Synopsis

This textbook provides a clear and complete description of diffusion in fluids, the spontaneous mixing of different states that is fundamental in chemical engineering, chemistry and biology. Earlier textbooks on diffusion have given the subject a reputation for being difficult and have appealed most to students with a background in engineering and mathematics. Dr Cussler's informal style will appeal to all students. He includes numerous simple examples and some numerical exercises that emphasize and apply basic concepts in great detail. The book assumes no prior knowledge of other phenomena and will be a valuable introduction for students of chemistry and biology as well as engineering.

Revue de presse

'Very effective in leading the reader from one level of sophistication to the next ... a wide variety of examples is presented from areas such as bioengineering, food science, and electrochemistry, in addition to traditional areas of chemical engineering ... In summary, this is an outstanding example of a text written by an expert in the field.' Journal of the American Chemical Society

'... will amply serve the needs of chemical engineers (at graduate level as well as undergraduate levels) and also chemists, biologists, life scientists and others with little prior backround in engineering or mathematics ... Overall I am very impressed with the lucid style, clarity of presentation, quality of the illustrative examples and the large number of very interesting problems.' Canadian Chemical News

'Up to date, self-contained ... a very enjoyable book for beginners.' American Scientist

'Written in a refreshing style ... the emphasis of the book is on the applications of diffusion equations.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
