This textbook covers basic governing and constitutive equations, and presents several engineering problems and solutions on multiphase flow and transport not addressed by current advanced texts or handbooks. The treatment is appropriate for senior-year undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical, chemical, biomedical, and related fields of engineering and applied science, as well as practitioners working in the area of multiphase transport phenomena. The presented concepts are reinforced with end-of-chapter problems and exercises.The book emphasizes sound formulation of the basic equations describing multiphase transport and how they can be used to design processes in specific industrially important fields. For example, it teaches readers how to design fluidized-bed reactors and slurry bubble columns for the production of chemicals such as polyethylene, liquids from synthetic gas conversion and shale-derived gas. Part Iof the book addresses multiphase flow basic equations, advances in multiphase kinetic theory and phenomena associated with gas-solids, gas-liquid, and gas-liquid-solid flows and computational transport phenomena. Part II demonstrates the application of the multiphase approach to design CO capture, synthetic gas conversion to liquid fuels, polymerization, solar-grade silicon and silane production reactors. Finally, hemodynamics (Blood Flow), volcanic eruptions, and pharmaceutical processes are discussed in detail, demonstrating cohesively and constructively how the innovative application of multiphase transport equations produce novel and unique applications.weiterlesen
