Fundamental Concepts of Environmental Chemistry discusses the influence of environmental factors on both living and nonliving with special emphasis on human health problems like mutagenesis, teratogenesis and carcinogenesis. Energy conservation, acid rain, catalytic converters, greenhouse gases, stratospheric ozone depletion, polymers and plastics, eutrophication and noise pollution are also di…
Building on its tradition of clarity and numerous examples and problem sets, this new edition of Heat Transfer also recognizes the trend toward design and includes the use of computers to assist students in problem solving.
Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer, Revised, 6th Edition provides a unified treatment of momentum transfer (fluid mechanics), heat transfer and mass transfer. The new edition has been updated to include more modern examples, problems, and illustrations with real world applications. The treatment of the three areas of transport phenomena is done sequentially. The subjects of moment…
Intended for first-year graduate courses in heat transfer, this volume includes topics relevant to chemical and nuclear engineering and aerospace engineering. The systematic and comprehensive treatment employs modern mathematical methods of solving problems in heat conduction and diffusion. Starting with precise coverage of heat flux as a vector, derivation of the conduction equations, integra…
It offers detailed descriptions of the methods available to predict the occurrence of diffusion in alloys subjected to various processes. Major topic areas covered include diffusion equations, atomic theory of diffusion, diffusion in dilute alloys, diffusion in a concentration gradient, diffusion in non-metals, high diffusivity paths, and thermo- and electro-transport. This is an excellent text…
Introduction to Solid State Physics, 6th Edition The most widely used introduction to solid state physics in the world--now published in 15 languages. Designed for upper-level physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering students, this text presents both the theory and experimental facts of solids at an elementary level, with emphasis on semiconductors and on wave propagation in periodic medi…
This book emphasizes the physical principles underlying the theoretical interpretation of the basic crystalline, electric and magnetic properties of solids. Its self-contained chapters are widely used as a reference and provide invaluable grounding for physicists and metallurgists.
