The comprehensive, unified, up-to-date guide to transport and separation processes

Today, chemical engineering professionals need a thorough understanding of momentum, heat, and mass transfer processes, as well as separation processes. Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, Fourth Edition offers a unified and up-to-date treatment of all these topics. Thoroughly updated to reflect the field's latest methods and applications, it covers both fundamental principles and practical applications.

Part 1 covers the essential principles underlying transport processes: momentum transfer; steady-state and unsteady-state heat transfer; and mass transfer, including both unsteady-state and convective mass transfer. Part 2 covers key separation processes, including evaporation, drying, humidification, absorption, distillation, adsorption, ion exchange, extraction, leaching, crystallization, dialysis, gas membrane separation, reverse osmosis, filtration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, settling, centrifugal separation, and more. This edition's extensive updates and enhancements include:

• A more thorough coverage of momentum, heat, and mass transport processes

• Detailed 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

• Extensive new coverage of membrane separation processes and gas-membrane theory

Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, Fourth Edition also features more than 240 example problems and over 550 homework problems reflecting the field's current methods and applications.

Good for separations techniques - 2006-03-02
Reviewer Rating:
The only review that I can give for the text would be for the separations sections, of which our class concentrated mainly on the distillation regime. Excellent structured pairing of chapter labeling with homework and example problems. Open-ended problems required a sufficient level of engineering skills.

Good Explainations, but still requires thought - 2007-01-10

I used this book as an undergrad in chemical engineering. It does a good job at walking you through the concepts without being watered down. The appendix is also great, as I used the physical data information listed in all my courses as a quick reference.

heat and mass transfer - 2008-09-29
Reviewer Rating:
book arrived quickly. was useful for both heat and mass transfer - not so great for fluid mechanics - and also for separation processes.

Amazing book. This book is all you need. - 2007-09-28
Reviewer Rating:
This book is all you need for an undergraduate course in transport processes and/or separation processes. It is well illustrated and the problems are very demonstrative. Its a must have for the chemical engineering student.
