Description

 Appropriate for one-year transport phenomena (also called transport processes) and separation processes course.

The
first semester covers fluid mechanics, heat, and mass transfer; the
second semester covers separation process principles (includes unit
operations)

. The title of this Fourth Edition has been changed
from Transport Processes and Unit Operations to Transport Processes and
Separation Process Principles (Includes Unit Operations).

This was
done because the term Unit Operations has been largely superseded by
the term Separation Processes which better reflects the present modern
nomenclature being used.

The main objectives and the format of the Fourth Edition remain the same.

The
sections on momentum transfer have been greatly expanded, especially in
the sections on fluidized beds, flow meters, mixing, and non-Newtonian
fluids.

Material has been added to the chapter on mass transfer.

The chapters on absorption, distillation, and liquid-liquid extraction have also been enlarged.

More new material has been added to the sections on ion exchange and crystallization.

The chapter on membrane separation processes has been greatly expanded especially for gas-membrane theory.
