Heat and Mass Transfer - Celine Kennedy - Bog

Heat transfer refers to the movement of heat across the border of a system caused due to difference between the temperature of the system and its surroundings. Mass transfer refers to the physical phenomenon that involves the observation of a net movement of generic particles from one place to another. These phenomena are the basis of various mechanisms and processes such as distillation of alcohol, the evaporation of water, and purification of blood in the liver and kidneys. Heat and mass transfer is a significant and well-established branch of engineering and physics. It also finds application in multiple manufacturing procedures. This book aims to shed light on the role of heat and mass transfer in the energy systems. It will also provide interesting topics for research, which interested readers can take up. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
