Transport Processes Primer - Constantine Pozrikidis

In This Concise Yet Comprehensive Book, The Author Discusses The Principles Of Mass, Momentum, And Energy Transport, And Derives Balance Equations For Single-component Fluids And Multicomponent Mixtures Based On The Direct Application Of Natural Laws And Principles Of Thermodynamics. Transport Equations Over Control Volumes Are Formulated With Reference To The Reynolds Transport Equation, Thereby Circumventing The Need For Ad-hoc Balances For Open Systems That Are Best Justified In Hindsight. Notable Features With Regard To Mass Transport Include The Interpretation Of Diffusion In Mixtures In Terms Of Species Parcel Motion And Separation, The Introduction Of Ficks And Fractional Diffusion Laws With Reference To Random Molecular Excursions, A Detailed Account Of Species And Mixture Kinematics And Dynamics, And The Discussion Of Partial Stresses, Energies, And Entropies Of Individual Mixture Components.
