Since the first publication of the book, a surge of interest inphysicochemical hydrodynamics (PCH) has produced a flurry ofadvances in the field, as researchers became aware of thesubject's practical applications across numerous disciplines.The Second Edition of Ronald F. Probstein'sPhysicochemical Hydrodynamics is significantly expanded andrevised to provide increased coverage of the field. All of thematerial was supplemented with problems for students, and asolutions manual is available for instructors. The continued demandfor the book necessitates that the Second Edition be reprinted inpaperback so that it may be more widely available to students andpractitioners.
This highly respected book emphasizes rational theory and itsconsequences to demonstrate the underlying unity of PCH, whichallows diverse phenomena to be described in physically andmathematically similar ways. Physicochemical Hydrodynamicscommunicates the fundamentals while, at the same time, conveyingthe importance of applications of PCH to a variety of fields,including: mechanical, chemical, and environmental engineering;materials science, biotechnology, microfluidics, and fluid aspectsof nanotechnology. Numerous illustrations, analogies, and exampleshighlight the text and help to clarify and solidify students'and professionals' understanding of the material.
