Appropriate for one-year transport phenomena (also called transport processes) and separation processes course. First semester covers fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer; second semester covers separation process principles (includes unit operations). The title of this Fourth Edition has been changed from Transport Processes and Unit Operations to Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles (Includes Unit Operations). This was done because the term Unit Operations has been largely superseded by the term Separation Processes which better reflects the present modern nomenclature being used. The main objectives and the format of the Fourth Edition remain the same. The sections on momentum transfer have been greatly expanded, especially in the sections on fluidized beds, flow meters, mixing, and non-Newtonian fluids. Material has been added to the chapter on mass transfer. The chapters on absorption, distillation, and liquid-liquid extraction have also been enlarged. More new material has been added to the sections on ion exchange and crystallization. The chapter on membrane separation processes has been greatly expanded especially for gas-membrane theory. Salient Features The comprehensive, unified, up-to-date guide to transport and separation processes. A more thorough coverage of momentum, heat, and mass transport processes and new coverage of separation process applications. Greatly expanded coverage of momentum transfer, including fluidized beds and non-Newtonian fluids. More detailed discussions of mass transfer, absorption, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, and crystallization. New to this Edition More unified introduction to the transport processes of momentum, heat, and mass transfer and to the applications of separation processes. Enables the student who must study so many topics today to better understand their interrelationships. Expanded sections on momentum transfer-Especially in the sections on fluidized beds and non-Newtonian fluids. Presents topics that are especially important in the chemical engineering field. Material has been added to the chapters on mass transfer. Allows a fundamental understanding of the theory of separation processes. Chapters on absorption, distillation, and liquid-liquid extraction have been enlarged. Exposes the student to the newer applications in these separation processes. Membrane separation processes chapter has been greatly expanded especially for gas-membrane theory. Gives the student knowledge in these newly expanding membrane processes.
