Fluid mechanics is a crucial aspect of chemical engineering, governing the behavior of fluids in various processes such as transport, mixing, and heat exchange. This study aims to analyze the fundamental principles, bibliometric methodologies, key research trends, applications, and recent innovations in fluid mechanics through a structured approach to chemical engineering education. The methodology incorporates a bibliometric analysis using Scopus as the primary database, identifying key research trends and reviewing computational and experimental advancements. Keywords such as “fluid mechanics” AND “chemical engineering” were used to extract relevant documents. The results and discussion cover essential fluid properties, flow regimes, momentum transfer principles, and statistical validation of bibliometric trends, providing insights into their relevance in chemical engineering applications such as transport phenomena, reactor design, and pipeline optimization. This study also provides case examples of solving real-world problems in fluid mechanics, supported by statistical validation and comparison with previous bibliometric studies, to enhance reader comprehension. Additionally, recent innovations, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), artificial intelligence (AI) in fluid transport modeling, non-Newtonian fluid behavior analysis, and microfluidics, are introduced to highlight their impact on industrial efficiency and sustainability. Integrating advanced modeling techniques, such as hybrid AI-CFD approaches, and data-driven simulations enhances process optimization and reduces operational costs. The study underscores the growing role of computational tools and bibliometric trend analysis in predicting complex fluid behavior, leading to significant advancements in energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable processes. This study provides valuable insights into the evolution of fluid mechanics in chemical engineering, emphasizing the need for continuous development in predictive modeling, statistical validation, and interdisciplinary approaches. © 2025, Semarak Ilmu Publishing.
