Newman Lectures on Transport Phenomena
«
"These lecture notes are invaluable and belong in the hands of teachers and researchers of transport phenomena. Prof. Newman presents the material in a clear and coherent manner that will offer insights and new perspectives even for experienced practitioners. The classic solutions for laminar and turbulent flow are described concisely and are always well referenced to the original work. Though often thought of as a mature field, the remaining challenges and discrepancies are identified."
—Prof. Tom Fuller, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
"This treatise distinguishes itself from other treatments of this subject in two ways. First, it provides extensive breadth and depth to key topics in transport phenomena. Second, it focuses on how to formulate general equation systems and how to solve several important problems using various mathematical methods. In this context, the treatment is complemented by The Newman Lectures on Mathematics. In addition, The Newman Lectures on Thermodynamics provides a foundation for understanding the thermodynamics of irreversible processes, which are central to formulating transport equations. The historical underpinnings add a welcome texture to the exposition."

Prof. Newman is considered one of the great chemical engineers of his time. His reputation derives from his mastery of all phases of the subject matter, his clarity of thought, and his ability to reduce complex problems to their essential core elements. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, Washington, DC, USA, and has won numerous national awards including every award offered by the Electrochemical Society, USA. His motto, as known by his colleagues, is "do it right the first time." He has been teaching undergraduate and graduate core subject courses at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), USA, since joining the faculty in 1966. His method is to write out, in long form, everything he expects to convey to his class on a subject on any given day. He has maintained and updated his lecture notes from notepad to computer throughout his career. This book is an exact reproduction of those notes.
This book demonstrates how to solve the classic problems of fluid mechanics, starting with the Navier-Stokes equation. It explains when it is appropriate to simplify a problem by neglecting certain terms through proper dimensional analysis. It covers concepts such as microscopic interpretation of fluxes, multicomponent diffusion, entropy production, nonnewtonian fluids, natural convection, turbulent flow, and hydrodynamic stability. It amply arms any serious problem solver with the tools to address any problem.
