Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer, 5th Edition

Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer, 5th Edition (EHEP000138) cover image

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.
