In this concise yet comprehensive book, the author discusses the
principles of mass, momentum, and energy transport, and derives
balance equations for single-component fluids and multicomponent
mixtures based on the direct application of natural laws and
principles of thermodynamics. Transport equations over control
volumes are formulated with reference to the Reynolds transport
equation, thereby circumventing the need for ad-hoc balances for
open systems that are best justified in hindsight. Notable features
with regard to mass transport include the interpretation of
diffusion in mixtures in terms of species parcel motion and
separation, the introduction of Fick's and fractional diffusion
laws with reference to random molecular excursions, a detailed
account of species and mixture kinematics and dynamics, and the
discussion of partial stresses, energies, and entropies of
individual mixture components. Key features of this book include: *
The governing equations are derived from first principles based on
the application of natural laws and principles of thermodynamics *
Balances over control volumes are derived from rigorous equations
governing material parcel property evolution * Fick's law, a
fractional diffusion law, and other diffusion laws are discussed
with reference to random walks * A detailed account of species and
mixture kinematics and dynamics is presented for binary and
multicomponent solutions * A tabulated summary of transport
equations is presented in differential and integral forms, and an
overview of classical thermodynamics is given in an appendix for a
self-contained discourse C. Pozrikidis has taught at the University
of California and the University of Massachusetts. He is the author
of several books on theoretical and computational topics in science
and engineering, applied mathematics, scientific computing, and
computer science.
