The special issue on "Computational Analysis of Heat Transfer in Fluids and Solids" of the journal "Defect and Diffusion Forum" addresses various novel nonlinear models and computational techniques important for tackling the heat transfer phenomenon in fluids and solids. Numeric…
Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 9th International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids Mass Transfer - Heat Transfer - Microstructure & Properties - Nanodiffusion and Nanostructured Materials (DSL-2013), June 24 - 28, 2013, Madrid, Spain. The goal …
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).This topical volume on Advanced Diffusion Processes and Phenomena addresses diffusion in a wider sense of not only mass diffusion but also heat diffusion in fluids and solids. Both diffusion phenomena play an important role in the c…
The microporous aluminosilicate minerals known as Zeolites are invaluable as adsorbents, molecular sieves and catalysts because they possess a porous structure that can let pass or accommodate cations such as, Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, Na+, etc. These are nevertheless loosely held and can…
Carbon nanotubes are one of the newest materials to be discovered, being barely 20 years old. They are also the most promising one, with one particular sample of multi-walled nanotube attaining a tensile strength of 63GPa, and with carbon nanotubes in general having a specific s…
As in the case of Defect and Diffusion Forum, Volume 352, the present volume comprises a compilation of Arrhenius equations which conveniently summarise a huge body of experimental results on diffusion in a wide variety of non-metallic host/diffusant systems. This collection wil…
The simple, empirical, surprisingly accurate and venerable Arrhenius equation, based upon the work of Van't Hoff, is very useful for summarising large bodies of experimentally determined diffusion data for a given host/diffusant system. It is the first port of call for any resea…
The word luminescence was first used by a German physicist, Eilhardt Wiedemann, in 1888. He also classified luminescence into six kinds according to the method of excitation. No better basis of classification is available today. He recognized photoluminescence, thermoluminescenc…
