Preface
Transport phenomena or transport processes is a concept proposed by chemical engineers in an effort to unify fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer in a stationary material or moving fluid. The core procedure prescribed in texts and elsewhere involves defining a finite or infinitesimal control volume, and then performing an integral or differential momentum, heat, mass, or some other type of balance of a transportable entity to derive a governing equation. The balance typically states that the rate of accumulation of a certain extensive property of interest, such as mass, momentum, or total energy, is determined by the rates of convective and diffusive transport across the boundaries of the control volume, as well as by appropriate rates of interior and surface loss or production. The control volume itself may be stationary or evolve in an arbitrary fashion. One subtlety of the aforementioned approach is that mass, momentum, and energy balances are consequences of the principle of mass conservation, Newton’s second law of motion, and the first law of thermodynamics. In their classical form, these natural laws apply to well-defined bodies or pieces of material (closed systems), as opposed to control volumes that allo
