Transport Phenomena for Biological and Agricultural Engineers: A Problem-Based Approach

A single source of information for the many facets of transport phenomena

This hands-on textbook lays out a practical approach to heat, mass, and momentum transfer for agricultural and biological engineering students—all in one book. You will get comprehensive coverage of subjects not covered in other textbooks, including refrigeration and air conditioning, drying, psychometrics, adsorption, fans and pumps, and fluid flow in pipes.

Written by a biological and agricultural engineering professor, Transport Phenomena for Biological and Agricultural Engineers: A Problem Based Approach includes examples and problems sets reflecting applications specific to the BAE engineering field. You will explore fluid, mass, and heat transfer; pressure measurements; Fick’s and Kirchoff’s Laws; and much more. This textbook is designed to be the singular resource for BAE students taking the transport phenomena course.

Packed with applied examples and problems specific to agricultural and biological engineeringCovers fluid mechanics, mass transfer, and heat transfer in one bookWritten by an experienced educator and expert in the field
