Transport Properties of Fluids: Their Correlation, Prediction and Estimation | Date: 22 April 2011, 07:31
|
This book describes the most reliable methods for evaluating the transport properties of pure gases and fluid mixtures, such as viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusion. The authors place particular emphasis on recent theoretical advances in our understanding of fluid transport properties in all the different regions of temperature and pressure. In addition to the important theoretical tools, the authors cover the different methods of data representation, and they follow this with a section that demonstrates the application of selected models in a range of circumstances. They then offer case studies of transport property analysis for real fluids, and the book concludes with a discussion of various international data banks and prediction packages. Advanced students of kinetic theory, as well as engineers and scientists involved with the design of process equipment or the interpretation of measurements of fluid transport properties, will find this book indispensable.
• Only available description of state-of-the-art theories of transport properties at all temperatures and pressures • Contains detailed examples of the application of theoretical methods

Review
‘Not only does this book try to present the topics in a uniform style - for which the editors should be commended - but the theory is also concise, yet comprehensive, and presented in a digestible way that leads to useful results. This book is a valuable addition to the literature on the transport of fluids, and will undoubtedly be useful to engineers who need to use such data.’ Richard Wakeman, Chemistry and Industry
