Biological and Bioenvironmental Heat and Mass Transfer (Food Science and Technology)

Providing a solid foundation in, and systematic treatment of, heat and mass transport, Biological and Bioenvironmental Heat and Mass Transfer covers engineering principles of heat and mass transfer. The author discusses biological content, context, and parameter regimes and supplies practical applications for biological and biomedical engineering, industrial food processing, environmental control, and waste management. The book contains end-of-chapter problems, sections highlighting key concepts and important terminology, cross-references for easy access to key concepts and formulas, detailed examples of transport phenomena, and descriptions of physical processes . It covers mechanisms of diffusion, capillarity, convection, and dispersion.
