Experience during and after World War II showed the need for more powerful approaches to the solution of engineering problems. Among these was the unified description of heat, mass, and momentum transfer, referred to as "transport phenomena." The development of this new engineering discipline took place almost simultaneously in many parts of the world. Wisconsin contributions, emphasized in this chapter, took place in the context of a strong engineering science program initiated by Professor O. A. Hougen. This chapter begins with a survey of the role of transport phenomena in chemical engineering. The histories of the basic equations, and of engineering education in transport phenomena, are then reviewed. Finally, some predictions and suggestions are made regarding future directions of activity in this field.
