Description
Coulson and Richardson's classic series provides the student with an account of the fundamentals of chemical engineering and constitutes
the definitive work on the subject for academics and practitioners. Each book provides clear explanations of theory and thorough coverage
of practical applications, supported by numerous worked examples and problems. Thus, the text is designed for students as well as being
comprehensive in coverage.
This volume covers the three main transport process of interest to chemical engineers - momentum transfer
(fluid flow), heat transfer and mass transfer and the relationships between them. The concluding chapter covers an application where
each of these processes is occurring simultaneously - water cooling and humidification. The topics covered form the theoretical basis
for much of the material in the later volumes of the series.
Audience:
BSc/BEng students, postgraduate students, academics, professionals
