This handbook discusses a wide class of transport phenomena, namely the transport in fluids and heat and mass transfer. The author describes the underlying physical processes and presents the governing partial differential equations. Simple examples and analytical and numerical solutions illustrate the connection between physical phenomena and their mathematical description. The topics covered in this useful book are reflected in its contents: I. Transport phenomena. 1. Conservation equations; 2. Mechanics of fluids; 3. Heat transfer by conduction; 4. Forced convection; 5. Natural convection; 6. Radiative transfer; 7. Mass transfer; II. Numerical solutions. 8. Finite differences; 9. Elliptic equations; 10. Finite volume method. Eight appendices and a subject index complete the book. Written in a concise and clear form, the book can be helpful both to students and engineers in the heat and mass transfer field.
