Analysis of Transport Phenomena, Second Edition, provides a unified treatment of momentum, heat, and mass transfer, emphasizing the concepts and analytical techniques that apply to these transport processes. The second edition has been revised to reinforce the progression from simple to complex topics and to better introduce the applied mathematics that is needed both to understand classical results and to model novel systems. A common set of formulation, simplification, and solution methods is applied first to heat or mass transfer in stationary media and then to fluid mechanics, convective heat or mass transfer, and systems involving various kinds of coupled fluxes. FEATURES: * Explains classical methods and results, preparing students for engineering practice and more advanced study or research * Covers everything from heat and mass transfer in stationary media to fluid mechanics, free convection, and turbulence * Improved organization, including the establishment of a more integrative approach * Emphasizes concepts and analytical techniques that apply to all transport processes * Mathematical techniques are introduced more gradually to provide students with a better foundation for more complicated topics discussed in later chapters

Deen's first edition has served as an ideal text for graduate level transport courses within chemical engineering and related disciplines. It has successfully communicated the fundamentals of transport processes to students with its clear presentation and unified treatment of momentum, heat, and mass transfer, and its emphasis on the concepts and analytical techniques that apply to all of these transport processes. This text includes distinct features such as mathematically self-contained discussions and a clear, thorough discussion of scaling principles and dimensional analysis. This new edition offers a more integrative approach, covering thermal conduction and diffusion before fluid mechanics, and introducing mathematical techniques more gradually, to provide students with a better foundation for more advanced problems later on. It also provides a broad range of new, real-world examples and exercises, which reflects the current shifts of emphasis within chemical engineering practice and research to biological applications, microsystem technologies, membranes, think films, and interfacial phenomena. Finally, this edition includes a new appendix with a concise review of how to solve the differential equations most commonly encountered transport problems.

Analysis of Transport Phenomena is intended mainly as a text for graduate-level courses in transport phenomena for chemical engineers. Among the analytical methods discussed are scaling, similarity, perturbation, and finite Fourier transform techniques. The physical topics include conduction and diffusion in stationary media, fluid mechanics, forced- and free-convection heat and mass transfer, and multicomponent energy and mass transfer.

Integrated, modern approach to transport phenomena for graduate students, featuring examples and computational solutions to develop practical problem-solving skills.

This book presents the foundations of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena in a concise way. It is suitable as an introduction to the subject as it contains many examples, proposed problems and a chapter for self-evaluation.

Advanced Transport Phenomena is ideal as a graduate textbook. It contains a detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer problems, focusing on approximations based on scaling and asymptotic methods, beginning with the derivation of basic equations and boundary conditions and concluding with linear stability theory. Also covered are unidirectional flows, lubrication and thin-film theory, creeping flows, boundary layer theory, and convective heat and mass transport at high and low Reynolds numbers. The emphasis is on basic physics, scaling and nondimensionalization, and approximations that can be used to obtain solutions that are due either to geometric simplifications, or large or small values of dimensionless parameters. The author emphasizes setting up problems and extracting as much information as possible short of obtaining detailed solutions of differential equations. The book also focuses on the solutions of representative problems. This reflects the book's goal of teaching readers to think about the solution of transport problems.

This book is a research monograph on transport phenomena. The topics discussed are often mathematically simple, though conceptually complex. The book is written in a colloquial style which a good teacher uses in the classroom. It originates from the author's wealth of teaching experience in this area and incorporates suggestions from colleagues worldwide.
