Introduction to Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering

This book elucidates the important role of conduction convection and radiation heat transfer mass transport in solids and fluids and internal and external fluid flow in the behavior of materials processes. These phenomena are critical in materials engineering because of the connection of transport to the evolution and distribution of microstructural properties during processing. From making choices in the derivation of fundamental conservation equations to using scaling (order-of-magnitude) analysis showing relationships among different phenomena to giving examples of how to represent real systems by simple models the book takes the reader through the fundamentals of transport phenomena applied to materials processing. Fully updated this third edition of a classic textbook offers a significant shift from the previous editions in the approach to this subject representing an evolution incorporating the original ideas and extending them to a more comprehensive approach to the topic.FEATURESIntroduces order-of-magnitude (scaling) analysis and uses it to quickly obtain approximate solutions for complicated problems throughout the bookFocuses on building models to solve practical problemsAdds new sections on non-Newtonian flows turbulence and measurement of heat transfer coefficientsOffers expanded sections on thermal resistance networks transient heat transfer two-phase diffusion mass transfer and flow in porous mediaFeatures more homework problems mostly on the analysis of practical problems and new examples from a much broader range of materials classes and processes including metals ceramics polymers and electronic materialsIncludes homework problems for the review of the mathematics required for a course based on this book and connects the theory represented by mathematics with real-world problemsThis book is aimed at advanced engineering undergraduates and students early in their graduate studies as well as practicing engineers interested in understanding the behavior of heat and mass transfer and fluid flow during materials processing. While it is designed primarily for materials engineering education it is a good reference for practicing materials engineers looking for insight into phenomena controlling their processes.A solutions manual lecture slides and figure slides are available for qualifying adopting professors.
