Description
Modeling in Transport Phenomena, Second Edition presents and clearly explains with example problems the basic concepts
and their applications to fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering and thermodynamics. A balanced approach
is presented between analysis and synthesis, students will understand how to use the solution in engineering analysis. Systematic derivations
of the equations and the physical significance of each term are given in detail, for students to easily understand and follow up the
material.
There is a strong incentive in science and engineering to understand why a phenomenon behaves the way it does. For this
purpose, a complicated real-life problem is transformed into a mathematically tractable problem while preserving the essential features
of it. Such a process, known as mathematical modeling, requires understanding of the basic concepts. This book teaches students these
basic concepts and shows the similarities between them. Answers to all problems are provided allowing students to check their solutions.
Emphasis is on how to get the model equation representing a physical phenomenon and not on exploiting various numerical techniques to
solve mathematical equations.
Audience
This book is an introduction to transport phenomena courses. For students majoring in chemical engineering, and as a reference or a supplementary
text in environmental, mechanical, petroleum and civil engineering courses.
