Transport Phenomena in Multiphase Systems

Engineering students in a wide variety of engineering and engineering systems. This textbook has been developed to address this problem, it is a problem in engineering design. Professional engineers, too, will find this book as a chemical processing system design and more.

* Develops an understanding of the thermal and physical behavior of multiphase systems with phase change, including bio-engineering, materials science, nuclear engineering, environmental engineering, process engineering, biotechnology and nanotechnology

* Brings all three forms of phase change, ie, liquid <-> vapor, solid <-> liquid and solid <-> vapor, into one volume

* Presents the generalized integral and differential transport phenomena equations for multi-component multiphase systems. The molecular approach is also discussed with microscopic and molecular approaches

* Presents basic principles of analyzing transport phenomena in multiphase systems with emphasis on melting, solidification, sublimation, vapor deposition, condensation, evaporation, boiling and two-phase flow

* Solid / liquid / vapor interfacial phenomena, including the concepts of surface tension, wetting and phenomena, including interfacial balances for mass, species, momentum, and energy for multi-component and multiphase interfaces are discussed

* Ample examples and end-of-chapter problems, with the Solutions and PowerPoint presentation available to the instructors
