From the Back Cover
A TRUSTED CLASSIC, NOW UPDATED WITH MODERN APPLICATIONS
For more than three decades, FUNDAMENTALS OF MOMENTUM, HEAT, AND MASS TRANSFER has set the standard in the field with its consistent, clearly written, unified approach to transfer processes.
Building on the strengths of previous editions, the Fourth Edition of this classic text is updated with applications to contemporary technologies, such as materials processing, electronic chip cooling, biochemical engineering, and more. Readers will develop a sound understanding of transfer phenomena, build a set of valuable analysis skiss, and apply basic principles to a wide variety of modern problems and examples.
Feature of the Fourth Edition
- New! Contemporary subject matter.
- New! More homework exercises and example problems that deal with current technologies.
- New! Revised coverage pf mass transfer.
- Consistent approach to transport processes, highlighting similarities among different modes.
- Easy-to-understand descriptions of basic principles.
- A clear methodology for solving fundamentally based problems.
- Extensive table of physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Maybe a classic, but 5th ed. full of TYPOs!,

This review is from: Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer (Hardcover)
I have carefully studied this text over a two-semester series in transport phenomena and I am amazed at the severity of typographical errors. For example, eqn 27-15 on pg 502 is missing a crucial 1/n term in the infinite sum. Equation 30-20 on pg 582 is completely misplaced-- it should be on the next page. Virtually every page you turn to has at least one typo, sometimes up to ten. It is criminal to sell a book for upwards of $150 without extensive proofreading. Next time hire an editor (I'm available for a reasonable pay).

4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice mass transfer portion,
This review is from: Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer (Hardcover)
I didn't really like the portions on heat and momentum transfer, because I think there are other more specialised books dealing with those areas, and the applications problems weren't that great.
The mass transfer portion was my favourite. I really appreciated the straightforward, fun and exiciting applications the authors incorporated into the text. It is a very good introduction to mass transfer. Hand-waving aside, I guess there has to be a balance somewhere, so for most people, it is good enough, as it is for me. Overall 4-star grading, but only because of the good mass transfer portion.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer (Hardcover)
I had a great experience with this seller. Fast shipment, good price, I'd do it again!This book is the same book we study in our ChemE classes at Tech and some of the BME classes. Have I written enough, yet?
