Short description
For this paperback edition, the opportunity has been taken to correct and update the text while a new section on the numerical simulation of flow processes using computers has been added.
Long description
A rich variety of phenomena governs the behaviour and kinetics of metallurgical processing operations. Unusually high operating temperatures, intense radiation, viscous slags, dense metals, etc, make the design and operation of metallurgical processes unique.;This text introduces the basic mechanisms of heat, mass and fluid flow, and then follows a series of metallurgical examples and exercises. Empirical techniques for modelling and for process design are presented along with numerical techniques and computer programs. This paperback edition has been updated, with a new section on numerical simulation of fluid flow processes added, to reflect the important contribution of computer simulation to the subject.
Review
Will be appreciated by students of metallurgy, and those engineers involved in the metallurgical process industries, and could be expected to be a standard reference for many years. --Journal of Materials Processing Technology
This book has the advantage over more general texts on transport phenomena in that it focuses specifically on metallurgical applications. . . . the true strength of this book lies in its wealth of practical examples, a reflection on the industrial experience of its author. . . . easy for the student to read and follow. . . . an excellent text . . . unique in its emphasis on steel making applications, its abundance of solutions to practical industrial problems, and its inclusion of numerical analysis techniques. Highly recommended. --Applied Mechanics Review
Emphasizes transport phenomena specifically for the process metalurgist rather than for the chemical or mechanical engineer. Provides exercises based on industrial applications. --The New York Public Library New Technical Books
