The fourth edition of Transport Phenomena Fundamentals continues
with its streamlined approach to the subject, based on a unified
treatment of heat, mass, and momentum transport using a balance
equation approach. The new edition includes more worked examples
within each chapter and adds confidence-building problems at the
end of each chapter. Some numerical solutions are included in an
appendix for students to check their comprehension of key concepts.
Additional resources online include exercises that can be practiced
using a wide range of software programs available for simulating
engineering problems, such as, COMSOL (R), Maple (R), Fluent,
Aspen, Mathematica, Python and MATLAB (R), lecture notes, and past
exams. This edition incorporates a wider range of problems to
expand the utility of the text beyond chemical engineering. The
text is divided into two parts, which can be used for teaching a
two-term course. Part I covers the balance equation in the context
of diffusive transport-momentum, energy, mass, and charge. Each
chapter adds a term to the balance equation, highlighting that
term's effects on the physical behavior of the system and the
underlying mathematical description. Chapters familiarize students
with modeling and developing mathematical expressions based on the
analysis of a control volume, the derivation of the governing
differential equations, and the solution to those equations with
appropriate boundary conditions. Part II builds on the diffusive
transport balance equation by introducing convective transport
terms, focusing on partial, rather than ordinary, differential
equations. The text describes paring down the full, microscopic
equations governing the phenomena to simplify the models and
develop engineering solutions, and it introduces macroscopic
versions of the balance equations for use where the microscopic
approach is either too difficult to solve or would yield much more
information that is actually required. The text discusses the
momentum, Bernoulli, energy, and species continuity equations,
including a brief description of how these equations are applied to
heat exchangers, continuous contactors, and chemical reactors. The
book introduces the three fundamental transport coefficients: the
friction factor, the heat transfer coefficient, and the mass
transfer coefficient in the context of boundary layer theory.
Laminar flow situations are treated first followed by a discussion
of turbulence. The final chapter covers the basics of radiative
heat transfer, including concepts such as blackbodies, graybodies,
radiation shields, and enclosures.
