Modern Course in Transport Phenomena Hardcover

David Christopher Venerus

This advanced text presents a unique approach to studying transport phenomena. Bringing together concepts from both chemical engineering and physics, it makes extensive use of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, discusses kinetic theory, and sets out the tools needed to describe the physics of interfaces and boundaries. More traditional topics such as diffusive and convective transport of momentum, energy and mass are also covered. This is an ideal text for advanced courses in transport phenomena, and for researchers looking to expand their knowledge of the subject. The book also includes: xb7 Novel applications such as complex fluids, transport at interfaces and biological systems, xb7 Approximately 250 exercises with solutions (included separately) designed to enhance understanding and reinforce key concepts, xb7 End-of-chapter summaries. Book Description: This text presents a novel approach to the subject of transport phenomena fully integrated with nonequilibrium thermodynamics and kinetic theory. With rigorous treatment of interfaces and modern applications, this is an ideal text for advanced courses in transport phenomena, and for researchers looking to expand their knowledge of the subject.
