Engineering in Process Metallurgy by Roderick I. L. Guthrie Pdf
This volume introduces basic mechanisms of heat, mass, and fluid flow, and shows the origin of associated transport coefficients: diffusivity, conductivity, and viscosity. The discussions are supplemented with metallurgical examples and exercises. Empirical techniques for modelling and process design are presented, followed by numerical techniques and computer programs needed for "ground-up" quantitative descriptions of typical metallurgical processes. A generous appendix provides a wealth of detail on the thermodynamic and physical properties of substances commonly encountered by metallurgists, while a short section on metallurgical thermodynamics illustrates the way these tabulations should be used. A key text for engineers, scientists, and students, this book offers a unique look at the rich variety of phenomena that govern the behavior and kinetics of metallurgical processing operations.
