Online resources: Summary: Enables readers to apply transport phenomena principles to solve advanced problems in all areas of engineering and science This book helps readers elevate their understanding of, and their ability to apply, transport phenomena by introducing a broad range of advanced topics as well as analytical and numerical solution techniques. Readers gain the ability to solve complex problems generally not addressed in undergraduate-level courses, including nonlinear, multidimensional transport, and transient molecular and convective transport scenarios. Avoiding rote memorization, the author emphasizes a dual approach to learning in which physical understanding and problem-solving capability are developed simultaneously. Moreover, the author builds both readers' interest and knowledge by: Demonstrating that transport phenomena are pervasive, affecting every aspect of life Offering historical perspectives to enhance readers' understanding of current theory and methods Providing numerous examples drawn from a broad range of fields in the physical and life sciences and engineering Contextualizing problems in scenarios so that their rationale and significance are clear This text generally avoids the use of commercial software for problem solutions, helping readers cultivate a deeper understanding of how solutions are developed. References throughout the text promote further study and encourage the student to contemplate additional topics in transport phenomena. Transport Phenomena is written for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in chemical and mechanical engineering. Upon mastering the principles and techniques presented in this text, all readers will be better able to critically evaluate a broad range of physical phenomena, processes, and systems across many disciplines.Summary: TRANSPORT PHENOMENA: An Introduction to Advanced Topics -- CONTENTS -- PREFACE -- 1 INTRODUCTION AND SOME USEFUL REVIEW -- 1.1 A MESSAGE FOR THE STUDENT -- 1.2 DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS -- 1.3 CLASSIFICATION OF PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS -- 1.4 NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS FOR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS -- 1.5 VECTORS, TENSORS, AND THE EQUATION OF MOTION -- 1.6 THE MEN FOR WHOM THE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS ARE NAMED -- 1.7 SIR ISAAC NEWTON -- REFERENCES -- 2 INVISCID FLOW: SIMPLIFIED FLUID MOTION -- 2.1 INTRODUCTION -- 2.2 TWO-DIMENSIONAL POTENTIAL FLOW -- 2.3 NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF POTENTIAL FLOW PROBLEMS -- 2.4 CONCLUSION -- REFERENCES -- 3 LAMINAR FLOWS IN DUCTS AND ENCLOSURES -- 3.1 INTRODUCTION -- 3.2 HAGEN-POISEUILLE FLOW -- 3.3 TRANSIENT HAGEN-POISEUILLE FLOW -- 3.4 POISEUILLE FLOW IN AN ANNULUS -- 3.5 DUCTS WITH OTHER CROSS SECTIONS -- 3.6 COMBINED COUETTE AND POISEUILLE FLOWS -- 3.7 COUETTE FLOWS IN ENCLOSURES -- 3.8 GENERALIZED TWO-DIMENSIONAL FLUID MOTION IN DUCTS -- 3.9 SOME CONCERNS IN COMPUTATIONAL FLUID MECHANICS -- 3.10 FLOW IN THE ENTRANCE OF DUCTS -- 3.11 CREEPING FLUID MOTIONS IN DUCTS AND CAVITIES -- 3.12 MICROFLUIDICS: FLOW IN VERY SMALL CHANNELS -- 3.12.1 Electrokinetic Phenomena -- 3.12.2 Gases in Microfluidics -- 3.13 FLOWS IN OPEN CHANNELS -- 3.14 PULSATILE FLOWS IN CYLINDRICAL DUCTS -- 3.15 SOME CONCLUDING REMARKS FOR INCOMPRESSIBLE VISCOUS FLOWS -- REFERENCES -- 4 EXTERNAL LAMINAR FLOWS AND BOUNDARY-LAYER THEORY -- 4.1 INTRODUCTION -- 4.2 THE FLAT PLATE -- 4.3 FLOW SEPARATION PHENOMENA ABOUT BLUFF BODIES -- 4.4 BOUNDARY LAYER ON A WEDGE: THE FALKNER-SKAN PROBLEM -- 4.5 THE FREE JET -- 4.6 INTEGRAL MOMENTUM EQUATIONS -- 4.7 HIEMENZ STAGNATION FLOW -- 4.8 FLOW IN THE WAKE OF A FLAT PLATE AT ZERO INCIDENCE -- 4.9 CONCLUSION -- REFERENCES -- 5 INSTABILITY, TRANSITION, AND TURBULENCE -- 5.1 INTRODUCTION.PPN: PPN: 808959611Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
