Description:

Scaling Analysis in Modeling Transport and Reaction Processes is the first book to provide in-depth information on systematic scaling analysis in diverse disciplines. It islogically divided into chapters on the use of systematic scaling analysis in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, and reaction processes. Each chapter includes several problems that are explained in considerable detail,followed by several worked examples for which the general outline for the scaling is given.
