Careful attention is paid to the presentation of the basic theory.

* Enhanced sections throughout text provide much firmer foundation than the first edition.

* Literature citations are given throughout for reference to additional material.

One of the fundamental engineering sciences, the study of transport phenomena has applications in a number of emerging fields, such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and polymer science. While not aiming to be a comprehensive treatment of the subject, this text presents enough material for both an introductory and an advanced course. The second edition features new coverage on a number of topics, including Taylor dispersion, angular momentum conservation, and matrix methods for multicomponent mass transfer.
