In this updated fifth edition of Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, the main objective was to reorganize the text into a new format that resembles contemporary transport phenomena and separations texts. Due to this overhaul, the total number of chapters has been increased from 14 to 33. Our hope is that the readability and the usage of the text have been improved for student learning. In addition, we have created numerous new homework problems, which can be found on our companion website (www.pearsonglobaleditions.com). Due to the prior widespread adoption of previous editions of the text, we made small changes to the content of the fifth edition of the text so that many more readers could adapt to the new format. Since chemical and other engineering students must study many different topics today, we have provided a more unified introduction to the transport processes of momentum, heat, and mass transfer, and to the application of separation processes. In this text, the principles of transport processes are covered first, and then the separation processes (unit operations) are covered later. To accomplish this, the text is divided into two major parts.
