Reseña del libro "transport phenomena and unit operations: a combined approach"
the subject of transport phenomena has long been thoroughly and expertly addressed on the graduate and theoretical levels. now transport phenomena and unit operations: a combined approach endeavors not only to introduce the fundamentals of the discipline to a broader, undergraduate-level audience but also to apply itself to the concerns of practicing engineers as they design, analyze, and construct industrial equipment. richard griskey ` s innovative treatment successfully melds two mainstream curricular areas of chemical engineering: transport phenomena and unit operations. the text is an extension of both bird, stewart, and lightfoot ` s classic transport phenomena and traditional unit operation texts such as mccabe, smith, and harriott.this unique treatment produces a clearly written textbook that undergraduates can easily grasp. transport phenomena and unit operations bridges the gap between theory and practice, with a focus on advancing the concept of the engineer as practitioner. chapters in this comprehensive volume include: transport processes and coefficients frictional flow in conduits free and forced convective heat transfer heat exchangers mass transfer; molecular diffusion equilibrium staged operations mechanical separations the author has included 96 solved examples as well as over 560 chapter problems, with a solutions manual for these problems available upon course adoption. each chapter contains a set of comprehensive problem sets with real-world quantitative data, affording students the opportunity to test their knowledge in practical situations. transport phenomena and unit operations effectively combines theory and practice in one concise volume. the book is, therefore, of great value to practitioners not only in chemical engineering, but also in mechanical, environmental, biomedical, and materials engineering, and the physical sciences.
