Volume 2 of the series on Solved Problems in Transport Phenomena is out. This unique compendium covers energy transfer at the microscopic and macroscopic levels in a format that does not overwhelm students with a large repertoire of problems. It uses clear highlights and easy-to-follow concept presentations to help students grasp the methodology in problem solving.
Solved Problems in Transport Phenomena: Energy Transfer shows the students how to tackle a problem related to heat transfer as if they were going to solve it for the first time in their lives. A balanced approach between obtaining the model equation representing a physical phenomenon and exploiting various mathematical techniques to solve them is employed in the book. This approach helps students to gain physical intuition and mathematical skills.
The book can be used by upper undergraduate and graduate level students in transport phenomena and heat transfer courses in conjunction with standard textbooks in the fields of chemical, mechanical, petroleum, and environmental engineering. Carefully selected example problems by Tosun show students the three stages of problem-solving, namely formulation, simplification, and mathematical solution.
Solved Problems in Transport Phenomena: Energy Transfer retails for US$138 / £120 (hardcover) and is also available in electronic formats. To order or know more about the book, visit http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/13353.
