Irreversible Thermodynamics
Irreversible thermodynamics is an extension of classical thermodynamics which provides a unified method of examining transport processes and, in particular, cases where simultaneous transport processes need to be studied together. These are common in various fields such as electrochemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry and biophysics, metallurgy and geology. In this book, the basic equations of irreversible thermodynamics are derived simply, using a minimum of mathematics firstly for very simple systems, and by example extended into more complex cases. The second part of the book then utilizes this theoretical background to discuss the applications in different fields. Important proble...
Introduction to Liquid State Physics
This important book provides an introduction to the liquid state. A qualitative description of liquid properties is first given, followed by detailed chapters on thermodynamics, liquid structure in relation to interaction forces and transport properties such as diffusion and viscosity. Treatment of complex fluids such as anisotropic liquid crystals and polymers, and of technically important topics such as non-Newtonian and turbulent flows, is included. Surface properties and characteristics of the liquid-vapour critical point are also discussed. While the book focuses on classical liquids, the final chapter deals with quantal fluids.
Energy Optimization in Process Systems
Despite the vast research on energy optimization and process integration, there has to date been no synthesis linking these together. This book fills the gap, presenting optimization and integration in energy and process engineering. The content is based on the current literature and includes novel approaches developed by the authors. Various thermal and chemical systems (heat and mass exchangers, thermal and water networks, energy converters, recovery units, solar collectors, and separators) are considered. Thermodynamics, kinetics and economics are used to formulate and solve problems with constraints on process rates, equipment size, environmental parameters, and costs. Comprehensive cove...
Defects and Diffusion Ceramics Abstracts
This eighth volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective VII (Volumes 242-244) and the end of June 2006 (journal availability permitting).
Time for Land Value Tax?
There is a growing consensus that property taxation needs reform . . . Land Value Taxation could help in the reforms of Council Tax, local government finance, planning and housebuilding, as well as promoting macroeconomic stability. Introducing any changes will require long-term planning, detailed economic and distributional analysis - and, above all, political courage. But, with vision and patience, a consensus is possible. Now is the time to seek it.Time for Land Value Tax? brings together leading economists and political theorists to explore the case for and against land value taxation.
Geotechnical Research for Land Protection and Development
This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of geotechnical engineering, as presented by leading researchers and engineers at the 7th Italian National Congress of Geotechnical Researchers (CNRIG 2019), entitled “Geotechnical Research for the Protection and Development of the Territory” (Lecco, Italy, July 3-5, 2019). The congress is intended to promote exchanges on the role of geotechnical research and its findings regarding the protection against natural hazards, design criteria for structures and infrastructures, and the definition of sustainable development strategies. The contributions cover a diverse range of topics, including infrastructural challenges, underground space utilization, and sustainable construction in problematic soils and situations, as well as geo-environmental aspects such as landfills, environmental and energy geotechnics, geotechnical monitoring, and risk assessment and mitigation. Selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process, they will spur novel research directions and foster future multidisciplinary collaborations.
Irreversible Thermodynamics
Irreversible thermodynamics is an extension of classical thermodynamics to give a unified method of treating transport processes. This book develops the theoretical basis and relates it to reality by examples. These theories are then applied to solve some important problems within varied fields of science and technology. To facilitate understanding, the basic equations are derived in a simple manner, using a minimum of mathematics.
