The book that makes transport in porous media accessible tostudents and researchers alike
Porous Media Transport Phenomena covers the general theoriesbehind flow and transport in porous media--a solid permeated bya network of pores filled with fluid--which encompasses rocks,biological tissues, ceramics, and much more. Designed for use ingraduate courses in various disciplines involving fluids in porousmaterials, and as a reference for practitioners in the field, thetext includes exercises and practical applications while avoidingthe complex math found in other books, allowing the reader to focuson the central elements of the topic.
Covering general porous media applications, including theeffects of temperature and particle migration, and placing anemphasis on energy resource development, the book provides anoverview of mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations, andtheir applications in engineered and natural porous media forgeneral applications. Offering a multidisciplinary approach totransport in porous media, material is presented in a uniformformat with consistent SI units.
An indispensable resource on an extremely wide and varied topicdrawn from numerous engineering fields, Porous Media TransportPhenomena includes a solutions manual for all exercises found inthe book, additional questions for study purposes, and PowerPointslides that follow the order of the text.
