This book is aimed to address a need, which has existed for decades, for a text with basic governing and constitutive equations followed by several engineering problems on multiphase flow and transport that are not provided in current advanced texts, monographs, and handbooks. The unique emphasis of this book is on the sound formulation of the basic equations describing multiphase transport and how they can be used to design processes in selected industrially important fields. The clear underlying mathematical and physical bases of the interdisciplinary description of multiphase flow and transport are the main themes. The multiphase kinetic theory approach in developing constitutive equations for fluid/solid flow systems has advanced significantly during the last decade, including the flow of mixtures of particles. This book also addresses the advances in the kinetic theory for particle flow systems. This book may be used as a senior-year elective or graduate-level textbook; by professionals in the design of processes that deal with a variety of multiphase processes in the chemical, energy, bioengineering, and pharmaceutical industries; by practitioners and experts in multiphase science in the area of CFD at U.S. national laboratories, international universities, research laboratories and institutions, and in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries This book addresses multiphase flow basic equations; the advances in multiphase kinetic theory; phenomena associated with gas/solid and gas/liquid flows; and computational transport phenomena. In addition, this book demonstrates the unique application of the multiphase approach to the design of several chemical, energy, biological, pharmaceutical, and environmental related processes. These topics are not merely "case studies." They demonstrate cohesively and constructively how the innovative application of multiphase transport equations produces a novel and unique approach for design and scale-up of these processes.Even though many books on multiphase flow have been written, none of them clearly shows how the basic multiphase equations can be used in the design of multiphase processes. The authors represent a combination of nearly two centuries of experience and innovative application of multiphase transport representing hundreds of publications and several books. This book serves to encapsulate the essence of their wisdom and insight.
