Written for chemical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering students taking courses on heat and mass transfer, this textbook presents the basics and proceeds to the required theory and its application aspects. Major topics covered include conduction, convection, radiation, boiling, heat exchangers, and mass transfer and are explained in a detailed, to-thepoint manner. Basic Concepts and Definitions. Conduction Heat Transfer. One-dimensional, Steady-State Conduction. Unsteady Heat Conduction. Convection Heat Transfer. Radiation Heat Transfer. Mass Transfer. Boiling and Condensation. Heat Exchangers.

Presenting diffusion and mass transfer from both engineering and fundamental science perspectives, this book summarizes the theory and uses that theory to obtain detailed solutions to a wide variety of problems. It covers conservation laws and field equations, boundary conditions, constitutive equations, parameters in constitutive equations, and mathematical solution methods including Green’s functions. The authors pay particular attention to polymer mass transfer and discuss the free-volume theory for prediction of self-diffusion coefficients. Problems analyzed include bubble dissolution, impurity migration in plastic containers, and drug delivery using polymers.
