Description: The net movement or diffusion of atoms and heat transport (and their interactions) in solids and liquids must surely represent the most basic processes in all of Materials Science and Engineering. This diffusion directly affects the very fabrication and properties of materials. Research of atoms and heat diffusion will continue to provide ways in discovering new materials, their properties, and determining how long they would last in service. Research in this area has been extremely popular in the area of Materials Science and Engineering. The present volume is entitled: “Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials III” and follows directly on from the previous volume in 2021. This volume again covers atoms and heat diffusion from the atomistic scale up to the macro-scale and represents a cross-section of the wide range of topics in this area.

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.
