Advanced Transport Phenomena

The term "transport phenomena" describes the fundamental processes of momentum, energy,
and mass transfer. This text provides a thorough discussion of transport phenomena, laying
the foundation for understanding a wide variety of operations used by engineers.
The book is arranged in three parallel parts covering the major topics of momentum,
energy, and mass transfer. Each part begins with the theory, followed by illustrations of the
way the theory can be used to obtain fairly complete solutions, and concludes with the four
most common types of averaging used to obtain approximate solutions. A broad range of
technologically important examples, as well as numerous exercises, are provided throughout
the text. Based on the author's extensive teaching experience, a suggested lecture outline is
also included.
This book is intended for first-year graduate engineering students; it will be an equally
useful reference for researchers in this field.
John C. Slattery is the Jack E. and Frances Brown Chair of Engineering at Texas A&M
University.
