Fundamentals of Transport Processes with Applications (Paperback)

ISBN 10: 1009005332 / ISBN 13: 9781009005333

Published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2023

Paperback. The study of transport phenomena is an essential part of chemical engineering, as well as other disciplines concerned with material transformations such as biomedical engineering, microfluidics, reactor design and metallurgy. Material transformations require the motion of constituents relative to each other, the transfer of heat across materials and fluid flow. This lucid textbook introduces the student to the fundamentals and applications of transport phenomena in a single volume and explains how the outcomes of transformation processes depend on fluid flow and heat/mass transfer. It demonstrates the progression from physical concepts to the mathematical formulation, followed by the solution techniques for predicting outcomes in industrial applications. The ordering of the topics, gradual build-up of complexity and easy to read language make it a vital resource for anyone looking for an introduction to the domain. It also provides a foundation for advanced courses in fluid mechanics, multiphase flows and turbulence. Fluid-phase material transformations are essential to many engineering processes. This textbook provides a fundamental understanding, and develops methods for estimating, how the outcome of transformation processes is determined by heat/mass transfer and fluid flow.
