Diffusion Foundations and Materials Applications

Description: From pioneering materials to innovative technologies, each chapter of this special edition explores the achievements and possibilities within specialised areas of engineering science. The presented research results and engineering solutions will be useful to a wide range of specialists involved in materials science, chemical technologies, machinery and environmental engineering.

Description: This special edition presents research results in three important spheres of materials science: membranes and membrane technologies, functional materials, and composites; it can serve as a valuable informative resource for researchers and engineers.

Description: The presented special edition is dedicated to analysing properties and processing technologies for modern structural materials such as nanocomposites, steel and alloy. The edition will be helpful to a wide range of specialists in materials for various spheres of their application.

Description: The articles of this special edition refer to various branches of modern engineering sciences. Still, they are united by one thing - the underlying principles of their research are diffusion phenomena and heat and mass transfer processes. The special edition will be helpful to researchers and engineers from many branches of modern production and engineering science.

Description: This special edition collected research articles on two specialised topics - heat and mass transfer in engineering systems and 3D printing applications in biomedical practice. The presented book will be helpful not only to engineers and researchers but also to students and academic staff.

Description: This edition presents research results and analysis of the practical use of 3D technologies in various industrial branches - from mechatronics and biomedical applications to education. The next topics are analysis of the coumarin absorption spectrum with various solvents and morphological and optical study of black silicone textured by chemical etching. The presented research results will be interesting and helpful for additive and chemical technologies specialists.

Description: This volume presents research and practical use of 3D technologies in various industrial branches - from water treatment to biomedical applications. Special polymer material and a thermoplastic composite reinforced with natural fibers are analysed for usability in 3D printing. Some examples of the practical application of X-ray tomography for testing structure and quality additive manufactured elements are included in this volume also. The presented research results will be helpful for specialists from many areas of modern production.

Description: The purpose of this volume, entitled “Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Separation and Transport Processes”, is to provide recent research trends, results of developments, and engineering solutions in the field of mass separation and mass transport processes, energy transmission and dissipation, namely the advanced numerical simulation of heat transport and fluid flow in porous materials.

Description:

The purpose of this Diffusion Foundations volume is to collect a cross-section of contemporary information about real and computational experiments for mass transport in solid and liquid phases. The authors were selected to provide a rigorous description of their chosen research areas. The main aim of the volume is, therefore, to be useful as a type of guide to both contemporary computational and experimental techniques. Another aim of the volume is to demonstrate that computational experiments can be useful for the design and interpretation of real experiments. We draw special attention to the opening chapter from Prof. Helmut Mehrer and Prof. Graeme Murch which provides a comprehensive overview of the history of solid state diffusion.
