Transport Phenomena

by R. Byron Bird, Warren E. Stewart, Edwin N. Lightfoot

The market leading transport phenomena text has been revised! Authors, Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot have revised Transport Phenomena to include deeper and more extensive coverage of heat transfer, enlarged discussion of dimensional analysis, a new chapter on flow of polymers, systematic discussions of convective momentum, energy, and mass transport, and transport in two-phase systems. If this is your first look at Transport Phenomena you'll quickly learn that its balanced introduction to the subject of transport phenomena is the foundation of its long-standing success. About the Revised 2 nd Edition: Since the appearance of the second edition in 2002, the authors and numerous readers have found a number of errors--some major and some minor. In the Revised 2 nd Edition the authors have endeavored to correct these errors. A new ISBN has been assigned to the Revised 2nd Edition in order to more easily identify the most correct version.

About the author

Robert Byron Bird is a Chemical Engineer and Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is known for his research in Transport phenomena of Non-Newtonian fluids, including fluid dynamics of polymers, polymer kinetic theory, and rheology. He, along with Warren E. Stewart and Edwin N. Lightfoot, is an author of the classic textbook Transport Phenomena. Bird was a recipient of the National Medal of Science in 1987.

Transport phenomena can be a tough topic, but the book explains things well and there are plenty of sample problems and examples.

Very famous reference which is important for all chem. Engineers out there and the field of fluid dynamics.

Did not fancy the order of the chapters or the odd ways
some subjects were introduced. For example creeping flow equations were introduced in chapter 4 but the text mentions that it will be discussed/derived in chapter 5. Here is a wild idea just do it all in chapter 5. We need a shorter version of this book for dummies after we remove all redundancy and poor sorting of material

Great book for fluid flow (momentum transfer), mass transfer, heat transfer.

worst experience of my life im not even joking

[Matthew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very helpful book. Has good examples and explanations. You need to know the math to a good degree, but ya, very insightful on how to calculate a bunch of stuff.

[Brandon Cerminara · Rating 1 out of 5]

This text gave reliable derivations for relatively complex theories for students to reference. However, examples were fairly specific and hard to follow.

[Ian Mullet · Rating 5 out of 5]

i'm not really recommending this book but want to go on the record as stating that this is the most elegant textbook i have ever come across. the entire text is organized around an analogy between the balance equations for momentum, energy, and mass.

to not necessary to any recommendation!

Minnesota - Chemical Engineering.

[Dale Baker]

are you a chemical engineer? do ya wanna be one...then you will know the material in this classic....
I not only love it ...I teach from it when possible...
