This book arose out of a need that frequently faced us, namely coming up with problems to use as homework in our classes and to use for quizzes. We have found that many otherwise excellent textbooks in transport phenomena are deficient in providing challenging but basic problems that teach the students to apply transport principles and learn the crucial engineering skill of problem solving. A related challenge is to find such problems that are relevant to biomedical engineering students.
The problems included here arise from roughly the last 20–30 years of our collective teaching experiences. Several of our problems have an ancestry in a basic set of fluid mechanics problems first written by Ascher Shapiro at MIT and later extended by Ain Sonin, also at MIT. Roger Kamm at MIT also generously donated some of his problems that are particularly relevant to biomedical transport phenomena. Thanks are due to Zdravka Cankova and Nirajan Rajkarnikar, who helped with proof-reading of the text and provided solutions for many of the problems.
