Description
Book SynopsisAdvanced Transport Phenomena is ideal as a graduate textbook. It contains a detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer problems, focusing on approximations based upon scaling and asymptotic methods. The book is also focused on the solutions of representative problems.
Trade Review'Advanced Transport Phenomena contains a detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics … With a focus on solving representative problems, the author aims to teach students to think about the solution of transport problems.' The Chemical Engineer
