Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. An interview on catalysis. 2. A few words about industrial catalysis. 3. Rate of reaction. 4. Energy barrier. 5. The law of conservation of disorder. 6. Overcoming the energy barrier. 7. What next? 8. Model reactions. 9. The smile of Mona Lisa. 10. Acid catalysis. 11. 'Tender Points' of molecules. 12. The least. What is it? 13. Homogeneous catalysis. 14. Heterogeneous catalysis. 15. Reaction medium acts like a catalyst. 16. Catalysis in biology. 17. Catalysis in the realm of elementary particles. In this popular narrative we have attempted to unveil some 'secrets' of catalytic reactions and to provide illustrations which are more closely related to our own field of research. We have placed special emphasis on the kinetic principles of catalysis. In the discussion of catalysis we considered it necessary to give the reader the basic principles of the theory of chemical catalysis and gave examples of catalysis in biology and in industry. It was not our aim to discuss all aspects of catalysis in chemistry and biology and in this respect this book is far from being comprehensive.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: 1. Definition of plasma. 2. Motion of electrons and ions in plasma in the absence of external fields. 3. Plasma behaviour in electric fields. 4. Plasma behaviour in magnetic field. 5. The effect of the magnetic field on characteristics of the plasma. 6. Results derived from magneto hydrodynamic equations. 7. Development of experimental target. 8. Conditions for existence of a plasma ring. 9. The theory of stability. 10. Plasma behaviour in traps with magnetic mirrors. 11. Stability of plasma configurations. 12. Shear stabilization. 13. Other plasma instabilities. The book presents the fundamental information on the high-temperature plasma physics. These, at present largely well established results, comprise, in effect, the sum of knowledge indispensable for any physicist with a wide enough sphere of interests. However, the structure of the high temperature physics has just been outlined and is still being developed. A major contribution to this field of modern physics has been made by the Department of Plasma Physics, headed by L. Artsimovich, which is a part of the I. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. L. Artsimovich headed the research work with the tokamak type installations, adiabatic traps, rapid pinches and other machines designed for harnessing the high-temperature fusion reaction. He was directly involved in actual work in a number of these research projects and in development of the correct conceptual system and understanding of the plasma phenomena.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: 1. Basic laser principles. 2. Types of lasers. 3. Control of the laser output. 4. Applications of lasers. First lasers made in 1960 paved the way for the vehement development of laser technology. Today, lasers and laser systems find wide use in many fields of science and engineering. They are employed in communications systems, computers, navigation equipment, measuring instruments, and in complicated technological processes. Biology, medicine, and various chemical and physical investigations utilize lasers to advantage. Wide use of lasers in science and technology is due to the specific properties of laser radiation. The laser is a generator of coherent light. Unlike other sources of light, such as incandescent lamps or arc lamps, the laser produces radiation with a highly regular light field, outstanding in its high coherence, monochromaticity and directivity.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Phase EquilibriaThe Phase Rule. 2. One-Component Systems. 3. Two Component Systems. 4. Solutions. 5. Three Component Systems (C=3), Solved Problems. Index. The book covers the fundamental concepts of phases, phase diagrams and their applications. It will help the students to overcome the fear of phase rule. Stress is on understanding of concepts and not on memorization of text. The phase rule is a generalization given by Willard Gibbs (1874), which seeks to explain the equilibria existing in a heterogeneous system. It may be stated as: "provided the equilibrium between any number of phases is not influenced by gravity, or electrical, or magnetic forces or by surface action and only by temperature, pressure and concentration, then the number of degrees of freedom of the system is related to number of components and of phases by the phase rule equation for any system at equilibrium at a definite temperature and pressure. A phase is a form of matter that is homogeneous in chemical composition and physical state. Typical phases are solid, liquid and gas. Two immiscible liquids separated by a distinct boundary are counted as two different phases, as are two immiscible solids. The number of components is the number of chemically independent constituents of the system. The number of degrees of freedom in this context is the number of intensive variables which are independent of each other. The book has descriptive passages and diagrams (cooling curves) that help students gain a solid foundation in the subject. This text will help them learn phase rule faster. Since question style has changed over the years, the book includes latest university questions are solved at the end of the book. It also contains numerous phase diagrams.

Transport Number / Transference Number. 13. Adsorption. 14. Colloids. 15. Transition Temperature. 16. Polarimetry. 17. Refractometry. 18. X-ray Diffraction. The book has been written to provide assistance to the undergraduate students of various Universities. This book deals with the basic properties of liquids like viscosity and surface tension in a manner to make it easily understandable along with the application of these. Studies on kinetics with emphasis on first order and second order kinetics has been covered explicitly. Thermochemistry is an important area which has been covered giving experimental details and their calculations. These include heat capacity, heat of neutralisation, heat of ionisation, heat of solution, heat of hydration to mention a few. The theory of the experiment has been explained to provide detailed understanding of the subject. Experiments dealing with adsorption properties, colloids and molar mass measurement have described in detail. Another area which has been covered are experiments related to phase rule, nernst distribution law, critical solution temperature and determination of transition temperature. Various techniques which are in use include the application of conductivity meter, potentiometer, pH meter, colorimeter, polarimeter and refractometer. Description of techniques and the instrumental details and steps involved in their use have been well covered under physical chemistry. The book is very comprehensive covering all aspects from calculations for preparation of reagents to observations and writing of results. "Practicals made easy" is the slogan of the book. Efforts have been put in to simplify each step to help in solving difficulties generally faced during experimentation. This would thus provide in depth understanding to the students with the habit of scientific reasoning.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. This book deals with a variety of problems in Physics and Engineering where the large deviation principle of probability finds application. Large deviations is a branch of probability theory dealing with approximate computation of the probabilities of rare events. It contains applications of the LDP to pattern recognition problems like analysis of the performance of the EM algorithm for optimal parameter estimation in the presence of weak noise, analysis and control of non-Abelian gauge fields in the presence of noise, and quantum gravity wherein we are concerned with perturbation to the quadratic component of the Einstein-Hilbert Hamiltonian caused by higher order nonlinear terms in the position fields and their effect on the Gibbs statistics and consequently quantum probabilities of events computed using the quantum Gibbs state. The reader will also find in this book applications of LDP to quantum filtering theory as developed by Belavkin based on the celebrated Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic calculus.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. The evolution of the space and time as concepts. The main steps towards. 2. A review of the basic results of modern relativity theory. 3. Modern problems in the theory of gravitation. The prospects for the study of space and 'I'ime. There is a wide variety of literature on the subjects of space, time and gravitation, or on general relativity, as Einstein put it (though Einstein's terminology has recently been criticised). However, this book will still find its own place. This book will explain the basics of modern gravitation theory in very simple terms, so as to bring it home to a layman. Usually a book like this is addressed to a reader with a minimum amount of training in physics and mathematics, and the text would contain few or no formulae. It included a considerable number of formulae but, none the less, it can be said to be for the general reader. Indeed, the notions of derivative and integral have long been taught at school, and the mathematics in this book does not go much beyond this level. Hence, this book should in fact be comprehensible to a reader. Although the book is comparatively small, the authors have been quite scrupulous in bringing to the reader's attention the major points of the modern theory of gravitation and many of these points have been ingeniously presented.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. The abstract nature of mathematics. 2. Variables. 3. Methods of application. 4. Dynamics. 5. The symbolism of mathematics. 6. Generalizations of number. 7. Imaginary numbers. 8. Imaginary numbers (continued). 9. Coordinate geometry. 10. Conic sections. 11. Functions. 12. Periodicity in nature. 13. Trigonometry. 14. Series. 15. The differential calculus. 16. Geometry. The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment. The important applications of the science, the theoretical interest of its ideas, and the logical rigour of its methods, all generate the expectation of a speedy introduction to processes of interest. We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet's father, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it- 'Tis here', 'tis there', 'tis gone' and what we do see does not suggest the same excuse for illusiveness as sufficed for the ghost, that it is too noble for our gross methods. "A show of violence", if ever excusable, may surely be "offered" to the trivial results which occupy the pages of some elementary mathematical treatises.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Macrophysics. 2. Microphysics. 3. Astrophysics. All came to the decision to write this book having in mind that there was so much interesting in various areas of physics and astrophysics and yet many budding physicists and students were not aware of this and could hardly find out for themselves. So I decided to do something constructive in this way, to describe briefly some urgent problems of physics and astrophysics. The book provides a model of how non-theorists can judge what realms of theory may be illuminated by work in a new range of photon and particle energy, how new technologies may be used to good effect. The book has three sections dealing with Macrophysics, Microphysics and Astrophysics and in the end is full of references for each of the fields.

No policy could have a more sinister influence on progress or place such a final limit on the student's actual usefulness in his vocation. If any of the great discoveries or inventions which have revolutionised civilization be examined and tracked back to its source, we invariably find a man working in some apparently quite useless field of research, with no object in view other than the acquisition of knowledge. Utility never enters his head, for the stage of the work engaging his immediate attention is such that no living man is in a position to say what is "useful" and what is not. The useless of to-day may be of paramount importance to-morrow. When Volta in 1800 made his voltaic pile and obtained a feeble current of electricity, and Oersted in 1820 discovered the action of a current on a magnet; when Davy in 1821 demonstrated the power of a current to magnetise steel, and Faraday in 1831 showed that a current in one circuit could induce a current in another circuit, no one could foretell that these discoveries would lead to the production of a dynamo which, when rotated at Chelsea, could propel an electric train at Hampstead. The contemporaries of the pioneers just mentioned may have said to them: "This is all very interesting, but what is the use of it?" If they had answered: - "In less than a century these principles will enable a man in London to speak to a man in Paris," they would have been laughed at. Again, we may note that great discoveries and inventions have seldom if ever been made by one man.

Problems. Index. Linear Network Theory presents the problems and issues of Linear Network analysis and synthesis. This book is an attempt to bridge the gap between undergraduates and graduates school courses in transient analysis and network synthesis. This text is a compendium of various operational techniques for solving circuit problems from the linear system viewpoint. Emphasis is placed upon the use of operational techniques to find total solution including both transient and steady-state. The main theme of the book is solutions of linear integro-differential equations by a variety of techniques. Each technique has its own merit and the use of each depends upon the information described by system behaviour. The book has many illustrated examples most of them being related to electrical circuit problems. The book would be useful for students in electrical engineering and radio engineering helping them in extending the fundamental and theoretical knowledge.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Principles of statistical description sampling characteristics and their distributions. 2. Estimation of distribution parameters. 3. Tests of statistical hypotheses. 4. Linear regression and the least squares method. 5. Decision functions. 6. Statistics of stationary sequences. The book covers all the traditional topics in modern statistical theory and is designed for students at technical colleges and universities who have mathematical statistics as an obligatory course. Problems on computer simulation of random variables in order to obtain the data for statistical interpretation have been included. Any "theoretical" problem which contains a statistical algorithm for data analysis can be used (with the appropriate (practically infinite) choice of the model parameters) to formulate a "practical" problem. At the first stage the original data should be simulated using either published tables of random numbers or special computer programs. Then, by Interpreting these "experimental" results according to the algorithm in question, the student can compare the theoretical hypothesis with the original parameters which are known as they were used when the sample was simulated.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Historical development of ideas as to the nature of space and time. 2. The two postulates of the Einstein theory of relativity. 3. Some elementary deductions. 4. The Einstein transformation equations for space and time. 5. Kinematical applications. 6. The dynamics of a particle. 7. The dynamics of a system of particles. 8. The chaotic motion of a system of particles. 9. The principle of relativity and the principle of least action. 10. The dynamics of elastic bodies. 11. The dynamics of a thermodynamic system. 12. Electromagnetic theory. 13. Four-dimensional analysis. This book presents an introduction to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which has become a necessary part of the theoretical equipment of every physicist. Even if we regard the Einstein theory of relativity merely as a convenient tool for the prediction of electromagnetic and optical phenomena, its importance to the physicist is very great, not only because its introduction greatly simplifies the deduction of many theorems which were already familiar in the older theories based on a stationary either, but also because it leads simply and directly to correct conclusions in the case of such experiments as those of Michelson and Morley, Trouton and Noble and Kaufman and Bucherer, which can be made to agree with the idea of a stationary either only by the introduction of complicated and ad hoc assumptions.

In this book, Gibbs carefully showed how the laws of thermodynamics would arise exactly from a generic classical mechanical system, if one allowed for a certain natural uncertainty about the state of that system. The themes of thermodynamic connections to statistical mechanics had been explored in the preceding decades with Clausius, Maxwell, and Boltzmann together writing thousands of pages on this topic. One of Gibbs' aims in writing the book was to distill these results into a cohesive and simple picture (Gibbs wrote in 1892 to his colleague Lord Rayleigh, "Just now I am trying to get ready for publication something on thermodynamics from the priori point of view, or rather on 'statistical mechanics'. I do not know that I shall have anything particularly new in substance, but shall be contented if I can so choose my standpoint (as seems to me possible) as to get a simpler view of the subject."). He had been working on this topic for some time, at least as early as 1884 when he produced a paper (now lost except for its abstract) on the topic of statistical mechanics. Gibbs' book simplified statistical mechanics into a treatise of 207 pages. At the same time, Gibbs fully generalized and expanded statistical mechanics into the form in which it is known today. Gibbs showed how statistical mechanics could be used even to extend thermodynamics beyond classical thermodynamics, to systems of any number of degrees of freedom (including microscopic systems) and non-extensive systems. At the time of the book's writing, the prevailing understanding of nature was purely in classical terms as quantum mechanics had not yet been conceived; even basic facts taken for granted today (such as the existence of atoms) were still contested among scientists. Gibbs was careful in assuming the least about the nature of physical systems under study, and as a result the principles of statistical mechanics laid down by Gibbs have retained their accuracy (with some changes in detail but not in theme), in spite of the major upheavals of modern physics during the early 20th and 21st Century.
