Description:

Extensively updated to include advances in the field, this classic guide unites principles of transport phenomena with environmental processes. It covers the fundamentals of mass and momentum transport processes, emphasizing aerosol and colloidal systems. New developments in biotechnology, nanotechnology, indoor air quality, micropollutants, and membranes are also discussed. It has an environmental focus on sedimentation, coagulation, adsorption, filtration, dispersion, chromatography, and porous media transport. With numerous problems and examples, this is the premier reference for environmental engineers, civil engineers, chemical engineers, and professors and students in these fields.
