• EG-211 Fluid Flow

  This module aims to extend the previous Fluid Mechanics (EG-160) module, to introduce the flow of fluids around particles, through porous media, pipes and devices (with special reference to the design and operation of differential head flowmeters) to provide a balance between theory and practical aspects of equipment used in chemical engineering, such as mixing impellers (with special reference to the Rushton-turbine type mixer) and packed beds (spherical particles). The module also addresses elements of non-Newtonian fluid flow in terms of the Power-Law Model and the Bingham-Plastic Model (for yield stress materials) and considers the flow of these materials in pipes.

• EG-M01 Complex Fluids and Flows

  This module considers the rheology of complex fluids. Course content provides an introduction to rheology from basic classifications of non-Newtonian materials to how the material properties affect processing operations. Consideration is given to the influence of product rheology and the manufacturing process, quality control and how this influences performance and end-user perception. Rheological methods for the characterisation of non-Newtonian materials are reviewed and means by which the results of such tests can be used to describe and predict advanced aspects of transport processes involving non-Newtonian fluids are considered. Materials of interest range from simple inelastic time-independent fluids to more complex viscoelastic systems. Measurement techniques considered range from simple shear viscometers to advanced rheometrical techniques for the characterisation of evolving systems (those which are changing with time due to chemical or physical transformation).

• EGNM02 Soft Nanotechnology

  This module introduces fundamental concepts in soft condensed matter physics/chemistry, and looks at the use of this knowledge in a wide range of 'soft matter'-based applications, including organic electronics, micro/nano-fluidics and molecular motors. A strong emphasis of the course is the fundamental physical processes that control the structure/behaviour of macromolecules.
