While momentum, heat, and mass transfer developed independently as branches of
classical physics long ago, their unified study has found its place as one of the fundamental
engineering sciences. This development, in turn, less than half a century old, continues
to grow and to find applications in new fields such as biotechnology,
microelectronics, nanotechnology, and polymer science.
Evolution of transport phenomena has been so rapid and extensive that complete
coverage is not possible. While we have included many representative examples, our
main emphasis has, of necessity, been on the fundamental aspects of this field. Moreover,
we have found in discussions with colleagues that transport phenomena is taught
in a variety of ways and at several different levels. Enough material has been included
for two courses, one introductory and one advanced. The elementary course, in turn, can
be divided into one course on momentum transfer, and another on heat and mass transfer,
thus providing more opportunity to demonstrate the utility of this material in practical
applications. Designation of some sections as optional (0other as advanced (a)
may be helpful to students and instructors.
