There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. I had Cussler as my Fluids professor. While it wasn't diffusion, the textbook is written in Cussler's language - when you read it, it's like you're hearing the man give you a drawn out lecture. There's a few Minnesota references Go Gophers! The textbook starts out with the fundamentals of diffusion - the small scale stuff. After you've struggled with diffusion coefficients, it gets into mass transfer and a lot of weird mass transfer scenarios. The end of the book is applications of mass transfer - distillation's the main one.

There are tons of end of the chapter problems that are very abstract and can be really difficult to solve. There are some examples in the chapters, but they really don't help you solve the problems.

If you can figure out Cussler's puzzles, this is the book you want to learn diffusion from. If not, Google the problems and someone else solved them for you. One person found this helpful. Many of the problems I've solved from the back of the chapters for my Mass Transfer and Separations course have been vague, and some even lacked critical information needed to solve the problem. I have found no need continue reading the chapters as this text is a bit dry and verbose.

While some of the examples placed in the chapter are useful, many lack full derivations so the equations are difficult to follow. I was fortunate to grasp the mathematics required to wrestle through those two tomes, but always had difficulty putting the bigger picture together for applications. The Cussler text opened my eyes, and made me fall in love with the subject.

It is now the only transport text I reference regularly, and it is the first place I stop when I want to relearn an old subject. I was an advanced student when I read it, but highly recommend it to anybody wishing to strengthen their understanding of the subject. I would jump at the opportunity to teach from it at an intermediate level, though.

Unfortunatley in all transport books Mass Transfer gets short-shrifted by Heat Transfer, with the author saying "oh, Mass Transfer is just like Heat Transfer, just change the variables". This book finally stops that non-sense. Well-written, stand alone reference. Professor Cussler teaches chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota. His research, which centers on membrane separations, has led to over papers and four books.

Diffusion is a key part of the undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum and at the core of understanding chemical purification and reaction engineering. This spontaneous mixing process Cambridge University Press Bolero Ozon.
