Description
Introductory Transport Phenomena by R. Byron Bird, Warren E. Stewart, Edwin N. Lightfoot, and Daniel Klingenberg is a new introductory textbook based on the classic Bird, Stewart, Lightfoot text, Transport Phenomena. The authors goal in writing this book reflects topics covered in an undergraduate course.

"Introductory Transport Phenomena is one of the most complete books on the subject, including sections on the topics of momentum, mass and energy transport. It s unusual to find a book that so deeply covers all three subjects as this one." May 2015 TCE Book Review, Jose Carlos Magalhaes Pires, postdoctoral researcher, University of PortoMore details
