Mother Nature's Two Laws, Ringmasters For Circus Earthby A D Kirwan
World Scientific 2000; US$ 44.20Every day brings a fresh barrage of bewildering claims about science and technology. How non-scientists tell the difference between the hyperbole and those developments that are important? With a modest amount of critical thinking, an understanding of how science is practiced, and a qualitative understanding of the two most sacred principles in science - the first and second laws of thermodynamics - anyone can make the distinction. Critical thinking and the practice of science are not emphasized in undergraduate science courses for non-scientists, while exposure to the first and second laws is usually reserved for physical science and engineering majors. This book introduces non-scientists to these topics and provides detailed applications... more...
Problems And Solutions On Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanicsby Y K Lim; J R Zheng
World Scientific 1990; US$ 96.20The material for these volumes has been selected from the past twenty years' examination questions for graduate students at University of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, the University of Chicago, MIT, State University of New York at Buffalo, Princeton University and University of Wisconsin. more...
Environmental Physicsby Clare Smith
Routledge 2001; US$ 51.95This book makes fundamental physical concepts intelligible to a non-scientific audience. The importance of physics is emphasised by its application to real environmental problems and the concepts are described qualitatively. more...
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...
Numerical Models For Printing And Coating Flowsby D.T. Gethin
Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2002; US$ 199.00This issue brings together a number of papers under the theme of thin film flows that are generic to printing and a wide range of coating applications. These processes require the deposition of a thin layer of fluid (or polymer) onto a substrate. The simulation of these processes presents a number of numerical challenges. more...
Selected Papers From His-01 Conference On Heating By Internal Sources, Padova, Italyby Fabrizio Dughiero; Sergio Lupi
Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2003; US$ 199.00Over the last 10 years the attention of the scientific and industrial research has been focused, with increasing interest, on the Applied MHD Technologies (Albano et al., 2000; Garnier, 2000; Li et al., 1996; Tani et al., 2000). Several applications, such as Electromagnetic Stirring, Braking and Shaping, have been studied in order to improve the steel quality (Davidson, 1994; Idogawa et al. more...
Beyond Equilibrium Thermodynamicsby Hans Christian Ošttinger
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 148.00Beyond Equilibrium Thermodynamics fills a niche in the market by providing a comprehensive introduction to a new, emerging topic in the field. The importance of non-equilibrium thermodynamics is addressed in order to fully understand how a system works, whether it is in a biological system like the brain or a system that develops plastic. In order to fully grasp the subject, the book clearly explains the physical concepts and mathematics involved, as well as presenting problems and solutions; over 200 exercises and answers are included. Engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians can all use the book to address their problems in modelling, calculating, and understanding dynamic responses of materials. more...
Thermodynamics of Natural Systemsby G. M. Anderson
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 70.00A new and greatly expanded edition of an excellent textbook specifically tailored for Earth scientists. Beginning with fundamental concepts, it gradually builds to an advanced treatment of natural systems using mathematical concepts in an intuitive way. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in geology, geochemistry, geophysics and environmental science. more...
