Cool Thermodynamics: Engineering and Physics of Predictive, Diagnostic and Optimization Methods for Cooling Systems

Cambridge University Press, 2000

This book is geared toward those interested in the engineering and physics of airconditioning and refrigeration devices (chillers). Analytic thermodynamic models are developed for a wide variety of cooling systems and a broad range of operating conditions. These models are easily implemented in the field or laboratory. Although the authors...

Nanostructured Polymer Blends, Volume 1 (Micro and Nano Technologies)

John Wiley & Sons, 2014

Over 30% of commercial polymers are blends or alloys or one kind or another. Nanostructured blends offer the scientist or plastics engineer a new range of possibilities with characteristics including thermodynamic stablility; the potential to improve material transparency, creep and solvent resistance; the potential to simultaneously increase...

Frontiers of Evolutionary Computation

Springer, 2004

This book is a collection of essays, authored by eminent scholars in evolutionary computation (EC), artificial intelligence (AI), operations research, complexity theory and mathematics.

Thermodynamics of Natural Systems

Cambridge University Press, 2005

'This is an excellent text of use to earth science senior undergraduates and graduates that need to develop a thorough understanding of thermodynamics.’?Geoscientist

Thermodynamics deals with energy levels and the transfer of energy between states of matter, and is therefore fundamental to all branches of science. This new...

Transport Phenomena for Chemical Reactor Design

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

The first complete, combined study of these two vital disciplines

Laurence Belfiore’s unique treatment meshes two mainstream subject areas in chemical engineering: transport phenomena and chemical reactor design. Expressly intended as an extension of Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot’s classic Transport Phenomena, and Froment...

Molecular Thermodynamics of Complex Systems (Structure and Bonding)

Springer, 2008

With the development of science and technology,more and more complex materials such as porous materials, ion liquid, liquid crystals, thin films and colloids etc. are being developed in laboratories. However, it is difficult to prepare these advanced materials and use them on a large scale without some experience. Therefore, molecular...

Beyond Equilibrium Thermodynamics

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

A comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of nonequilibrium thermodynamics

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has emerged as a promising new field of study dealing with irreversible processes in matter, and is fundamental to understanding these systems on a wide range of length scales, including the micro- or...

Advanced Thermodynamics for Engineers

Butterworth-Heinemann, 1996

Particularly strong on worked examples.,Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers,

Although the basic theories of thermodynamics are adequately covered by a number of existing texts, there is little literature that addresses more advanced topics. In this comprehensive work the author redresses this balance, drawing on his...

Giant Planets of Our Solar System: Atmospheres, Composition, and Structure (Springer Praxis Books / Astronomy and Planetary Sciences)

Springer, 2009

"Irwin […] has done an outstanding job of presenting material geared to upper-division undergraduates and beginning graduate students." (J.R. Kraus (University of Denver), Choice Feb. 2004)

This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The...

Phase Transformations: Examples from Titanium and Zirconium Alloys (Pergamon Materials Series)

Elsevier Limited, 2005

Covers phase transformations and phase reactions with examples from titanium and zirconium based systems

The terms phase transitions and phase transformations are often used in an interchangeable manner in the metallurgical literature.

In this book, transformations driven by pressure changes,...

Steam Generators: Description and Design

Springer, 2008

The contents of this book originates from 35 years of teaching Steam Generators to graduate students at the Politecnico of Milan, Italy and from 45 years of professional activity in this area. This book has been written for practising designers, users, and engineers of steam generators in order to guide them through practical problems and help...
