In this book, the authors provide advances in scientific findings and technologies, and develop new theoretical models concerning mass transfer. This book brings valuable references for research engineers working in the variety of mass transfer sciences and related fields in mechanical, energy, environmental, materials, bio, and chemical engineering. Since the constitutive topics cover the advances in broad research areas, the topics will be mutually stimulus and informative not only to research engineers, but also to university professors and students in different areas.
Our knowledge of mass transfer processes has been extended and applied to various fields of science and engineering including industrial processes in recent years. Since mass transfer is primordial phenomenon, it plays a key role in the scientific researches and fields of mechanical, energy, environmental, materials, bio, and chemical engineering.
In this book, energetic authors especially provide advances in scientific findings and technologies, and develop new theoretical models concerning mass transfer for sustainable energy and environment.
