This technical monograph provides a rigorous and systematic treatment of the physical and mathematical principles governing mass transfer processes. The text establishes the fundamental mechanisms of mass transport, specifically focusing on molecular diffusion (Fick’s laws) and convective mass transfer involving fluid motion. Author V. Kafarov examines the transport of species within a single…
This classic textbook provides a rigorous and comprehensive introduction to the principles of thermodynamics and their applications in physics and engineering. The author develops the subject from a macroscopic viewpoint, establishing the laws of thermodynamics—including the Zeroth, First, and Second Laws—and exploring their consequences for physical systems. Key topics include the concepts…
