Fluidized-Bed Reactors: Processes and Operating Conditions (Repost)

Fluidized-Bed Reactors: Processes and Operating Conditions by John G. Yates , Paola Lettieri
English | PDF (True) | 2016 | 214 Pages | ISBN : 3319395912 | 4.4 MB

The fluidized-bed reactor is the centerpiece of industrial fluidization processes. This book focuses on the design and operation of fluidized beds in many different industrial processes, emphasizing the rationale for choosing fluidized beds for each particular process. The book starts with a brief history of fluidization from its inception in the 1940’s. The authors present both the fluid dynamics of gas-solid fluidized beds and the extensive experimental studies of operating systems and they set them in the context of operating processes that use fluid-bed reactors.

Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Equilibrium Thermodynamics by Mário J. Oliveira
English | EPUB (True) | 2013 | 391 Pages | ISBN : 3642430821 | 3.2 MB

This textbook provides an exposition of equilibrium thermodynamics and its applications to several areas of physics with particular attention to phase transitions and critical phenomena. The applications include several areas of condensed matter physics and include also a chapter on thermochemistry. Phase transitions and critical phenomena are treated according to the modern development of the field, based on the ideas of universality and on the Widom scaling theory. For each topic, a mean-field or Landau theory is presented to describe qualitatively the phase transitions.

Flow Boiling of a Dilute Emulsion In Smooth and Rough Microgaps

Flow Boiling of a Dilute Emulsion In Smooth and Rough Microgaps by Brandon M. Shadakofsky , Francis A Kulacki
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 151 Pages | ISBN : 3031277724 | 26.7 MB

This book elucidates heat transfer behavior for boiling of dilute emulsions- mixtures of two immiscible fluids- which has received little attention to date. Of the work completed in this area, the majority has been focused on pool boiling where no mean flow is present, and this book is the first major work to be published regarding flow boiling of emulsions. The book includes a comprehensive review and assessment of research on emulsion-based heat transfer. Recent experiments are reported and analyzed to characterize heat transfer in microgap flow boiling via a systematic investigation into the effects of gap size, mass flux, and volume fraction on the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop.

Life - As a Matter of Fat: The Emerging Science of Lipidomics

Life - As a Matter of Fat: The Emerging Science of Lipidomics by Ole G. Mouritsen
English | PDF | 2005 | 272 Pages | ISBN : 3642421350 | 6.3 MB

LIFE - as a Matter of Fat
Lipidomics is the science of the fats called lipids. Lipids are as important for life as proteins, sugars, and genes. The present book gives a multi-disciplinary perspective on the physics of life and the particular role played by lipids and the lipid-bilayer component of cell membranes. The book is aimed at undergraduate students and young research workers within physics, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, nutrition, as well as pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. The emphasis is on the physical properties of lipid membranes seen as soft and molecularly structured interfaces. By combining and synthesizing insights obtained from a variety of recent studies, an attempt is made to clarify what membrane structure is and how it can be quantitatively described. Furthermore, it is shown how biological function mediated by membranes is controlled by lipid membrane structure and organization on length scales ranging from the size of the individual molecule, across molecular assemblies of proteins and lipid domains in the range of nanometers, to the size of whole cells. Applications of lipids in nano-technology and biomedicine are also described.

A First Example of a Lyotropic Smectic C* Analog Phase: Design, Properties and Chirality Effects

A First Example of a Lyotropic Smectic C* Analog Phase: Design, Properties and Chirality Effects

A First Example of a Lyotropic Smectic C* Analog Phase: Design, Properties and Chirality Effects by Johanna Ricarda Bruckner
English | PDF | 2016 | 130 Pages | ISBN : 3319272020 | 6.4 MB

In this thesis Johanna Bruckner reports the discovery of the lyotropic counterpart of the thermotropic SmC* phase, which has become famous as the only spontaneously polarized, ferroelectric fluid in nature. By means of polarizing optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electro-optic experiments she firmly establishes aspects of the structure of the novel lyotropic liquid crystalline phase and elucidates its fascinating properties, among them a pronounced polar electro-optic effect, analogous to the ferroelectric switching of its thermotropic counterpart. The helical ground state of the mesophase raises the fundamental question of how chiral interactions are "communicated" across layers of more or less disordered and achiral solvent molecules which are located between adjacent bi-layers of the chiral amphiphile molecules. This thesis bridges an important gap between thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals and pioneers a new field of liquid crystal research.

Anomalous Relaxation in Colloidal Systems

Anomalous Relaxation in Colloidal Systems by Avinash Kumar
English | EPUB | 2022 | 135 Pages | ISBN : 3031132793 | 9.5 MB

The thesis presents a systematic study of the Mpemba effect in a colloidal system with a micron-sized particle diffusing in a water bath. While the Mpemba effect, where a system’s thermal relaxation time is a non-monotonic function of the initial temperature, has been observed in water since Aristotle’s era, the underlying mechanism of the effect is still unknown. Recent studies indicate that the effect is not limited to water and has been studied both experimentally and numerically in a wide variety of systems.

Bottom-Up Self-Organization in Supramolecular Soft Matter: Principles and Prototypical Examples of Recent Advances by Stefan C. Müller, Jürgen Parisi
English | PDF | 2015 | 305 Pages | ISBN : 3319194097 | 17.3 MB

This book presents the general concepts of self-organized spatio-temporal ordering processes. These concepts are demonstrated via prototypical examples of recent advances in materials science. Particular emphasis is on nanoscale soft matter in physics, chemistry, biology and biomedicine. The questions addressed embrace a broad spectrum of complex nonlinear phenomena, ranging from self-assembling near the thermodynamical equilibrium to dissipative structure formation far from equilibrium. Their mutual interplay gives rise to increasing degrees of hierarchical order. Analogues are pointed out, differences characterized and efforts are made to reveal common features in the mechanistic description of those phenomena.

Acoustics of the Seabed as a Poroelastic Medium (Repost)

Acoustics of the Seabed as a Poroelastic Medium by Nicholas P. Chotiros
English | PDF | 2017 | 108 Pages | ISBN : 3319142763 | 3.5 MB

This book presents a concise description of the acoustics of ocean sediment acoustics, including the latest developments that address the discrepancies between theoretical models and experimental measurements. This work should be of interest to ocean acoustic engineers and physicists, as well as graduate students and course instructors. The seabed is neither a liquid nor a solid, but a fluid saturated porous material that obeys the wave equations of a poroelastic medium, which are significantly more complicated than the equations of either a liquid or a solid.
