Defect and Diffusion Forum

Description: The atomic and heat transport rates in solids and liquids surely represent the most basic processes in materials science and engineering because these rates affect most fabrication and properties of materials. Research in mass and thermal transport will continue to provide substantial insights into discovering new materials, their properties, and determining how long they would last in service. Research in this area has been especially popular in the area of materials science and engineering. The present special topic volume is entitled: “Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials II” and follows on from the previous volume in 2020.

Description:

The special issue entitled “Transfer Phenomena in Fluid and Heat Flows XIII” of Defect and Diffusion Forum continues a series of themed volumes and presents a collection of works associated with heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena. These topics can be understood in a wider sense as classical diffusion-related topics. The continuous need for improved machines and higher efficiencies and more detailed and accurate theoretical modeling approaches makes it necessary to showcase the latest trends on a regular basis with small intervals between the different volumes in this topical series.

Description: The book is collected from papers that were submitted by researchers from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak and their international collaborators addressing key results in the area of materials science and technologies of materials synthesis. We believe that the collected articles will be interesting and useful for many specialists in the areas of materials science, and materials processing technologies.

Description:

This volume contains papers selected from materials presented at the International Conference on Industrial Engineering (ICIE 2021, May 17-21, 2021, Sochi, Russian Federation). These articles summarised the latest research results in materials science and modern metallurgical and metalworking technologies, industrial waste recycling, surface engineering, materials and technologies in construction.

Description: Engineering Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Analysis II is a continuation of the previous volume 26 published in the journal of ‘Diffusion Foundations’. This new volume issue of the journal ‘Defect and Diffusion Forum’ discusses results of the mathematical modeling and numerical investigation phenomena of heat transfer, mechanical agitation of various flow, natural and forced convection, fluid flow in the porous media, moving of magnetohydrodynamic flow and nanofluid. These results could be widely exploited in many engineering applications in the industry.

Description: This volume of the journal “Defect and Diffusion Forum” presents a special thematical issue: “Processes of Heat and Mass Transfer in Engineering Flows”. The collection contains peer-reviewed articles covering theoretical and practical aspects of modeling and numerical investigation of the diffusive convection and magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective flows, heat transfer phenomena in the various media and engineering objects, solving other engineering problems related to heat and mass transfer phenomena.

Description: This special topic volume captures a snapshot of the last research results of mass and thermal transfer processes in materials and engineering systems currently under extensive investigation worldwide. The breadth of utilization of the mass and thermal transfer processes in engineering is reflected in the correspondingly wide range of topics covered here. Topics range from the research in atomic-scale right up to the macro scale, from basic research on properties right through to actual engineering applications, from hydrogen diffusion in a Pd-Cu alloy membrane to investigating the water-oil separation process.

Description:

This volume contains articles reflected the last results in numerical simulation of transfer phenomena in heat and fluid flow in the various technical systems and also includes descriptions of engineering decisions for the improvement of effective using renewable energy. The presented issue will be useful for a wide range of engineers and researchers from many branches of engineering science.

Description: This volume contains selected papers presented at the
17th International Symposium on Metallography, Fractography and Materials Science (April 24 – 26, 2019, Nový Smokovec, High Tatra Mountains, Slovak Republic). Collected articles focus on not only research in the field of steel, alloys, and metallic materials but also in the field of numerous modern materials and technologies - ceramics, composites, amorphous materials, special coatings, and powder metallurgy.

Description: The book publishes selected papers from the 14th International Conference 2020 "THE A COATINGS" (19th - 20th November 2020, Nuremberg, Germany). The conference was focussed on coatings and research regarding coatings in different fields. Articles describe the results of research and development deposition process technologies, new coatings, surface properties, tribology, numerical simulation and modeling as well as the application of coatings for tools and products.
