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.

Passivation of Metals and Semiconductors

Edited by: K.E. Heusler

Online since: March 1995

Description: This comprehensive volume covers practically all aspects concerning the passivity of metallic and semiconductor materials. Recent advances resulting from new materials in new environments, from metals and insulating films in multilayer structures, and from the chemical side of semiconductor technology are presented.

Reactive Phase Formation at Interfaces and Diffusion Processes

Edited by: Y. Limoge and J.L. Bocquet

Online since: May 1994

Description: In a majority of cases, the various processes which give rise to matter transport lead to the formation of new interfaces and to the concommitant development of new phases on either side of these newly created interfaces. The latter play a particularly important role, in the sense that the reactions that produce the new phases take place there.
