Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer
Product Description Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat, and Mass Transfer, now in its fifth edition, continues to provide a unified treatment of momentum transfer (fluid mechanics), heat transfer, and mass transfer. This new edition has been updated to include more coverage of modern topics such as biomedical/biological applications as well as an added separations topic on membranes. Additionally, the fifth edition will focus on an explicit problem-solving methodology that is thoroughly and consistently implemented throughout the text. Designed for undergraduates taking transport phenomena or transfer and rate process courses. Book Info Textbook containing contemporary subject matter relating to the basics of heat, momentum and mass transfer. Includes homework problems and practice exercises that deal with current technologies, revised coverage of mass transfer, and extensive tables of physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases, among other features. Previous edition not cited. DLC: Fluid mechanics. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Reader Reviews This review is from: Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat, and Mass Transfer (Hardcover) this book is a teaser.... it tells you of all the great stuff that can be known about the subject and then with a magical bit of hand waving, skips over the important (and more interesting) details.... This is perfectly ok for the "engineer" who believes in "let the mathematicians derive the equations; engineers just apply". If I were toon the frequency of hand waving, I'd say a suitable metaphor would be the typical WLAN transmission frequency..... (~2.4GHz if I'm not mistaken) alright... i may be giving the wrong impression of this book. It does give derivations in sufficient detail, i think, to the satisfaction of most people. (Things it gives vague hints of, but does not explicitly explain, are interesting things like the decomposition of work done through stresses to normal-shear or the alternative "spherical"-deviatoric components.) I guess my dissatisfaction is mainly with the "teasing" where hand waving would have been necessary in order not to add another 100 pages. But I'm still rather dissatisfied. This is an expensive book, even when discounted.... and the hand waving treads into certain areas which should not be neglected: Stress tensor not well developed, or rather not developed; the strain (rate) tensor doesn't fare too well either. But it's a good enough undergradate text. At least good enough for a mechanical engineer. Comment | | (Report this)
