Description: This special volume of the journal Defect and Diffusion Forum is entitled: Advances in Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials IV. It continues the general theme of how mass and heat diffusion in solids and liquids occur and how these phenomena can be controlled. We start from mass and heat migration at the microscale and carry it through to the macroscale.

Description: The 57th volume of "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" are included peer-reviewed manuscripts reflecting the research results in the fields of materials science, applied and fluid mechanics, power engineering and power management, ecology safety and agriculture, communication, road construction, building materials, and geotechnical engineering. The presented scientific articles can be appreciated by the majority of engineers, academic teachers, and students majoring in the fields of engineering science.

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:

The presented collection “Fuel Cells” consists of some selected proceedings papers published by Trans Tech Publications Inc. within the 2017 – 2019 period. It includes a wide range of engineering solutions and results from scientific research activities in the fuel cells area.

Description: This volume contains peer-reviewed papers presented at the 8th International Conference on Materials Science (ICMS 2019) held at Ulan-Ude, Russia, August 24-28, 2019 and focuses on the structures, properties, and applications of new materials as well as their characterization techniques.

Description: This volume of Diffusion Foundations is entitled Advances in Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials. The volume was designed to capture a very wide cross-section of research in the area in both experimental and modelling of mass and thermal transport and at both basic and applied levels. It is now very well recognized that the mass and thermal transport processes in engineering materials underpin much of the advance in the development of new materials and the improvement of existing materials. Whether it be the ongoing enhancement of the engineering properties of materials, the materials processing, the in-service longevity of materials or the recycling of materials, mass and thermal transport very frequently play direct and essential roles.

Description:

This book was prepared for the 20th anniversary of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, in Ostrava, Czech Republic. The main aim of the book is to present results in the area of research and application of modern building materials and structures in civil engineering. The contributions include not only material research, but they also present the application of those materials and results and consequences of their use.

Description: The topics covered in this special issue are related to the research of the phenomena of heat and mass transfer in the various areas of engineering and range from mathematics models and methods of numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in generalized technical systems to the development of technologies in food and biomass processing and creation of real technical solutions in mechanical engineering.

Description: This volume of the journal "Nano Hybrids and Composites" offers our readers a special collection of the peer-reviewed articles covering some practical aspects in the research of properties and application of the reinforced composites, nanocarbons, and also methods and results of mathematical modeling and numerical investigation of the phenomena of heat and mass transfer in the various medium. We hope that the presented volume will be useful for many specialists from the area of modern functional materials and design of mechatronics systems.
