Journal of Fluids Engineering Book Reviews

DECEMBER 1982 | Frank M. White
**Advances in Transport Processes** These two volumes, edited by A. S. Mujumdar and published by Halstead Press/Wiley Eastern Limited, New Delhi, mark the beginning of a new series of review articles on fluid dynamics and transport processes. The articles cover a wide range of topics with international authorship. The books are well-printed with clear figures but use poor-quality paper, making them more affordable than comparable review series. Volume I includes five reviews on blood flow, two-phase gas non-Newtonian flow, mass transport in electrochemical systems, numerical methods for viscous flow problems, and mixing of viscous Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Volume II contains six reviews on modeling aquatic systems, non-Newtonian circular entry flows, electrohydrodynamic enhancement of convective transfer, dust removal from gas streams, multiphase flow models, and particle movement in flow fields. While the content may be somewhat dated and less general than recent advancements, the series serves its purpose of educating engineers about new fields in fluid engineering and is recommended for library acquisition. **How to Write and Publish Engineering Papers and Reports** This book, authored by H. B. Michaelson and published by ISI Press, Philadelphia, is a comprehensive guide to writing and publishing engineering papers and reports. It covers every phase of engineering communication, from selecting the right journal and audience to writing abstracts, organizing and writing, selecting and drawing illustrations, using word processing and home computers, compiling bibliographies, dealing with journal editors, rebutting critical reviewers, proofreading, and preparing and delivering oral presentations. The book is highly praised for its depth and practical insights, making it a valuable resource for all researchers and contributors to engineering journals. A softcover version is also available. **An Album of Fluid Motion** This book, edited by Milton van Dyke and published by The Parabolic Press, features 282 photographs of flow phenomena accompanied by insightful legends written by van Dyke. The photographs are categorized into eleven topics, including creeping flow, laminar flow, separation, vortices, instability, turbulence, free-surface flow, natural convection, subsonic flow, shock waves, and supersonic flow. The book is a learning experience and a pleasure to read, effectively supplementing any course or textbook in fluid mechanics. It is published by the author's own press, ensuring excellent reproduction and printing. The paperback edition is inexpensive and ideal for students, while a hardbound edition is also available.**Advances in Transport Processes** These two volumes, edited by A. S.
