This text gives an integrated treatment of the three areas of transport momentum, heat, and mass. Through a unified approach, it emphasizes the commonality of transport phenomena while introducing relevant applications. It covers turbulence, agitation, non-Newtonian fluids, prediction of transport properties, fluidization, and computer solution.

Summary: Excellent undergradate transport text
Rating: 4

I was introduced to this text as a supplemental source of information for a Transport Phenomena course with the Bird, et al text as the primary textbook. Although the Bird text is still the forerunner in this subject in my opinion, it can be a difficult text in the undergraduate setting. I found the Brodkey and Hershey text to be packed with valuable explanations and graphs that complement the Bird text. I do believe this text would be very good in the role as a primary undergraduate transport text, but I expect to see the use of the Bird text continue because of its quality and longevity in the field. Personally, I still refer to the Brodkey and Hershey text first, before I delve back into the harder to read Bird text.
