This text combines the basic principles and theories of transport in biological systems with fundamental bioengineering. It contains real world applications in drug delivery systems, tissue... This description may be from another edition of this product.
It was very readable, a major plus since my professor spoke little English. Overall, it was worth the cost of the book.
Great

The book came as they said it would, and in a very timely manner. No Complaints, just respect.
Great Introduction to Biological Transport Concepts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I used this book for an introductory course in Physiological Transport Phenomena. The book is great in that the author covers most of the transport processes as they apply to biological systems and provide numerous references and useful physical property data. Its nice to see how traditional transport concepts can be applied to problems for a system which everyone of us is very familiar with, namely the human body. The only criticism is that the book does not cover heat transfer and its applications to physiological systems. Luckily my professor provided handouts and supplimental material to the lecture. One of the books he used was the fairly old text by Cooney, "Biomedical Engineering Principles: An introduction to Fluid, Heat and Mass Transport Processes". I think this book is out of print but seems to have great information contained in it as well.This book is a definite must have for any biomedical engineering student and possibly even experienced people working in the field.
Must for Chemical Engineers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Biomedical Engineering requires chemical engineering principles in several areas. This book highlights on those in particular and is a must for chemical engineers who want to know what their challanges are going to be in such biomedical engineering research areas. This also is a primer for the subject, although from a chemical engineering point of view. Ideal for a Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineering course in any chemical/ environmetal engineering department.
