Description
Book SynopsisA unique approach to the challenges of complex environmental systems
Environmental Transport Processes, Second Edition provides much-needed guidance on mass transfer principles in environmental engineering. It focuses on working with uncontrolled conditions involving biological and physical systems, offering examples from diverse fields, including mass transport, kinetics, wastewater treatment, and unit processes.
This new edition is fully revised and updated, incorporating modern approaches and practice problems at the end of chapters, making the Second Edition more concise, accessible, and easy to use.
The book discusses the fundamentals of transport processes occurring in natural environments, with special emphasis on working at the biological?physical interface. It considers transport and kinetics in terms of systems that involve microorganisms, along with in-depth coverage of particles, size spectra, and calculations for particles that can be considered eit
Trade Review
“It also would be useful for people that work with these issues. Environmental Transport Processes can be recommended both to undergraduate and graduate students seeking to gain a good comprehension of environmental
transport processes.” (Environ Earth Science, 19 October 2012)
