Stormy development of electronic computation techniques (computer systems and software), observed during the last decades, has made possible automation of data processing in many important human activity areas, such as science, technology, economics and labor organization. In a broadly understood technology area, this development led to separation...
Nonaqueous solutions are equally indispensable to electrochemistry. Here, Kosuke Izutsu brilliantly illustrates the numerous aspects of this fascinating topic, whether the focus be on physicochemical processes or analytical methods.
The author discusses solvation and solvent effects emphasizing dynamic aspects, important...

Mixing as a discipline has evolved from foundations that were laid in the 1950s, culminating in the publication of works by Uhl and Gray (1966) and Nagata (1975). Over the last 30 years, many engineering design principles have been developed, and design of mixing equipment for a desired process objective has become possible. This handbook is a...
The focus of this book is the consideration of environmental issues in engineering process and product design. It presents a selection of 30 papers ensuing from the 12th CIRP International seminar on Life Cycle Engineering, held at the university of Grenoble, France, in April 2005.
Sustainable development is more and more at the core of...
This series of books provides coverage of all of the major analytical techniques and their application in the most important areas of physical, life and materials science. Each text is presented in an open learning/distance learning style, in which the learning objectives are clearly identified. The reader's understanding of the material is...
In this age of globalization, process improvement practitioners must be able to comprehend and work with the different standards and frameworks used around the world. While many systems and software engineering organizations rely on a single standard as the primary driver of process improvement efforts (CMMI®-based process improvement in the...
This volume contains the lecture notes of the Third JETSET School on Jets from Young Stars focussing on Numerical MHD and Instabilities. The introductory lectures presented here cover the basic concepts of the numerical methods for the integration of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic equations and of the applications of these methods to the...
