The term transport phenomena is used to describe processes in which mass, momentum, energy and entropy move about in matter. Advances in Transport Phenomena provide state-of-the-art expositions of major advances by theoretical, numerical and experimental studies from a molecular, microscopic, mesoscopic, macroscopic or megascopic point of view across the spectrum of transport phenomena, from scientific enquiries to practical applications. The annual review series intends to fill the information gap between regularly published journals and university-level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than in journals. The authoritative articles, contributed by internationally-leading scientists and practitioners, establish the state of the art, disseminate the latest research discoveries, serve as a central source of reference for fundamentals and applications of transport phenomena, and provide potential textbooks to senior undergraduate and graduate students.

Additional text
From the reviews:
“The book is arranged in four stand-alone review papers covering the current topics of heat convection, nonequilibrium transport, microfluidics and multiscale modelling of particles. … this is a very interesting and competent book. The book should be of great value to researchers seeking an exhaustive overview of the recent advances in the multidisciplinary domains of transport phenomena. The presentation is also accessible to senior undergraduate and graduate level students … as well as to specialists in several branches of geophysics.” (Andrzej Icha, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 169, 2012)
