Polymer melt processing : foundations in fluid mechanics and heat transfer
Morton M. Denn (Author)
This book is on the underlying foundations of the processing of polymer melts, which can be derived from relatively straightforward ideas in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The level is that of an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course.
