailed experimental procedures that can be applied for future study of impinging streams are also given.
