The primacy of polymers is today established by their pervasive influence throughout chemistry and manufacture, surpassing the world production of metals. This book reviews critical transport phenomena in polymeric systems, flow of these complex materials, and heat and mass transfer. Topics also include molecular modelling of flows, and flows of such materials in porous, turbulent and rotational systems. The aspects of heat and mass transfer in solid polymeric systems as well as those of heat transfer in ducts are examined, together with the interesting aspects of flow in polymeric fluids in tubular reactions. This authoritative volume provides an excellent source of information, in which high-quality state-of- the-art reviews written by researchers of international eminence consider the needs of the profession. It will be of interest to polymer scientists, materials scientists and physicists.
