Synopsis

This text on process engineering in metallurgy, introduces the basic mechanisms of heat, mass and fluid flow, and shows the origin of associated transport coefficients (diffusivity, conductivity, and viscosity). Chapters dealing with fluid flow, heat and mass diffusion, and heat and mass convective flows then follow by way of a series of metallurgical examples and exercises. Empirical techniques for modelling and for process design are presented, followed by numerical techniques and computer programs needed for "ground-up" quantitive descriptions of typical metallurgical processes. An appendix provides detail on the thermodynamic and physical properties of substances commonly encountered by metallurgists, while a short section on metallurgical thermodynamics illustrates the way these tabulations are intended to be used.

About this title

Review

This will be appreciated by students of metallurgy, and those engineers involved in the metallurgical process industries, and could be expected to be a standard reference for many years." Jjournal of Materials Processing Technology

The text is an ideal support for an undergraduate or postgraduate course dealing with the application of heat, mass and momentum transfer to metallurgical processing.... It is a tribute to the author's success ...that the text will also provide a valuable reference to fully qualified engineers who are engaged in controlling full scale metallurgical plant and in carrying out ptocess development work.
