Primes

• Convection
  • Applied / atmospheric and environmental. Atmospheric deep convection in a thunderstorm develops when the Péclet number

    This sourceUnified continuum treatment of momentum, heat, and mass transport; defines and uses the Péclet number Pe = UL/κ as the ratio of advective to diffusive transport and develops the convection–diffusion analogies (Schmidt ~ Prandtl).

• Diffusion

  • This sourceFirst text to treat momentum, energy, and mass transport together at molecular, microscopic, and macroscopic scales; establishes the analogies among Fick's law (mass diffusion), Fourier's law (heat conduction), and Newton's law (viscous momentum transfer), with shared dimensionless groups (Sc ~ Pr). Bibliography-only; cross-link with diffusion and convection (DP-11 G4).

• Flow
  • Transport phenomena across multiple domains—momentum, heat, and mass transfer—are unified by

    This sourceThe first textbook unifying momentum (viscous flow), heat (conduction/convection), and mass (diffusion/convection) transport via analogous continuum frameworks.
