Build a working command of transport phenomena

This applied textbook develops momentum, heat, and mass transfer as one connected engineering framework. Clear physical explanations lead into conservation balances, constitutive laws, differential models, dimensionless groups, and practical design calculations.

Students learn how to analyze internal and external fluid flow, boundary layers, turbulence, conduction, convection, radiation, heat exchangers, molecular diffusion, convective mass transfer, interphase transport, and coupled transport processes. The treatment connects Newton's law of viscosity, Fourier's law, and Fick's law while showing where each analogy succeeds and where it must be used with care.

Designed for learning and application

Step-by-step derivations define assumptions, variables, and units.
Worked examples connect theory to equipment, environmental systems, and biochemical processes.
Technical figures and comparison tables clarify profiles, fluxes, resistances, and boundary conditions.
End-of-chapter problems with answers support independent practice and course review.

The progression begins with fields, properties, scaling, and conservation principles before moving to increasingly realistic models. Applications span chemical processing, mechanical systems, pollution transport, membranes, biological reactors, and thermal equipment. Readers gain both the mathematical tools needed to formulate transport models and the judgment needed to test whether a result is physically credible.

Suitable for undergraduate engineering courses, cross-disciplinary transport instruction, guided self-study, and a practical refresher for readers who want a unified approach to fluid mechanics, thermal transport, and species transfer.
