Introduction
Fluid and particle interactions play a critical role in various engineering fields. In this fundamental unit of chemical engineering, principles governing fluids (gases and liquids), particles, and their interactions will be introduced. These principles are essential for comprehending various physical and chemical processes involved in single- and multiphase transport, separation, and reaction.
Lecture
2 x 2 Hours Weekly

Assessment Breakdown
Recent Unit Changes & Response to Student Feedback
Students are encouraged to provide feedback through student surveys (such as Insight and the annual Student Experience Survey) and interactions with teaching staff. Listed below are some recent changes to the unit as a result of student feedback. We have introduced several improvements to the unit. These include refining lecture slides to incorporate the most up-to-date material, adding in-class quizzes within lecture slides and allocate assessment weighting to enhance student learning, engagement, and interaction during lectures, and releasing the final project earlier to give students more time to complete their work.
