The final three chapters of this text dealt with one of the most mathematical subjects of any undergraduate curriculum. The subject material in those chapters along with the chapter on chemical reaction kinetics provides the molecular basis for all unit operations that a process technologist might encounter. Only graduate-school nuclear physics and quantum mechanics are more complicated. Nevertheless, the intention of this book is to provide the practical knowledge that process technologists need so that they may safely perform their duties. In addition, it should be obvious that those last three chapters used the lessons learned from the earlier chapters.
Chapter 12, “Transport Phenomena: Mass Transfer,” used material balances from ...
