Part 1 deals with single-medium transfer, specifically with intraphase transfers in single-phase flows and with intramedium transfers in two-phase flows. Part 2 deals with fluid-solid transfer processes, both in cases where the interface is small and in cases where it is large, as well as liquid-liquid transfer processes.

This text aims to provide practising engineers and researchers with the tools needed to deal with heat transfer in the porous media encountered in geological, environmental, petrochemical and other industrial processes. Tabular and graphic presentations of the results help to connect the fundamental governing and constitutive equations to practical applications. This edition has been corrected and revised, and contains a chapter on computations for two-phase flow.
