The practice of transport phenomena has traditionally been confined to Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical, and bipolar cylindrical. For just the equations of continuity and motion, Dijksman added toroidal coordinates. Our recent work expanded the geometries available for solving transport problems to include eccentric cylindrical. However, this short list of available coordinate systems cannot describe many geometries encountered in transport phenomena. Here, we address this restriction on available geometries for transport phenomena by adding bispherical coordinates to the growing list of coordinate systems for which the equations of change have been developed. Bispherical coordinates allow us to solve transport problems between eccentric spheres or horns, which spherical coordinates cannot handle. We thus develop the equations of change for this coordinate system and provide three worked examples showing how to get new exact solutions to momentum, heat, and mass transfer problems.The practice of transport phenomena has traditionally been confined to Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical, and bipolar cylindrical.
