Why do electrical engineers have nice equations for resistors in parallel, and we process engineers don't?! We have a look at why this is the case, and how it doesn't matter because we can use the same principle to analyse fluid flow through parallel branches.
00:00 Analogies between fluid flow & electrical current
02:29 Ohm's law makes things easy
03:48 The equation for resistors in parallel
06:14 Applying the principle to fluid flow
08:40 Worked example

Process with Pat is the place to come for perspective and to ask stupid questions. I want you to leave more knowledgeable, confident, motivated, and most importantly, curious. I also want to invigorate a field that seems tired and uninspiring, at least if you get your perspective from internet forums. These are not lectures. This is a place for you to leave thinking “Oh! That’s why...”
This channel is not only for chemical engineers - anyone who works with processes should be able to find something of value here.
