SynopsisA textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students who have had some exposure to biology though the fundamentals are reviewed but no previous experience with mass and momentum transport or chemical kinetics. It integrates biological and engineering concepts to develop transport equations, an, For one-semester, advanced undergraduate/graduate courses in Biotransport Engineering. Presenting engineering fundamentals and biological applications in a unified way, this text provides students with the skills necessary to develop and critically analyze models of biological transport and reaction processes. It covers topics in fluid mechanics, mass transport, and biochemical interactions, with engineering concepts motivated by specific biological problems.
