    A Transport Phenomena Approach

    The book introduces study of heat and mass transfer from the view point of transport phenomena. The
    book aims at developing the subject from basic levels but includes topics of contemporary interest. This
    approach allows a student to learn basic material and also have an idea of advanced applications. The
    special feature of the book is in solving problems, and offering explanations both from a mathematical
    view point and rationalization from a physical basis. Another important aspect of the book is the
    emphasis placed on scaling and understanding dimensionless groups. With the belief that students
    should be enabled to work on applications, chapters on computational fluid dynamics and turbulence
    are included in the book. These aspects distinguish this book from other books on transport
    phenomena. It starts with foundations and description of heat transfer in terms which are easy to grasp.
    The quantitative analysis of heat transfer progresses from shell balances, to the general equations of
    change of temperature. The problems solved include examples of steady and unsteady conduction,
    covection with short and long contact times, and natural convection. Analysis of phase change is one of
    the advanced topics covered. Mass transfer is covered taking advantage of the experience gained from
    a study of heat tranfer. The coverage progresses from dilute binary systems to multicomponent
    systems. Problems solved include steady and unsteady diffusion in binary and multicomponent
    systems, mass transfer with chemical reaction, high flux corrections, and convective mass transfer in
    dilute solutions. Advanced topics covered are fuel cells, centrifugal separations and crystal growth.

    Professor K.S. Gandhi studied


    chemical engineering and obtained his
    Bachelor's degree with honors from
    Andhra University, Master's degree
    from Ohio State University, and
    doctorate from University of California
    at Berkeley. He taught in the Indian
    Institute of Technology, Kanpur and in
    the Indian Institute of Science,
    Bangalore. He taught a basic course on
    Transport Phenomena designed to be a
    core course for all engineers at the
    Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
    He taught Transport Phenomena and
    Heat & Mass Transfer to postgraduate
    students both in the Indian Institute of
    Technology, Kanpur and in the Indian
    Institute of Science, Bangalore. He
    worked in the R&D centre of Pilkington
    Brothers, UK on fluid mechanics of
    glass fibre filled moulding compounds.
    His research interests are in the
    analysis of transport processes in
    polymer processing and reactors,
    liquid-liquid systems, gas-liquid
    systems and electrochemical power
    sources. His research work was
    recognized by the award of fellowships
    of the Indian Academy of Sciences,
    Bangalore and the Indian National
    Academy of Engineering.
