This title clarifies the research, development, and design requirements in modern and computational terms needed for sustainable technological advances. It is written for the combustion scientist/engineer to understand radiative effects on the pollution of the environment. It interrelates the process of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer and turbulence, and includes computational design tools. It also lays the foundation for the modelling and prediction of chemically reacting combustion systems; collects data for the operation of combustion devices; and analyses the construction, use, and numerical results of combustion systems simulation.

This book presents methods developed for engineering solutions to the multiple problems in heat and mass transfer and electrical discharge in heterogeneous and multiphase media of different structure and different conditions. The transport phenomena in chemical phase transitions are presented in a manner applicable to the chemical, mining, metallurgical, energy generation, and other widely used technological fields.

Heat Transfer in Dispersions (Series in Thermal & Fluid Physics & Engineering)

The twenty-seventh volume of the Thermophysics series is devoted to investigating heat transfer, hydrodynamics and flow mixing in gas-cooled fuel rod assemblies in longitudinal flow with a marked change in geometric characteristics of the cells along the assembly radius.The book presents data of the experimental and theoretical study of local heat transfer and hydrodynamics in assemblies of smooth and rough rods, spaced using honeycomb spacer grids. Alongside assemblies with spacer grids, consideration was given to assemblies with a wire winding.Extensive experimental data made it possible to develop a number of universal calculating procedures and programmes for the analytical cell-by-cell calculation of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in assemblies in longitudinal flow, the calculation of shear stresses at the wetted surfaces of assemblies, and the determination of local resistances of honeycomb spacer grids. The integrated numerical and experimental study of thermohydraulic characteristics provided an explanation of some specific features of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in such complex systems.The information obtained will improve the reliability of operation of various modern gas-cooled heat-transfer devices and will be useful in developing fuel assemblies of new nuclear reactors with various coolants.The monograph incorporates the results of experimental investigations, conducted by the author together with Dr. I. Kolesnikov and Dr. A. Salauskas.

Heat Transfer and Hydrodynamics in Gas-Cooled Fuel Rod Assemblies (Thermophysics)

<p>This book is written for bioengineers who wish to learn more about fractional calculus (integration and differentiation of arbitrary order) and the ways in which it can be used to solve biomedical problems. The text covers a wide range of topics (bioelectrodes, biomaterials, neural networks, etc.) that will also be of interest to other scientists and engineers. Examples and exercises show that with only a small change in notation and perspective, fractional calculus extends many of the modelling capabilities of conventional calculus and integer order differential equations. Combining an engineer's approach to fractional calculus, largely through using the Laplace transform, with examples taken from a variety of biomedical applications, this book will help new students learn to use the techniques of fractional calculus.</p>

Fractional Calculus in Bioengineering

Richard L. Magin

The editors have carried out a major project published here to select and specify a range of hot cases for interface tracking methods. The cases range from single individual bubble behaviour to more complex cases such as cavitation. The cases will be of enormous help to all specialists using advanced computational methods to classify and validate multiphase flows. The practical significance of each case is explained.

Validation of Advanced Computational Methods for Multiphase Flow (Series in Thermal & Fluid Physics & Engineering)

Dr. Didier Jamet and Dr. Olivier Lebaigue Dr. Herve Lemonnier

This book presents an investigative account of Mathematical Principles of Heat Transfer. It is concerned with three aspects of heat transfer analysis: theoretical development of conservation equations, analytical and numerical techniques of the solution, and the physical processes involved in the three basic modes of heat transfer, namely conduction, convection, and radiation. A concept of mathematical modeling is developed through the use of differential equations. In doing so, the well-posed boundary value problems are constructed and the solutions are attempted

Quality, Sustainability and Indicators of Energy Systems

K. N. Shukla

Optimization of the use of energy is of fundamental importance, particularly in view of the increasing tensions the world now faces between energy supply and demand. Chemical processes in general, and distillation processes in particular, account for a significant fraction of the world's energy usage. For example, distillation processes account for around 3% of the energy utilization in the US. There is thus a significant incentive to design systems so that energy utilization is minimized.Much progress has been made by the application of simple methods such as pinch technology (see for instance B. Linnhoff and R. Smith, Heat Exchanger Design Handbook, Begell House), but the problems encountered in complex distillation systems are such that a much higher level approach is needed. Authors Michael Georgiadis and Efstratios Pistikopoulos are from the Centre for Process Systems Engineering (CPSE) at Imperial College. CPSE is an international leader in the areas of process simulation, optimization and control. The application of techniques of the type described in this volume will make an important contribution to making the best use of mankind's increasingly scarce energy resources.
