The third edition of this book was prepared to assist instructors in transport processes who are making partial use of SI units in their classes. Although some favor a sharp break with past systems of engineering units, we think there are good reasons why students should be educated using both the traditional engineering units and SI units. The quantities pounds, mass, and feet are embedded in our culture and will probably remain so for some time to come. It is sufficiently defficult for most students to learn the mathematical formulation of proclems in engineering without adding to their burdens by expressing results entirely in unfamiliar units. It is likely that all engineering freshmen have seen a pressure gauge and that they will have some concept of the magnitude of a pound-force and a square inch. Few if any will have seen a gauge reading in pascals, and it is not likely that many will for sometime to come. We think it is important for engineering students to be expected to get numerical answers to their problems as soon as possible when starting the study of transport processes so they can begin to acquire the habit of critically evaluating their answers. This is best done if the answers are expressed in units that have some meaning to them.
