The subject broadens knowledge of chemical engineering in the direction towards multiphase systems dealing with bubble, drops, and particles. Hydrostatics and hydrodynamics of multiphase systems, where interfacial tension plays the dominant role, are not usually sufficiently accented in the basic courses, even if tasks connected with these topics are very often solved in chemical engineering applications. Firstly, opening lectures explain the basic principles of fluid mechanics: transport equations, material derivations, deformation and strain tensors, equations of motion and boundary conditions. After that different forces acting on fluid particles are analyzed and the dimensionless number balancing all these forces defined. On the base of this knowledge, hydrodynamic behavior of bubbles and drops is discussed, including questions connected with the shape of individual fluid particles. Then the phenomena related to the capillarity, surface wettability, contact angle formation, surfactants effects, or mass/heat transport between a particle and surrounding fluid are shortly treated. Finally, suspensions, emulsions, foams, and liquids films are characterized, including their multiphase rheology and accompanying phenomena of particle coalescence, breakup, or flocculation. The subject is lectured and finished with a final oral examination.

Students will widen their knowledge of fluid mechanics and apprehend physical-chemical processes controlling behavior of multiphase systems. Acquired knowledge will be applicable both in scientific experiments and engineering practice dealing with bubble, drops, and particles. Last update: Kubová Petra (12.11.2018)
