Introductory Transport Phenomena

R. Byron Bird is a chemical engineer and professor emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is known for his research in transport phenomena of non-Newtonian fluids, including fluid dynamics of polymers, polymer kinetic theory, and rheology.Warren E. Stewart is the author of Introductory Transport Phenomena, published by Wiley.

"Introductory Transport Phenomena is one of the most complete books on the subject, including sections on the topics of momentum, mass and energy transport. It’s unusual to find a book that so deeply covers all three subjects as this one."—May 2015 TCE Book Review, José Carlos Magalhães Pires, postdoctoral researcher, University of Porto
