Transport Phenomena

by R; Stewart Bird

Treats momentum transport (viscous flow), energy transport (heat conduction, convection, and radiation), and mass transport (diffusion). All topics are organized around the "equations of change": the equations of motion, energy, and continuity.

Reviews

[Thomas Eiden]

Transport phenomena can be a tough topic, but the book explains things well and there are plenty of sample problems and examples.

Very famous reference which is important for all chem. Engineers out there and the field of fluid dynamics.

Did not fancy the order of the chapters or the odd ways
some subjects were introduced. For example creeping flow equations were introduced in chapter 4 but the text mentions that it will be discussed/derived in chapter 5. Here is a wild idea just do it all in chapter 5. We need a shorter version of this book for dummies after we remove all redundancy and poor sorting of material

Great book for fluid flow (momentum transfer), mass transfer, heat transfer.

[Yi-Shu]

Best book for the subject!

worst experience of my life im not even joking

[Matthew]

Very helpful book. Has good examples and explanations. You need to know the math to a good degree, but ya, very insightful on how to calculate a bunch of stuff.

[Laura Zamarrón]

This definitely makes me cry

[Areefa]

This is the best textbook I’ve ever read

[Brandon Cerminara]

This text gave reliable derivations for relatively complex theories for students to reference. However, examples were fairly specific and hard to follow.

[Ian Mullet]

i'm not really recommending this book but want to go on the record as stating that this is the most elegant textbook i have ever come across. the entire text is organized around an analogy between the balance equations for momentum, energy, and mass.

[Farhad]

to not necessary to any recommendation!

[Dale Baker]

are you a chemical engineer? do ya wanna be one...then you will know the material in this classic....
I not only love it ...I teach from it when possible...
