Dealing with the prediction of thermodynamic and transport properties of gases and liquids, this text presents several methods which are capable of practical application. It begins with basic scientific principles and formal results, which are then developed into practical metho…
This book is concerned with the prediction of thermodynamic and transport properties of gases and liquids. The prediction of such properties is essential for the solution of many problems encountered in chemical and process engineering as well as in other areas of science and te…
Evaluating traditional and recent analytical methods according to speed, sensitivity, and cost-efficiency, this reference supports specialists in the selection of effective analytical techniques and equipment for the study of soils, soil contaminants, and environmental samples--…
This is the first introductory text in the rapidly growing field of granular gases. In contrast to molecular gases (for example, air), the particles of granular gases, such as a cloud of dust, lose part of their kinetic energy when they collide, giving rise to many exciting phys…
Diffusion and growth phenomena abound in the real world surrounding us. Some examples are growth of the world's population, growth rates of humans, public interest in news events, growth and decline of central city populations, pollution of rivers, adoption of agricultural innov…
This unique reference discusses the physics and physical processes of foams and foaming - delineating various state-of-the-art measurement techniques for characterizing foams and foam properties as well as the chemistry and application of foams. Furnishing over 1225 citations to…
Numerical methods are indispensable tools in the analysis of complex fluid flows. This book focuses on computational techniques for high-speed gas flows, especially gas flows containing shocks and other steep gradients. The book decomposes complicated numerical methods into simp…
