Description
This text on process engineering in metallurgy, introduces the basic mechanisms of heat, mass and fluid flow, and shows the origin of associated transport coefficients (diffusivity, conductivity, and viscosity). Chapters dealing with fluid flow, heat and mass diffusion, and heat and mass convective flows then follow by way of a series of metallurgical examples and exercises. Empirical techniques for modelling and for process design are presented, followed by numerical techniques and computer programs needed for "ground-up" quantitive descriptions of typical metallurgical processes. An appendix provides detail on the thermodynamic and physical properties of substances commonly encountered by metallurgists, while a short section on metallurgical thermodynamics illustrates the way these tabulations are intended to be used.

Description
A rich variety of phenomena governs the behaviour and kinetics of metallurgical processing operations. Unusually high operating temperatures, intense radiation, viscous slags, dense metals, etc., make the design and operation of metallurgical processes unique.
This book introduces the basic mechanisms of heat, mass, and fluid flow, and then follows a series of metallurgical examples and exercises. Empirical techniques for modelling and for process design are presented along with numerical techniques and computer programs. This new paperback edition has been updated, with a new section on numerical simulation of fluid flow processes added, to reflect the important contribution of computer simulation to the subject.
