Suitable for graduate students and engineers working with membranes, polymerization, and absorptions, this book presents diffusion and mass transfer from both engineering and fundamental science perspectives. It includes detailed derivations of theory and thorough solutions of example problems. The text introduces a number of new research results and updates derivations of previous research results. Topics covered include boundary conditions, constitutive equations, polymer-penetrant systems, mathematical apparatus, mass transfer moving boundary problems, dispersion and chromatography, and viscoelastic diffusion.
