ABSTRACT

This book offers a detailed yet accessible introduction to transport phenomena. It begins by explaining the underlying principles and mechanisms that govern mass transport, and continues by tackling practical problems spanning all subdisciplines of environmental science and chemical engineering. Assuming some knowledge of ordinary differential equations and a familiarity with basic fluid mechanics applications, this classroom-tested text addresses mass conservation and macroscopic mass balances, placing a special emphasis on applications to environmental processes and presenting a mathematical framework for formulating and solving transport phenomena problems.
