Transport Phenomena, Revised 2ed, An Indian Adaptation

by R. Byron Bird

Transport Phenomena is a well-established textbook that presents the three topics momentum, heat, and mass transport; and provides an analogous approach to studying these three topics. It is specifically designed for undergraduate and postgraduate level in the Chemical Engineering curriculum. The textbook is centered around these topics covering the basics mechanisms, shell balance approach to develop governing equations, development, and application of equation of change to find the velocity and/or temperature and/or concentration profile, and macroscopic approach of transport phenomena.
