Transport Phenomena in Materials Processing

The book is organized in a manner characteristic of other textsin transport phenomena. Section I deals with the properties andmechanics of fluid motion; Section II with thermal properties andheat transfer; and Section III with diffusion and mass transfer.The authors depart from tradition by building on a presumedunderstanding of the relationships between the structure andproperties of matter, particularly in the chapters devoted to thetransport properties (viscosity, thermal conductivity, and thediffusion coefficients). In addition, generous portions of thetext, numerous examples, and many problems at the ends of thechapters apply transport phenomena to materials processing.
