This text is a brief introduction to fundamental concepts of transport p- nomena within a ?uid, namely momentum, heat and mass transfer. The - phasis of the text is placed upon a basic, systematic approach from the ?uid mechanics point of view, in conjunction with a uni?ed treatment of transport phenomena. In order to make the book useful for students, there are numerous - amples. Each chapter presents a collection of proposed problems, whose so- tions can be found in the Problem Solutions Appendix. Also the Self Eva- ation chapter gathers exercises from exams, so readers and students can test their understanding of the subject. Most of the content can be taught in a course of 45 hours and has been employed in the course Transport Phenomena in Chemical Engineering at the Centro Polit´ ecnico Superior of the University of Zaragoza. The text is aimedatbeginnersinthesubjectoftransportphenomenaand?uidmechanics, emphasizing the foundations of the subject. Thetextisdividedintofourparts:Fundamentals,ConservationPrinciples, DimensionalAnalysis;TheoryandApplications,andTransportPhenomenaat Interfaces. In the ?rst part, Fundamentals, basic notions on the subject are int- duced: de?nition of a ?uid, preliminary hypothesis for its mathematical tre- ment, elementary kinematics, ?uid forces, especially the concept of pressure, and ?uid statics. In the Conservation Principles part, the conservation equations that g- ern transport phenomena are presented and explained, both in integral and di?erentialform.Emphasisisplacedonpracticalapplicationsofintegraleq- tions. Also, constitutive equations for transport by di?usion are contained in this part.
