The Vast Universe of Transport Phenomena

The intention of this blog is to have an open and broad discussion about topics related to transport phenomena, everything that is related to: momentum transfer, heat transfer and mass transfer. I believe that the best way to start this open discussion is by reviewing and commenting my collection of the solutions to all problems in the “Transport Phenomena” book published by Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot. In particular the first edition, since my collection was started by mid 1990’s.

Chapter 9 - Problem 9.E1

Free or natural convection...

Chapter 9 - Problem 9.D1

Again, another typo, the electric resistivity is wrong...

Chapter 9 - Problem 9.C1

We could use this problem as a basis to design lubricants.

Chapter 9 - Problem 9.B1

The heat loss reported in the book is 10 time bigger, I believe this is a typo.

Chapter 9 - Problem 9.A1

A typical heat transfer problem....

Chapter 8 - Problem 8.F2

Molecular diameters!, nice way to measure them!.

Chapter 8 - Problem 8.E2

Thermal conductivity of pure liquids. Beware of the weird energy units, ergs, only physicists and chemists use them.
