Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers (Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers presents an introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of flowing ice masses on Earth. Based on an outline of general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Special emphasis is put on...

The Physics of Superheroes

Gotham, 2005

If superheroes stepped off the comic book page or silver screen and into reality, could they actually work their wonders in a world constrained by the laws of physics? How strong would Superman have to be to “leap tall buildings in a single bound”? Could Storm of the X-Men possibly control the weather? And how many cheeseburgers would...

Engineering and Chemical Thermodynamics

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

Chemical engineers face the challenge of learning the difficult concept and application of entropy and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. By following a visual approach and offering qualitative discussions of the role of molecular interactions, Koretsky helps them understand and visualize thermodynamics. Highlighted examples show how the material...

Damage Mechanics in Metal Forming: Advanced Modeling and Numerical Simulation (Iste)

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

The aim of this book is to summarize the current most effective methods for modeling, simulating, and optimizing metal forming processes, and to present the main features of new, innovative methods currently being developed which will no doubt be the industrial tools of tomorrow. It discusses damage (or defect) prediction in virtual metal...

Discontinuous Finite Elements in Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer (Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics)

Springer, 2006

Over the past several years, significant advances have been made in developing the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for applications in fluid flow and heat transfer. Certain unique features of the method have made it attractive as an alternative for other popular methods such as finite volume and finite elements in...

Physics in Biology and Medicine, Fourth Edition (Complementary Science)

Academic Press, 2012

Physics in Biology and Medicine, Fourth Edition explores concepts in physics as they apply to living systems. The discussion is organized into 18 chapters encompassing thermodynamics, electricity, optics, sound, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Each chapter provides a brief review of the background physics...

Nanoalloys: Synthesis, Structure and Properties (Engineering Materials)

Springer, 2012

Bimetallic nanoparticles, also called nanoalloys, are at the heart of nanoscience because of their ability to tune together composition and size for specific purposes. By approaching both their physical and chemical properties, Nanoalloys: Synthesis, Structure & Properties provides a comprehensive reference to this research field...

Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics (The Open Yale Courses Series)

Yale University Press, 2014

Professor R. Shankar, a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, was among the first to offer a course through the innovative Open Yale Course program. His popular online video lectures on introductory physics have been viewed over a million times. In this concise and self-contained book based on his online Yale course,...

A Guide to Physics Problems : Part 2: Thermodynamics, Statistical Physics, and Quantum Mechanics

Springer, 1997

In order to equip hopeful graduate students with the knowledge necessary to pass the qualifying examination, the authors have assembled and solved standard and original problems from major American universities – Boston University, University of Chicago, University of Colorado at Boulder, Columbia, University of Maryland, University of...

Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

McGraw-Hill, 2005

The worldwide bestseller Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach brings further refinement to an approach that emphasizes a physical understanding of the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics. The authors offer an engineering textbook that "talks directly to tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner, that encourages...

The Physics of Interstellar Dust (Series in Astronomy and Astrophysics)

Taylor & Francis, 2002

All of the material is presented clearly and concisely.
- Tom Hartquist in A&G

It is by far the most comprehensive, detailed, and in depth work ever published on this subject. The book derives all of the relevant physics for interstellar dust from first principles. It includes all of the necessary physics of dust grains,...

Thermodynamic Cycles: Computer-Aided Design and Optimization (Chemical Industries)

CRC Press, 2003

Development in classical thermodynamics is, logically and traditionally, aimed at the analysis of cycles. Computational efforts impose harsh constraints on the kinds and amounts of cycle analyses that can reasonably be attempted. Cycle simulations cannot approach realistic complexity. Even relative sensitivity analyses based on...
