Governing equations for transport phenomena

From Thermal-FluidsPedia

Transport phenomena, which represent transports of momentum, heat and mass, include fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer. The discussions of governing equations in the links below can be applied to Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer, thermal-fluids aspects of Combustion, as well as Multiphase Systems.
