Short description
This text underlines the author's primary belief that the development of a mathematical model is central to the analysis and design of an engineering system or process. It is oriented toward teaching students how to develop mathematical representations (models) of physical phenomena.
Long description
This highly recommended book on transport phenomena shows readers how to develop mathematical representations (models) of physical phenomena. The key elements in model development involve assumptions about the physics, the application of basic physical principles, the exploration of the implications of the resulting model, and the evaluation of the degree to which the model mimics reality. This book also expose readers to the wide range of technologies where their skills may be applied.
