Críticas:

."..an excellent text, which should serve several levels of audience and each of them well...an outstanding example of a text written by an expert in the field, who cares as much about teaching the topic as he does about generating the research upon which recent progress in understanding mass transfer is based." Journal of the American Chemical Society "[Cussler] discusses the chemistry and physics underlying a given separations unit operation and shows how a differential equation results. Then, he presents the trick for integrating that differential equation, provides the resulting function, and then writes about the physics behind the result. In fact, the physical and chemical discussions reminds one of Einstein's greatest papers: rich physical discussion bolstered by relatively simple mathematics...Cussler's style is direct, opinionated, and undoubtedly the best technical writing I've read." Chemical Engineering Progress ."..I am very impressed with the lucid style, clarity of presentation, quality of the illustrative examples and the large number of very interesting problems appended at the end...I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in diffusion in fluid systems." Canadian Chemical News

Reseña del editor:

This textbook provides a clear and complete description of diffusion in fluids, the spontaneous mixing of different states that is fundamental in chemical engineering, chemistry and biology. Earlier textbooks on diffusion have given the subject a reputation for being difficult and have appealed most to students with a background in engineering and mathematics. Dr Cussler's informal style will appeal to all students. He includes numerous simple examples and some numerical exercises that emphasize and apply basic concepts in great detail. The book assumes no prior knowledge of other phenomena and will be a valuable introduction for students of chemistry and biology as well as engineering.
