Prof. Newman is considered one of the great chemical engineers of
his time. His reputation derives from his mastery of all phases of
the subject matter, his clarity of thought, and his ability to
reduce complex problems to their essential core elements. He is a
member of the National Academy of Engineering, Washington, DC, USA,
and has won numerous national awards including every award offered
by the Electrochemical Society, USA. His motto, as known by his
colleagues, is "do it right the first time." He has been teaching
undergraduate and graduate core subject courses at the University
of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), USA, since joining the
faculty in 1966. His method is to write out, in long form,
everything he expects to convey to his class on a subject on any
given day. He has maintained and updated his lecture notes from
notepad to computer throughout his career. This book is an exact
reproduction of those notes. This book shows a clean and concise
way on how to use different analytical techniques to solve
equations of multiple forms that one is likely to encounter in most
engineering fields, especially chemical engineering. It provides
the framework for formulating and solving problems in mass
transport, fluid dynamics, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamics
through ordinary and partial differential equations. It includes
topics such as Laplace transforms, Legendre's equation, vector
calculus, Fourier transforms, similarity transforms, coordinate
transforms, conformal mapping, variational calculus, superposition
integrals, and hyperbolic equations. The simplicity of the
presentation instils confidence in the readers that they can solve
any problem they come across either analytically or
computationally.
