Book Description
Interfacial phenomena driven by heat or mass transfer are widespread in science and various branches of engineering. Research in this area has become quite active in recent years, attributable in part, at least, to the entry of physicists and their sophisticated experimental techniques into the field. Until now, however, the field has lacked a readable account of the recent developments. Interfacial Phenomena and Convection remedies this problem by furnishing a self-contained monograph that examines a rich variety of phenomena in which interfaces pay a crucial role. From a unified perspective that embraces physical chemistry, fluid mechanics, and applied mathematics, the authors study recent developments related to the Marangoni effect, including patterned convection and instabilities, oscillatory/wavy phenomena, and turbulent phenomena. They examine Bénard layers subjected to transverse and longitudinal thermal gradients and phenomena involving surface tension gradients as the driving forces, including falling films, drops, and liquid bridges. It is only in the past two or three decades that researchers have performed suitable, clear-cut experiments involving interfacial phenomena, and the stage is now set for a virtual explosion of the field. Interfacial Phenomena and Convection will bring you quickly up to date on the advances realized and prepare you to both use the results and to make further advances.

Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics
ASIN: 0387954805 |
Book Description
This book presents a set of essays on interfacial instability, essays on such topics as jets, solidification and melting, precipitation, and electrodeposition. The book deals with the linear theory; as a result, pencil and paper suffice to work through the material. The first two essays provide the necessary background: the first is an introduction to jets; the second explains how to solve a problem in interfacial instability, where the boundary separating two phases can be displaced.||The authors approach interfacial instabilities through their physical origins. These lie in the effect of surface displacements on gradients of pressure, temperature, and composition and on whether or not a perturbed gradient reinforces the displacement causing the perturbation. Intended for graduate students, the discussions are not mathematically demanding, but they do rely on an understanding of fluid flow, heat conduction, and diffusion.||Students will find that the book deepens their understanding of problems in which deflecting surfaces are important; instructors will find in the essays useful material to enrich their lectures.||Contents:|- Domain and Surface Perturbations|- Applications to the Stefan Problems|- Jets and Bridges|- Spinning Jets|- Rayleigh-Taylor and Saffman-Taylor Problems|- Solidification and Precipitation|- Electrodeposition
Customer Reviews:
The best book in its area.......2003-06-16
It is the best book in the interfacial instability that covers many ideas and famous theories. It is good for graduate students. It contains a lot of research ideas which still of interest. I think the authors did a great job and they deserve a great respect.
One of its kind.......2003-06-08
This book is an outstanding and accurate treatise on Interfacial Instability. I have never read any scientific book concerning hydro and fluid dynamic Instability like this book. It is a great book to look at and to learn from.
A worth buy book.......2003-06-04
This book is an excellent book in interfacial instability. The problems presented are not new but they are still of great interest. The essays, i.e. the chapters, contain good explanations for some great works done by Lord Rayleigh,Chandrasekhar and others. This book is very useful for graduate students. It is worth the price.
A worthy book for the careful reader.......2003-04-15
This book is written in a skillful manner and with pedagogy in mind. The authors have given explanations of the classical works of Rayleigh and other great physicists in ways that are better than the original papers themselves. I read many of the chapters (essays), deriving the intermediate results and like the authors applications of the Rayleigh work principle (as they call it) to a variety of problems. The second chapter on domain and surface perturbations, and the associated Appendix are the best I have seen anywhere and do what no other book has done thus far. The authors explain here how to write equations at distorted surfaces in terms of convenient reference surfaces and answer a lot of subtle questions in the process. The second chapter seems to be the basis for the entire book.
The energy arguments in the chapters on jets and Rayleigh Taylor are really nice. The chapters on rotating liquid bridges, solidification, precipitation, and electrodeposition contain a lot of new material. The subject matter is explained in physical terms with pictures and predictive calculations are then made that support the physical arguments. This book is great for intermediate graduate students and teachers who like to use a pen and a tablet. I have read several books on stability of fluid flow and this book is among the best. The book is best read in a research group and many interesting ideas will emanate. A worthy buy!
Writing a book for the sake of writing a book?.......2003-01-30
This book reads as if the authors were trying to teach themselves interfacial instability. The problems are old worn-out, and the "essays" (each chapter, that is) are simply re-working of what is in the technical literature. The book does have some value, and should be useful to graduate students, but the authors could have chosen many problems of current interest with rich applications and pedagogical value. The topics chosen are fron classic papers (Lord Rayleigh, Saffman & Taylor, Chandrasekhar, etc.). Get Xerox copies of the original papers and save a bundle! The book is not worth the price (roughly $....)

Book Description
Adopts a completely original approach to the study of processes of mass transfer. In contrast to the usual approach, based on the concept of continuum media and the theory of heat and mass transfer, the topic is considered from a new viewpoint, taking into account the heterogeneous dispersal state of porous bodies. The editord base their discussion on the theory of surface forces and microhydrodynamic analysis of the processes of mass transport of gases, liquids and vapors, providing the reader with a systematic account of liquid/solid and gas/solid interfaces.
Topics treated in this book include structural peculiarities, equilibrium and properties of liquids in porous bodies. Various mechanisms of mass transfer are considered, including liquid flow in pores and films, gas diffusion, combined transfer of liquid and vapor, convective diffusion in solutions, structure formation, capillary phenomena, and wetting. This unique book provides a wealth of information from the former Soviet Union.

Book Description
Substances possessing heterogeneous microstructure on the nanometer and micron scales are scientifically fascinating and technologically useful. Examples of such substances include liquid crystals, microemulsions, biological matter, polymer mixtures and composites, vycor glasses, and zeolites. In this volume, an interdisciplinary group of researchers report their developments in this field. Topics include statistical mechanical free energy theories which predict the appearance of various microstructures, the topological and geometrical methods needed for a mathematical description of the subparts and dividing surfaces of heterogeneous materials, and modern computer-aided mathematical models and graphics for effective exposition of the salient features of microstructured materials.
