Heat and mass transfer are a crucial element of everyday life. Everything from air conditioners, microwaves, and rudimentary televisions to the cell phone in our pocket is based on this principle. As the name implies, heat and mass transfer is concerned with determining the rate at which heat is carried across a medium such as conduction, convection, or radiation. To achieve heat transfer, engineers also examine the transfer of mass of different chemical species, either cold or hot. Despite the fact that these mechanisms have separate properties, they frequently occur in the same system at the same time. The transport equations for thermal energy, mechanical momentum, and mass transfer are similar, and analogies among these three transport processes have been developed to facilitate prediction of conversion from any one to the others.
This book unfolds the innovative aspects, which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject of heat and mass transfer. It is designed in such a way that it provides a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of this subject matter. It deals with thermodynamics, equilibrium, statistical mechanics, quantum thermodynamics and energy conversion. The aim of this book is to make the complex subject of heat transfer easy to comprehend and understand. It also focuses on refrigeration cycle, radiation, radiation, heat exchangers and condensation. The various applications along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in it. It will greatly assist students in the fields of chemical engineering kinetics and computational modelling.
