Transport phenomena is the collective name given to the systematic and integrated study of three classical areas of engineering science: (i) energy or heat transport, (ii) mass transport or diffusion, and (iii) momentum transport or fluid dynamics. Of course, heat and mass transport occur frequently in fluids, and for this reason some engineering educators prefer to include these processes in their treatment of fluid mechanics. Since transport phenomena also includes heat conduction and diffusion in solids, however, the subject is actually of wider scope than fluid mechanics. It is also distin
