Books by Keyword: Diffusion

Description: The present volume attempts to capture some of this excitement by providing a cross-section of contemporary research in mass transfer and thermal processes in the modern engineering materials and technologies. The volume spans both experiment and modelling and covers both basic research and applied research. Topics covered are broad, covering heat exchange in porous media to the drying of sisal fibre, from the role of nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery to the atomistic of grain boundary diffusion and segregation.

Description: This volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Dr. Nicolaas Augustinus Stolwijk whose works were related with study of a wide spectrum of diffusion processes in metals, intermetallic compounds, semiconductors, solar grade silicon, polymer electrolytes and in minerals.

Description: Modern Engineering and Physics very often deal with the need for the design of natural or induced phenomena and processes and this is especially true in the problems involving heat transfer or fluid flows, often on the basis of a Thermodynamic viewpoint or of the Constructal Law. These broad areas of research are presented in this special issue of the journal "Defect and Diffusion Forum".

Description: This volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Dr. Nicolaas Augustinus Stolwijk whose works were related to the study of a wide spectrum of diffusion processes in metals, intermetallic compounds, semiconductors, solar grade silicon, polymer electrolytes and in minerals.

Description: Diffusion is an omnipresent, but the important phenomenon in a wide variety of disciplines and applications in physical, chemical, biological, geologic, materials science and engineering processes. While diffusion-controlled phase transformations involve in a variety of materials processes, ranging from solidification to different solid-state transformations. Modeling of diffusion and diffusion-controlled phase transformations in alloys has been of long-standing fundamental interests because advance modeling can help to improve the understanding of complex materials processes. Moreover, as the recent boost in Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) and Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) projects, additional emphasis on the necessity and urgency of the quantitative modeling of diffusion and diffusion-controlled phase transformations in alloys has been laying, which can provide useful information for accelerating the novel alloys design. Consequently, the purpose of this book, entitled "Modeling of Diffusion and Diffusion-Controlled Phase Transformations in Alloys" is to provide a collection of the commonly used computational approaches for modeling diffusion and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, as well as their current status, recent developments, future trends and applications in different alloys.

Description: The wide practical use of the diffusion barrier phenomenon in the various areas of science and modern engineering is impossible without the studying of all aspects of their creation, functioning and degradation. The present monograph covers a specific and important aspect of the diffusion barriers damaging process - the deleterious effect of atomic-scale defects in the structure of diffusion barriers.

Description: This collection includes research results reflecting the solution on the main task of material science - research of the structure of materials. The presented articles devoted to the study of the structure of the materials at the nanoscale using real experiment and computer modeling. We hope this collection will be useful and interesting for many researchers and engineers from the area of the modern materials science.

Description: This is special topic volume “Recent Trends in Mass Transport in Solids and Liquids” focuses on the mass transport in its broadest sense spanning the atomic scale right up to the macro scale. There is also a special focus on real engineering applications of mass transport.

Description: The general intention of this volume is to give the readers a wide overview of physical problems connected with the processes controlled by atomic migration and of the methods of their modelling. The collection is addressed to researchers and graduate students working in the field of diffusion and diffusion-controlled processes in condensed matter.

Description: In this special issue explore the various applied aspects of heat and mass transfer phenomena in structural materials, different engineering structures and technological processes. We hope that this collection will be useful for wide range of scientists and engineers from many branches of engineering sciences.
