Isbn: 9783540432319 - thermal nonequilibrium phenomena in fluid mixtures (lecture notes in physics, 584, band 584) (3 Ergebnisse)

Gebunden. Zustand: Gut. Gebraucht - Gut Zustand: Gut, XVII, 470 pp. About this book Thermodiffusion describes the coupling between a temperature gradient and a resulting mass flux. Traditionally, the focus has been on simple fluids, and it is now extending to more complex systems such as electrolytes, polymers, colloidal dispersions and magnetic fluids. This book widens the scope even further by including applications in ionic solids. Written as a set of tutorial reviews, it will be useful to experts, nonspecialist researchers and postgraduate students alike. Written for researchers, graduate students.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In September 2000, the University of Bayreuth, Germany, hosted the Fourth International Meeting on Thermodi usion (IMT4). TheIMTconferenceswerebornfromtheideaofbringingtogetherresearchers in the eld of thermodi usion. Under the auspices of the European Group of Research in Thermodi usion(EGRT)theconferenceseriesstartedin1994with IMT1 in Toulouse and has been continued every other year with IMT2 (Pau, 1996), IMT3 (Mons, 1998), and IMT4 (Bayreuth, 2000). The next conference, IMT5, will be held in 2002 in Lyngby, Denmark. Thermodi usion,alsocalledthermaldi usionortheLudwig-Sorete ect,- scribes the coupling between a temperature gradient and a resulting mass ux. Although the e ect was already discovered in the 19th century by Ludwig and Soret, it has gained growing interest during the last years due to improved - perimentaltechniqueslikestate-of-the-artthermogravitationalcolumns,modern opticalmethods, owchannels,andmicrogravityexperiments,tomentiononlya few. We are still far from a detailed microscopic picture, but analytical theories have been improved and the availability of fast computers and e cient al- rithmsfornonequilibriummoleculardynamicssimulationshasprovidedvaluable input from the theoretical side. TheIMTconferencescoverallaspectsofthermodi usionfromfundamentals to new applications. Traditionally, the focus has been on the uid state, ra- ing from mixtures of simple liquids to more complex systems such as critical mixtures, electrolytes, polymers, colloidal dispersions, or magnetic uids. IMT4 tried to widen the scope by including a plenary lecture about thermodi usion in ionic solids. Scienti c input comes from diverse disciplines such as physics, chemistry, engineering, and geophysics. Sadly, Leo Kempers passed away while this book was being prepared.
