  Diffusion: Mass Transfer in Fluid Systems brings unsurpassed, engaging clarity
  to a complex topic. Diffusion is a key part of the undergraduate chemical
  engineering curriculum and at the core of understanding chemical purification
  and reaction engineering. This spontaneous mixing process is central to our
  daily lives, important in phenomena as diverse as the dispersal of pollutants
  to digestion in the small intestine. For students, this new edition goes to
  the basics of mass transfer and diffusion, illustrating the theory with worked
  examples and stimulating discussion questions. For professional scientists and
  engineers, it explores emerging topics and explains where new challenges are
  expected. Retaining its trademark enthusiastic style, the book’s broad
  coverage now extends to biology and medicine.
