“Scaling Analysis in Modeling Transport and Reaction Processes” by William Krantz is a comprehensive guide to the use of scaling analysis in various fields of physics and engineering. The author aims to introduce the topic to a wide audience, making it accessible to readers with no prior knowledge of the subject.
The book is divided into four chapters covering fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer and combined transport, as well as an integrating chapter that considers combined transport. Each chapter contains several problems, solutions and worked examples, as well as many practice problems for readers to solve.
Scaling analysis is recognized as a valuable pedagogical tool for teaching transport processes and as an important research tool for model development and experiment design. This makes the book not only a textbook but also a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field.

Описание книги от William Krantz B.
This book is unique as the first effort to expound on the subject of systematic scaling analysis. Not written for a specific discipline, the book targets any reader interested in transport phenomena and reaction processes. The book is logically divided into chapters on the use of systematic scaling analysis in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, and reaction processes. An integrating chapter is included that considers more complex problems involving combined transport phenomena. Each chapter includes several problems that are explained in considerable detail. These are followed by several worked examples for which the general outline for the scaling is given. Each chapter also includes many practice problems. This book is based on recognizing the value of systematic scaling analysis as a pedagogical method for teaching transport and reaction processes and as a research tool for developing and solving models and in designing experiments. Thus, the book can serve as both a textbook and a reference book.
