History of thought on molecular origins of surface phenomena offers a critical and detailed examination and assessment of modern theories, focusing on statistical mechanics and application of results in mean-field approximation to model systems. Emphasis on liquid-gas surface, w…
"This useful reference/text offers a thorough treatment of applied surface dynamics in relation to contact angles and surface tensions - providing a rigorous foundation for the subject and detailed presentations of the latest techniques."--BOOK JACKET. "Rooting discussions in th…
This book is part of a set of books which offers advanced students successive characterization tool phases, the study of all types of phase (liquid, gas and solid, pure or multi-component), process engineering, chemical and electrochemical equilibria, and the properties of surfa…
Existing microfluidic devices transport fluids by a variety of physical means. Among them, pump-based and capillary-based fluid delivery systems are commonly adapted to move fluids. The pump-based systems intrinsically require sub systems consisting of mechanical and/or electric…
