Transport Phenomena is an umbrella term to describe the fundamental processes of momentum, energy, and mass transfer.
This unique compendium covers momentum transfer at the microscopic and macroscopic levels in the three stages of problem-solving, namely formulation, simplification, and mathematical solution. The book does not overwhelm students with a large repertoire of problems. Instead, it highlights clear and easy presentation to help students grasp the methodology in problem-solving.
This useful reference text benefits upper undergraduate and graduate level students in the fields of chemical, mechanical, civil, and environmental engineering.
