Transport Phenomena (2nd Edition)

Transport Phenomena (Second Edition) By R. Byron Bird, Warren E. Stewart & Edwin N. Lightfoot

Transport Phenomena by R. Byron Bird, Warren E. Stewart, and Edwin N. Lightfoot is the market-leading textbook on the subject, offering a balanced, foundational introduction that has driven its long-standing success across generations of chemical engineers. This second edition has been revised to include deeper and more extensive coverage of heat transfer, an enlarged discussion of dimensional analysis, a new chapter on the flow of polymers, and systematic discussions of convective momentum, energy, and mass transport, along with transport in two-phase systems.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Viscosity and the mechanisms of momentum transport

• Shell momentum balances and velocity distributions in laminar flow

• The equations of change for isothermal systems

• Velocity distributions with more than one independent variable

• Thermal conductivity and the mechanisms of energy transport

• Shell energy balances and temperature distributions in solids and laminar flow

• The equations of change for nonisothermal systems

• Diffusivity and the mechanisms of mass transport

• Shell mass balances and concentration distributions

• The equations of change for multicomponent systems

• Flow of polymers

• Transport in two-phase systems

Key features:

• Deeper and more extensive coverage of heat transfer compared to earlier editions

• New chapter dedicated to the flow of polymers

• Systematic treatment of convective momentum, energy, and mass transport

• Literature citations throughout for further reading and reference

• Revised edition correcting errors identified since the original second edition

• Written by pioneering chemical engineering educators, including R. Byron Bird, renowned for his research on transport phenomena of non-Newtonian fluids

Perfect for:

• Chemical engineering students

• B.E./B.Tech students studying momentum, heat, and mass transfer

• Graduate students in chemical and biological engineering

• Faculty teaching transport phenomena courses

• Practicing chemical engineers seeking a foundational and comprehensive reference
