Theory of Solidificationby Stephen H. Davis; G. K. Batchelor; S. Davis; L. B. Freud; S. Leibovich; V. Tvergaard
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 148.00This book presents in a systematic way the field of continuum solidification theory based on instability phenomena. An understanding of the physics is developed by using examples of increasing complexity with the object of creating a deep physical insight applicable to more complex problems. Applied mathematicians, engineers, physicists, and materials scientists will all find this volume of interest. more...
The Corresponding-States Principle and its Practiceby Hong Wei Xiang
Elsevier 2005; US$ 195.00The corresponding-states principle helps the understanding and calculating of thermodynamic, transport, and surface properties of substances in various states, required by our modern lifestyle. The Corresponding-States Principle and its Practice: Thermodynamic, Transport and Surface Properties of Fluids describes the origins and applications of the principle from a universal point of view with comparisons to experimental data where possible. It uses the universal theory to explain present theories. Emphasis is on the properties of pure systems, and the corresponding-states theory can also be extended to mixtures, which are treated as pure systems. Furthermore, the author discusses current progress, and shows technicians how to derive practical... more...
Etudes On Theoretical Physicsby L M Barkovsky; I D Feranchuk; Ya M Shnir
World Scientific 2004; US$ 133.00This volume presents the results of many decades of research carried out by the Department of Theoretical Physics of the Belarusian State University, one of former USSR?s prominent universities, providing a ?snapshot? of the research activities of the department. With contributions form leading researchers who graduated from the department and now working in well known research centers around the world, this collection of works consists of selected mini-reviews of a wide variety of research topics on modern theoretical physics. It includes information on the methods and applications used in the various different research topics. This volume will be useful for advanced graduate students and doctorates who specialize in theoretical physics as... more...
Explosive Boiling of Superheated Cryogenic Liquidsby Vladimir G. Baidakov
Wiley-VCH 2007; US$ 255.00The monograph is devoted to the description of the kinetics of spontaneous boiling of superheated liquefied gases and their solutions. Experimental results are given on the temperature of accessible superheating, the limits of tensile strength of liquids due to processes of cavitation and the rates of nucleation of classical and quantum liquids. The kinetics of evolution of the gas phase is studied in detail for solutions of cryogenic liquids and gas-saturated fluids. The properties of the critical clusters (bubbles of critical sizes) of the newly evolving gas phase are analyzed for initial states near the equilibrium coexistence curves of liquid and gas, for states near the limits of accessible superheating and for initial states near the... more...
An Indispensable Truthby Francis F. Chen
Springer 2011; US$ 49.95Recent books have raised the public consciousness about the dangers of global warming and climate change. This book is intended to convey the message that there is a solution. The solution is the rapid development of hydrogen fusion energy. This energy source is inexhaustible and, although achieving fusion energy is difficult, the progress made in the past two decades has been remarkable. The physics issues are now understood well enough that serious engineering can begin. This book starts with a summary of climate change and energy sources, trying to give a concise, clear, impartial picture of the facts, separate from conjecture and sensationalism. Controlled fusion - the difficult problems and ingenious solutions - is then explained using... more...
Solidsby Lisa Greathouse
Shell Education 2010; US$ 8.99What do this book, a table, and your big toe have in common? They are all solids! A solid keeps its shape and always has the same volume. Read this book to learn about solids and how they are different from liquids and gases. 32 pages more...
Fusionby James A. Mahaffey
Infobase Publishing 2012; US$ 45.00As energy problems of the world grow, work toward fusion power continues at a greater pace than ever before. The topic of fusion is one that is often met with the most recognition and interest in the nuclear power arena. Written in clear and jargon-free prose, Fusion explores the big bang of creation to the blackout death of worn-out stars. A brief history of fusion research, beginning with the first tentative theories in the early 20th century, is also discussed, as well as the race for fusion power. This brand-new, full-color resource examines the various programs currently being funded or planned as well as the reality of fusion power and the magnitude of the challenge for future scientists and engineers. more...
