This new edition has been updated to include more coverage of modern topics such as biomedical/biological applications as well as an added separations topic on membranes. Additionally, the fifth edition will focus on an explicit problem-solving methodology that is thoroughly and consistently implemented throughout the text. Designed for undergraduates taking transport phenomena or transfer and rate process courses. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Maybe a classic, but 5th ed. full of TYPOs!I have carefully studied this text over a two-semester series in transport phenomena and I am amazed at the severity of typographical errors. For example, eqn 27-15 on pg 502 is missing a crucial 1/n term in the infinite sum. Equation 30-20 on pg 582 is completely misplaced-- it should be on the next page. Virtually every page you turn to has at least one typo, sometimes up to ten. It is criminal to sell a book for upwards of $150 without extensive proofreading. Next time hire an editor (I'm available ...

The mass transfer portion was my favourite. I really appreciated the straightforward, fun and exiciting applications the authors incorporated into the text. It is a very good introduction to mass transfer. Hand-waving aside, I guess there has to be a balance somewhere, so for most people, it is good ...

I would have liked more information about setting up the relevant equations. These chapters are very short and do not provide sufficient information. Rating:  - GREAT TEXT! Marciej is an idiotI highly recommend this book to anyone new at the subject, it is really a very good text. The derivations are not confusing at all, in fact they are some of the easiest to follow. The way the book is written makes a hard subject relatively easy to understand. Converting units is one of the easiest thing in the world, and if the problems you have with this book are because of unit conversions then you shouldn't be reading a transport book. I also can't understand why someone would say that this book goes ... Read More Rating:  - Under writtenI believe this college level fluids textbooks is severely underwritten. The authors assume too much about your knowledge in the field of fluids. The derivations are short and confusing. There are hardly any examples that you can fall back on if you get confused when you try to workout a problem. The chapters are really short. Plus, there isn't an appendix for unit conversions but they use multiple kinds of english and SI units throughout the "examples" and end of chapter problems. As a chemical engineering ... Read More
