Transport Properties of Fluids: Their Correlation, Prediction and Estimation

by Jürgen Millat (Editor), J. H. Dymond (Editor), C. A. Nieto de Castro (Editor), W. A Wakeham (Foreword by)

Overview

This book describes the most reliable methods for evaluating the transport properties of pure gases and fluid mixtures, such as viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusion. The authors place particular emphasis on recent theoretical advances in our understanding of fluid transport properties in all the different regions of temperature and pressure. In addition to the important theoretical tools, the authors cover the different methods of data representation, and they follow this with a section that demonstrates the application of selected models in a range of circumstances. They then offer case studies of transport property analysis for real fluids, and the book concludes with a discussion of various international data banks and prediction packages. Advanced students of kinetic theory, as well as engineers and scientists involved with the design of process equipment or the interpretation of measurements of fluid transport properties, will find this book indispensable.

Editorial Reviews

"Transport Properties of Fluids provides a thorough overview of current models of fluid transport properties. The volume will be especially useful to specialists in the area of property prediction and correlation." J.H. Lienhard, Applied Mechanics Review

"This is a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the best methods at present for correlation, prediction and estimation....It should find a wide range of users including both those working on the experimental determination and theoretical interpretation of transport properties and also those who need to use information on these properties in technological contexts." Alan R. Allnatt, Journal of the American Chemistry Society
