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.

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.
