Diffusion and Mass Transfer (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting diffusion and mass transfer from both engineering and fundamental science perspectives, this book offers a comprehensive summary of the theory and applies that theory to obtain detailed solutions to a wide variety of problems. It covers conservation laws and field equations, boundary conditions, constitutive equations, parameters in constitutive equations, and mathematical solution methods including Green's functions. The authors pay particular attention to polymer mass transfer, and they also discuss the free-volume theory for prediction of self-diffusion coefficients. Problems analyzed include bubble dissolution, impurity migration in plastic containers, and drug delivery using polymers.

Autorenporträt

James S. Vrentas received his B.S. degree in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois and his M.Ch.E. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware. As the Dow Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, he teaches and conducts research in the fundamental aspects of diffusion and fluid mechanics. He is the recipient of two national AIChE awards, the William H. Walker Award for Excellence in Contributions to the Chemical Engineering Literature and the Charles M. A. Stine Award for Materials Engineering and Science. At Penn State, he has received the College of Engineering's Premier Research Award and several teaching awards.

Christine M. Vrentas received her B.S. degree in chemical engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from Northwestern University where she studied the dynamic and transient properties of polymer solutions. She has served as an instructor at the Pennsylvania State University and is currently an adjunct professor in the chemical engineering department working in the areas of diffusion and fluid mechanics. As a public school volunteer and supporter of science education, she helped coach State College Area Middle and High School Science Olympiad teams to national gold medals and served as a regional and state event supervisor at Science Olympiad competitions.
