Transfer Phenomena in Fluid and Heat Flows

Edited by: Antonio Ferreira Miguel, Luiz Alberto Oliveira Rocha and Prof. Andreas Öchsner

Online since: January 2017

Description: This special topic volume of Defect and Diffusion Forum covers in a wider sense diffusion related phenomena. One of the most important challenges of modern society is the efficient, secure and sustainable generation and conversion of energy. This topics spans from the application of classical fossil fuels (e.g. oil and coal based) to natural gas and more alternative approaches which are based on bio fuels, solar energy and wave energy conversion. In the same way important are the connected topics of reusing waste thermal energy as well as the opposite need of cooling. A further topic which requires a similar skill set and which is covered in this topical volume is related to the manufacturing (e.g. furnaces), modification (e.g. heat treatment) and processing (thermal cutting) of materials.
