OverviewThis second edition is extensively revised from the author's successful A Primer of Diffusion Problems (Wiley, 1988), and includes new exercises, three new appendices, and a new chapter on surface rate limitation and segregation. The goal of Diffusion Phenomena remains the same, which is to teach basic aspects of and methods of solution for diffusion phenomena through physical examples. In this introductory text, the emphasisis placed on modeling and methodology that bridge the gap between physico-chemical statements of certain kinetic processes and their reduction to diffusion problems. This concise and readable, yet authoritative book will appeal to physicists, chemists, biologists, and applied mathematicians studying diffusion regardless of origin of the phenomena or application.
