Engineering students in a wide variety of engineering disciplines frommechanical and chemical to biomedical and materials engineering must master theprinciples of transport phenomena as an essential tool in analyzing anddesigning any system or systems wherein momentum heat and mass aretransferred. This textbook was developed to address that need with a clearpresentation of the fundamentals ample problem sets to reinforce thatknowledge and tangible examples of how this knowledge is put to use inengineering design. Professional engineers too will find this book invaluableas reference for everything from heat exchanger design to chemical processingsystem design and more. Develops an understanding of the thermal and physical behavior of multiphasesystems with phase change including microscale and porosity for practicalapplications in heat transfer bioengineering materials science nuclearengineering environmental engineering process engineering biotechnology andnanotechnology Brings all three forms of phase change i.e. liquid vapor solid liquid andsolid vapor into one volume and describes them from one perspective in thecontext of fundamental treatment Presents the generalized integral and differential transport phenomenaequations for multicomponent multiphase systems in local instance as well asaveraging formulations. The molecular approach is also discussed with theconnection between microscopic and molecular approaches Presents basic principles of analyzing transport phenomena in multiphasesystems with emphasis on melting solidification sublimation vapordeposition condensation evaporation boiling and twophase flow heattransferat the micro and macro levels Solidliquidvapor interfacial phenomena including the concepts of surfacetension wetting phenomena disjoining pressure contact angle thin films andcapillary phenomena including interfacial balances for mass species mom «
