Applying the Navier-Stokes Equations, part 1 - Lecture 4.6 - Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics

General procedure to solve problems using the Navier-Stokes equations. Application to analysis of flow through a pipe.

[NOTE: Closed captioning is not yet available for this video. Check back soon for updates.]

This video is part of a series of screencast lectures presenting content from an undergraduate-level fluid mechanics course in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University (College Station, TX, USA).

The screencasts have been prepared in 720p HD with accompanying closed captioning for enhanced accessibility.

My inspiration for producing this series of videos has been my lifelong personal journey to understand fluid mechanics and explain its beauty to others in a straightforward way. I have received no external support for this project...the effort is purely a labor of love.

I would like to acknowledge Aashish Priye and Jamison Chang for assistance in developing the materials and preparing the captioning.

Please feel free to share any comments or suggestions.

Best wishes,
Victor Ugaz

You have no idea how helpful it was. You taught me in few minutes what my professor should had been done in the whole semester.

This is amazing. You're a life-saver. This might actually save me a whole year of my degree, from having to retake the course.

If you ever want to learn the Navier-Stokes in order to pass your fluids midterm/finals, I advise to watch all 4 parts. He broke this seemingly difficult concept into very very understandable parts.

There was so much pain, you have no idea you helped heal.
I'm not kidding, came here shy of ANY co-ordinate conversion problem, I'm leaving as a champ. You sir, are the best.

[mphomajestic]

you just enlightened my understanding in one day, where would i be without this video, thank you

[hmdlamin]

Couldn't have explained this any better, thank you very much for taking the time to post these videos, very much appreciated.

Navies - stokes equation is a general equation in fluid mechanics. It is nice to see the procedure on how to solve it. Thank you sir.

[leechristy]

This has really helped me with my Open University fluid mechanics course for my Engineering degree, your explanations and diagrams are brilliant and I feel much more confident with this topic. Thank you so much

[UTjaustin]

I agree. The best physics videos on the youtube

[joaopedrorodolfo]

Thank u a lot. You're helping a guy from Brazil

Maybe a stoopid we determine a molecule in the X, Y, and Z axis at an exact moment?, and if we can doesn't that answer our flow question?

[SauravKumar-xgzr]

thanks a lot for clear me in choosing which component of velocity is zero or not.

I’m 14 years old wanting to learn about this is there any tips or anything because I love this topic and it seems interesting to me but I don’t understand it but I will continue and try to understand it even though I’m very young

[Ali-qrvi]

You are a life saver thank you so much

[josephrappold]

Feelin the flow, workin it, workin it...get it flow, fluids? anyway, great videos, thanks!

[zawette]

you're a life saver thank you so much

I want to model a small gas bubble rising and growing (radius changes) in a liquid. I want to predict its velocity and somehow know something about its equation of state. I think it can be simplified a bit, I just want the bubble to change size. I’m trying to match that with some experimental data. How could I know this given that I’m not looking at the fluid itself, but the bubble?

[GUAVcis]

thank you for helping me udnerstand my hw

[chtahery]

I wish u make a video about Ideal flow 🙏🙏

[mandlakei]

thanks Victor. im trying to model fluid flow in a rectangular combustion chamber. would it be wise to make the assumption that the chamber is cylindrical and make follow the steps outlined or should i the cartesian coordinate system and try to figure out some of the missing details.
please respond ASAP, my Masters Dissertation depends on it
