DESCRIPTION:
'Advanced Transport Phenomena contains a detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics With a focus on solving representative problems, the author aims to teach students to think about the solution of transport problems.' The Chemical Engineer' provides a solid fundamental and detailed description of mathematical and physical principles of fluid mechanics and mass transfer problems, pointing out the most important practical applications extremely well written very easily readable I believe that the concepts presented in this book will deeply stimulate new research in fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer.' Ioan Pop, Zentralblatt MATH
The author emphasizes setting up problems and extracting as much information as possible short of obtaining detailed solutions of differential equations. Advanced Transport Phenomena is ideal as a graduate textbook. Also covered are unidirectional flows, lubrication and thin-film theory, creeping flows, boundary layer theory, and convective heat and mass transport at high and low Reynolds numbers. The book also focuses on the solutions of representative problems. The emphasis is on basic physics, scaling and nondimensionalization, and approximations that can be used to obtain solutions that are due either to geometric simplifications, or large or small values of dimensionless parameters. This reflects the book's goal of teaching readers to think about the solution of transport problems.. It contains a detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer problems, focusing on approximations based on scaling and asymptotic methods, beginning with the derivation of basic equations and boundary conditions and concluding with linear stability theory
very good detailed descriptions of aspects and equations of Advanced Fluid Dynamics The book does a perfect job in explaining the equations and concepts in utmost detail and in easy-to-understand narrative style - it is clearly written for the learning student and does not try to address to scholars/experts in the field - so I can recommend it as supplementary reading. Potential buyers beware of the following: As the book subtitle indicates, the book is focused mainly on fluid dynamics covering all advanced fluid mechanics topics, with mass. Written like a novel, but an insightful text I took this class with Professor Leal and the primary complaint was that the writing style was not the standard textbook bullet-point, bite-sized sections style that everyone loves about BSL. BSL is easy as hell to read and it's generally a great book (in my humble opinion). That said, it's written for people who are looking for no more than a functional understanding of fluid mechanics. For a comprehensive, insightful ground-up academic text to deepen your . "This book is awful. Not only are there numerous" according to J. This book is awful. Not only are there numerous mistakes in very important formulas, but it is extremely hard to comprehend. I used it in a graduate level fluid mechanics class and I gained absolutely nothing from it
