Transport Phenomena by SIST

Transport Phenomena is the subject which deals with the movement of different physical quantities in any chemical or mechanical process and describes the basic principles and laws of transport. It also describes the relations and similarities among different types of transport that may occur in any system. This lecture notes explains the following : Introduction, Time derivatives in transport phenomena, Momentum transport , Newton’s Law of Viscosity, Laminar and turbulent flow, Reynolds’s experiment, Equation of Motion, Heat conduction through a composite wall, etc.
