Transport Phenomena

10 Comments to Read
Transport Phenomena has been revised to include deeper and more extensive coverage of heat transfer, enlarged discussion of dimensional analysis, a new chapter on flow of polymers, systematic discussions of convective momentum,and energy.
Topics also include mass transport, momentum transport and energy transport, which are presented at three different scales: molecular, microscopic and macroscopic. If this is your first look at Transport Phenomena you’ll quickly learn that its balanced introduction to the subject of transport phenomena is the foundation of its long-standing success.

not good for bachellor’s students
Very complex and hard to follow. Definately for a more advanced student. My professor made us by it because he is a grouchy man who thought we were trying to obtain a master’s…

Great book
Great book for the price and many good examples.
I recommend getting the solutions manual (if you can obtain it).

Difficult but very good
This book was very difficult to understand on first pass through for my classes in Fluid Mechanics. However I have used it several times as a reference and each time I read it I…

Great, great book, only minor faults
This book is one of the best books I’ve come across as an undergraduate in Chemical Engineering. It presents the subject matter very well, in a nice, concise, well thought out…

A poor replacement for the original
The original BSL (red cover) edition contained a wealth of information and detailed derivations of each method.

THE Standard for Transport Phenomenon
Using this book as an undergraduate student, it really was hard for me to understand what it was telling me at first, but combined with a good professor I realized that the book…

A true chemical engineering classic
Transport Phenomenon by Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot is one of the most useful chemical engineering textbook ever written.

Reintroducing an old friend in a new suit
Most chemical engineers grew up with BSL. For myself, I found out what the graduate students were using. The old red-back version was intimidating. It was hard to use.

Good book, but need solid background to understand
Overall this is a good book for learning transport phenomena, however, if you are lacking in some of the fundamentals (fluids, heat, etc) some of the steps in the examples don’t…
