Synopsis

This text is the outgrowth of Stanley Middleman's years of teaching and contains more than sufficient materials to support a one-semester course in fluid dynamics. His primary belief in the classroom—and hence the material in this textbook—is that the development of a mathematical is central to the analysis and design of an engineering system or process. His text is therefore oriented toward teaching students how to develop mathematical representations of physical phenomena.

Great effort has been put forth to provide many examples of experimental data against which the results of modeling exercises can be compared and to expose students to the wide range of technologies of interest to chemical, environmental and bio engineering students.

Examples presented are motivated by real engineering applications and may of the problems are derived from the author's years of experience as a consultant to companies whose businesses cover a broad spectrum of engineering technologies.

From the Back Cover

For a Full Course on Transport Phenomena A companion text entitled An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics, written by the same author, is also available. Together, these two texts represent complete, consistent coverage of transport phenomena. Both texts:

• Focus on the development of a mathematical model as a central part of the analysis and design of an engineering system or process
• Teach students how to develop accurate mathematical representations of physical phenomena
• Present many examples of experimental data against which the model can be compared
• Expose students to the wide range of technologies which they may encounter in the future
• Provide a wealth of real world applications drawn from the author s years of experience as a consultant
