DESCRIPTION:
Useful text for a complex subject I have used some chapters of this book to teach a transport phenomena course. The text is well arranged for students, with significant problems and worked-out examples. Notation is explained. The introduction chapters give an often needed review of physical chemistry. Some chapters could be rewritten for additional clarity but it is a very useful text as it is.. "Great Introduction to Biological Transport Concepts" according to A Customer. I used this book for an introductory course in Physiological Transport Phenomena. The book is great in that the author covers most of the transport processes as they apply to biological systems and provide numerous references and useful physical property data. Its nice to see how traditional transport concepts can be applied to problems for a system which everyone of us is very familiar with, namely the human body. The only criticism is that the book does not cover heat transfer and its applications to physiological systems. Luckily my professor provided handouts and supplimental material to th. Must for Chemical Engineers Biomedical Engineering requires chemical engineering principles in several areas. This book highlights on those in particular and is a must for chemical engineers who want to know what their challanges are going to be in such biomedical engineering research areas. This also is a primer for the subject, although from a chemical engineering point of view. Ideal for a Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineering course in any chemical/ environmetal engineering department.

About the Author Fournier-University of Toledo
Considerable significance is placed on developing a quantitative understanding of the underlying physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. The book is replete with examples and problems.. It contains real world applications in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and artificial organs. Therefore, many mathematical methods are developed using compartmental approaches. This text combines the basic principles and theories of transport in biological systems with fundamental bioengineering
