Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.1.3 The momentum balance : Introduction

Course subject(s) 2. The momentum balance

Nice of you to join us in this second week of Advanced Transport Phenomena!

We hope that you understand how microbalances are set up and solved, as discussed in the first week. In this second week, we will discuss another type of balance: the momentum balance.

In the theory, you will be taught how to use the mass balance and energy balance to set up and solve the momentum balance and how this balance can be used.

When this subsection is completed, you will be able to explain what momentum is, recognize the boundaries in a system for the momentum balance, integrate the mass and energy balance in the momentum balance and calculate pressure drops and forces used on systems.

Have fun watching the spark!
