Beginning with a thorough overview of the nature of transport phenomena, the book goes on to explore balances in transport phenomena, including key equations for assessing balances, before concluding by outlining mathematical methods for solving the transfer equations. Drawing on the experience of its expert authors, it is an accessible introduction to the field for students, researchers and professionals working in chemical engineering.
The book and is also ideal for those in related fields such as physical chemistry, energy engineering, and materials science, for whom a deeper understanding of these interactions could enhance their work.
- Presents fundamental background knowledge and experimental methods in a clear and accessible style
- Cements information through problems for the reader to solve, making the book ideal for learning, teaching and refreshing subject knowledge
- Outlines mathematical approaches for solving energy transfers to show applications of the key equations in practice
Chemical engineers, Physical chemists, Theoretical and Applied Physicists, Energy and materials scientists, students and researchers in related fields across both academia and industry
