Table of contents:
Some Basic Notions: Rates of Mass Transfer. Modeling Mass Transport: The Mass Balances. Diffusion Through Gases, Liquids, and Solids. More About Diffusion: Transient Diffusion and Diffusion With Reaction. A Survey of Mass Transfer Coefficients. Phase Equilibria. Staged Operations: The Equilibrium Stage. Continuous-Contact Operations. Simultaneous Heat and Mass Transfer. Selected References. Appendices. Subject Index
A concise text on mass transfer, this book covers a wealth of practical applications in chemical, environmental, biomedical, engineering, and materials science. Using examples to illustrate and teach key concepts, the author walks readers through the thought processes involved in reducing actual problems into manageable engineering portions and then analyzes the solutions found. His analysis of the examples is thorough and he transitions smoothly and logically from theory to real world applications. Taking an integrated, rational approach that highlights the importance of models, the author shows readers how to simplify complex problems, make engineering estimates, and avoid common pitfalls.
