Overview

This second edition, first published by John Wiley & Sons in 1988, retains the author's original intention. It teaches the basic aspects of diffusion phenomena, as well as the methods of solution, through physical examples. The emphasis is on modelling and methodology. This book seeks to bridge the gap between physico-chemical statements of certain kinetic processes and their reduction to diffusion problems. It should also constitute a consistent introduction to diffusion phenomena, whatever their origin or further application.

Reviews

The new edition has been revised extensively; it contains new exercises, three new appendices, and a new chapter entitled 'Surface Rate Limitations and Segregation' . . . this is a highly readable, excellent introduction to diffusion processes and the diffusion equation. It would be useful as a text for an upper division undergraduate course or graduate course in modeling, or in a special topics course on diffusion itself. Siam Review, 44:3 (2003)
