This book presents an integrated treatment of those processes by which mass is transferred either by molecular diffusion alone, or by molecular diffusion plus convection with known and unknown velocity fields, respectively. Both steady- and unsteady-state diffusion are
considered, as are external and internal flows under laminar and turbulent regimes. Column design procedures are described for a variety of operations, including the simultaneous transfer of heat and mass. The approach throughout is from the rate process point of view and many worked and unworked problems are provided. This book should prove helpful to senior and graduate students as well as to practicing engineers. |
