Heat And Mass Transfer Engineering

This book offers an easy-to-understand introduction to the computational mass transfer (CMT) method. On the basis of the contents of the first edition, this new edition is characterized by the following additional materials.

This book covers the transport of momentum, heat, and mass in non-equilibrium systems. It derives differential balance equations for general properties and introduces the concepts of convective and diffusive flux. These are applied to the conservation of mass. Next, differential force balances are used to develop the governing equations for momentum transport, and includes a discussion of stress and viscosity.

In the present book, nanofluid heat and mass transfer in engineering problems are investigated.

The book aims to provide new insights to understand the heat and mass transfer phenomena, serving as a platform for exchanging inspiring ideas and boosting further development of these disciplines. This book focuses on the latest advances in applying fundamental heat and mass transfer theory and novel technologies for addressing a wide range of industrial problems of interest.

Is the heat and mass transfer intensification defined as a new paradigm of process engineering, or is it just a common and old idea, renamed and given the current taste? Where might intensification occur?
How to achieve intensification? How the shape optimization of thermal and fluidic devices leads to intensified heat and mass transfers? To answer these questions, Heat & Mass Transfer Intensification and Shape Optimization: A Multi-scale Approach clarifies the definition of the intensification by highlighting the potential role of the multi-scale structures, the specific interfacial area, the distribution of driving force, the modes of energy supply and the temporal aspects of processes.
