An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics and Transport Phenomena
FLUID MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Volume 86
Series Editor: R. MOREAU MADYLAM Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Hydraulique de Grenoble Boîte Postale 95 38402 Saint Martin d’Hères Cedex, France
Aims and Scope of the Series The purpose of this series is to focus on subjects in which fluid mechanics plays a fundamental role. As well as the more traditional applications of aeronautics, hydraulics, heat and mass transfer etc., books will be published dealing with topics which are currently in a state of rapid development, such as turbulence, suspensions and multiphase fluids, super and hypersonic flows and numerical modeling techniques. It is a widely held view that it is the interdisciplinary subjects that will receive intense scientific attention, bringing them to the forefront of technological advancement. Fluids have the ability to transport matter and its properties as well as to transmit force, therefore fluid mechanics is a subject that is particularly open to cross fertilization with other sciences and disciplines of engineering. The subject of fluid mechanics will be highly relevant in domains such as chemical, metallurgical, biological and ecological engineering. This series is particularly open to such new multidisciplinary domains. The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts are monographs defining the current state of a field; others are accessible to final year undergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity.

Preface
This text is a brief introduction to fundamental concepts of transport phenomena within a fluid, namely momentum, heat and mass transfer. The emphasis of the text is placed upon a basic, systematic approach from the fluid mechanics point of view, in conjunction with a unified treatment of transport phenomena. In order to make the book useful for students, there are numerous examples. Each chapter presents a collection of proposed problems, whose solutions can be found in the Problem
