Teaches the fundamentals of mass transport with a unique approach emphasizing engineering principles in a biomedical environment
Includes a basic review of physiology, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, mass transport, fluid mechanics and relevant mathematical methods
Teaches engineering principles and mathematical modelling useful in the broad range of problems that students will encounter in their academic programs as well as later on in their careers
Illustrates principles with examples taken from physiology and medicine or with design problems involving biomedical devices
Stresses the simplification of problem formulations based on key geometric and functional features that permit practical analyses of biomedical applications
Offers a web site of homework problems associated with each chapter and solutions available to instructors
Homework problems related to each chapter are available from a supplementary website (). These problems provide practice in basic computations, model development, and simulations using analytical and numerical methods.
