Solved Problems in Transport Phenomena: Momentum Transfer

Transport Phenomena is an umbrella term to describe the fundamental processes of momentum, energy, and mass transfer.This unique compendium covers momentum transfer at the microscopic and macroscopic levels in the three stages of problem-solving, namely formulation, simplification, and mathematical solution. The book does not overwhelm students with a large repertoire of problems. Instead, it highlights clear and easy presentation to help students grasp the methodology in problem-solving.This useful reference text benefits upper undergraduate and graduate level students in the fields of chemical, mechanical, civil, and environmental engineering.Contents:IntroductionFluid StaticsLiquids in Rigid-Body MotionFlow Due to Motion of Boundaries and/or GravityFlow Due to Pressure GradientFlow Due to Pressure Gradient and Motion of BoundariesFlow of Non-Newtonian FluidsCreeping FlowLubrication ApproximationFlow in MicrochannelsOrder of Magnitude AnalysisTwo-Dimensional FlowMacroscopic BalancesAppendix A: Vector and Tensor AlgebraAppendix B:Constants and Conversion FactorsReadership: Researchers, professionals, academics, and graduate students in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and environmental engineering.
