The book provides a unified treatment of momentum transfer (fluid mechanics), heat transfer and mass transfer. The treatment of the three areas of transport phenomena is done sequentially. The subjects of momentum, heat, and mass transfer are introduced, in that order, and appropriate analysis tools are developed. Special Features Extensive tables of physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Modern applications of the basic material with applications to contemporary technologies, such as materials processing, electronic chip cooling, biochemical engineering, etc About the Author Dr. Welty is a professor emeritus at Oregon State University, and teaches Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics.  He is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).  His current academic research interests interests include fluidized bed heat transfer, radiation through arrays of discrete surfaces, microscale fluid mechanics and a variety of numerical heat transfer studies.
