Book Description

047112348X 978-0471123484 August 24, 1996 1
A New Approach to Environmental Engineering Education his exciting introduction to environmental modeling unites the principles underlying mass and momentum transport phenomena with environmental processes that ultimately determine the spread and control of pollutants in air, water, and soil.

Transport Modeling for Environmental Engineers and Scientists builds on integrated transport courses pioneered thirty years ago in the chemical engineering curriculum, and demonstrates the underlying unity of mass and momentum transport processes. It describes how these processes operate within the major environmental media, and how they underlie and unify the mechanics common to both pollutant transport and pollution control processes.

Offering a solid foundation for the development of improved environmental designs and models, this comprehensive text:
* Covers the fundamentals of mass and momentum transport processes with an emphasis on aerosol and colloidal systems
* Presents an environmental focus on sedimentation, coagulation, adsorption, filtration, dispersion, chromatography, and porous media transport
* Includes chapters on chemical kinetics and reactor design
* Includes worked examples and numerous exercises at the end of each chapter
* Features numerous illustrations.


An excellent text for upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate courses in environmental and chemical engineering, Transport Modeling for Environmental Engineers and Scientists is also well suited for professional environmental engineers and scientists.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is indeed a significant contribution to the literature and is a useful book for students, scientists, and engineers interested in mathematical modeling in typical environmental situations." (Environ Earth Sci, 2010)

 

--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

From the Publisher

A comprehensive introduction to environmental modeling of mass and momentum transport processes. Unifies the reader's understanding of environmental phenomena by examining the underlying fundamentals of transport processes that determine the fate of contaminants in the three main environmental media: soil, water, and air. Provides an understanding of existing processes by stressing the common features underlying pollutant transport and pollution control processes. Adopts a similar approach to the integrated heat, mass, and momentum transport courses of chemical and mechanical engineering and forms the basis of new and improved models and designs in environmental engineering. Employs examples, case studies, and exercises with an environmental focus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly well-written textbook, February 19, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Transport Modeling for Environmental Engineers and Scientists (Hardcover)
I purchased this book in 2009 because it was a required textbook for an Environmental Engineering graduate course I took. It is written well enough that a person with a technical background can read it once in most cases, and then be able to apply its methods to solve problems. It is fairly well organized, although we did not get through the entire text in the course I took.
