Microporous Mediaby Freddy Romm
Marcel Dekker Inc 2004; US$ 199.95
Romm (management, Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa) offers information ranging from the general to very specific about microporosity, for specialists in interface science and porosity, and for graduate students and scientists with a strong background in natural sciences. He begins each chapter with a brief overview of well known facts and conc more...
The Thermophysics of Porous Mediaby T.J.T. Spanos
CRC Press 2001; US$ 119.95
This discussion of dynamic processes involving porous media starts at a scale where the basic physical theory is clearly understood, and proceeds up in scale for very simple physical systems. Along the way, Spanos (physics, University of Alberta) develops a thermodynamic lattice gas model of fluid flow, uses a Helmoltz decomposition of the equation more...
Computer Modelling of Microporous Materialsby C.R.A. Catlow; Berend Smit; R.A. van Santen
Elsevier 2004; US$ 215.00
Microporous materials, including both zeolites and aluminophosphates are amongst the most fascinating classes of materials, with wide ranging important applications in catalysis, gas separation and ion exchange. The breadth of the field has, moreover, been extended in the last ten years by the discovery of the versatile and exciting ranges of mesoporous materials. Computational methods have a long and successful history of application in solid state and materials science, where they are indeed established tools in modelling structural and dynamic properties of the bulk and surfaces of solids; and where they are playing an increasingly important role in understanding reactivity. Their application to zeolite science developed strongly in the... more...
Methods of the Physics of Porous Mediaby Po-Zen Wong; Thomas Lucatorto; Marc De Graef
Elsevier 1999; US$ 215.00
Over the past 25 years, the field of VUV physics has undergone significant developments as new powerful spectroscopic tools, VUV lasers, and optical components have become available. This volume is aimed at experimentalists who are in need of choosing the best type of modern instrumentation in this applied field. In particular, it contains a detailed chapter on laboratory sources. This volume provides an up-to-date description of state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, and a broad reference bibliography. It treats phenomena from the standpoint of an experimental physicist, whereby such topics as imaging techniques (NMR, X-ray, ultrasonic, etc.) computer modeling, eletro-kinetic phenomena, diffusion, non-linear wave propagation surface adsorption/desorption,... more...
Flow and Transport in Fractured Porous Mediaby Peter Dietrich; Rainer Helmig; Martin Sauter
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 209.00
This book addresses the characterization of flow and transport in porous fractured media from experimental and modeling perspectives. The volume explores porous media problems, from the origin of the present natural porous structures, to their characterization, and various flow and transport phenomena that exist within the porous media. Examples are miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock and the physical and chemical interactions within porous fractured aquifers. The book is a comprehensive presentation of investigations performed and analyzed on different scales, supporting the understanding and application of experimental studies and numerical simulations. more...
Stochastic Dynamicsby Don Kulasiri; Wynand Verwoerd
Elsevier 2002; US$ 114.00
Most of the natural and biological phenomena such as solute transport in porous media exhibit variability which can not be modeled by using deterministic approaches. There is evidence in natural phenomena to suggest that some of the observations can not be explained by using the models which give deterministic solutions. Stochastic processes have a rich repository of objects which can be used to express the randomness inherent in the system and the evolution of the system over time. The attractiveness of the stochastic differential equations (SDE) and stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) come from the fact that we can integrate the variability of the system along with the scientific knowledge pertaining to the system. One of the... more...
Stability and Wave Motion in Porous Mediaby Brian Straughan
Springer 2008; US$ 79.95
This book describes several tractable theories for fluid flow in porous media. The important mathematical quations about structural stability and spatial decay are address. Thermal convection and stability of other flows in porous media are covered. A chapter is devoted to the problem of stability of flow in a fluid overlying a porous layer. Nonlinear wave motion in porous media is analysed. In particular, waves in an elastic body with voids are investigated while acoustic waves in porous media are also analysed in some detail. A chapter is enclosed on efficient numerical methods for solving eigenvalue problems which occur in stability problems for flows in porous media. Brian Straughan is a professor at the Department of Mathemactical Sciences... more...
Transport Phenomena in Porous Mediaby Yasuaki Ichikawa; A.P.S. Selvadurai
Springer 2012; US$ 179.00
This monograph presents an integrated perspective of the wide range of phenomena and processes applicable to the study of transport of species in porous materials. In order to formulate the entire range of porous media and their uses, this book gives the basics of continuum mechanics, thermodynamics, seepage and consolidation and diffusion, including multiscale homogenization methods. The particular structure of the book has been chosen because it is essential to be aware of the true properties of porous materials particularly in terms of nano, micro and macro mechanisms. This book is of pedagogical and practical importance to the fields covered by civil, environmental, nuclear and petroleum engineering and also in chemical physics and geophysics... more...
Transport Processes in Porous Mediaby Frank A. Coutelieris; J.M.P.Q. Delgado
Springer 2012; US$ 129.00
The subject of this book is to study the porous media and the transport processes occur there. As a first step, the authors discuss several techniques for artificial representation of porous. Afterwards, they describe the single and multi phase flows in simplistic and complex porous structures in terms of macroscopic and microscopic equations as well as of their analytical and numerical solutions. Furthermore, macroscopic quantities such as permeability are introduced and reviewed. The book also discusses with mass transport processes in the porous media which are further strengthen by experimental validation and specific technological applications. This book makes use of state-of-the-art techniques for the modeling of transport processes in... more...
