Donald R. Pitts, Leighton E. Sissom: Elements od Transport Phenomena. International student edition

Reacting to the widespread desire to reduce the number of hours in the engineering curriculum while retaining its integrity, the authors and their colleagues have been working for 4 years to combine the elements of heat, mass, and momentum transfer into a single unified sequence. By eliminating redundant material courses could cover more topics in less time in the unified sequence, entitled Transport Phenomena, than had previously been possible in the separate transfer courses. More time was available for emphasizing fundamentals.
While it was possible to satisfy the needs of the Transport Phenomena sequence by carefully selecting material from a host of outstanding texts on its elements, no single text met the goals of the unified sequence. This book has evolved in response to that need. The authors claim little originality in its fundamental content but are pleased to introduce an approach they believe to be unique.
Relying upon the principle that physical phenomena are often so coupled that they can be described by common mathematical models, the text begins with the most elementary fluid condition – static. Analogous to the study of solid mechanics, the fundamental principles are then extended to moving media – forced and natural motion – and the student is carried through a process of increasing complexity as additional term are introduced in the govering equations. The text concludes with carefully selected applications of interest to the chemical, civil and mechanical engineer.
