Books in the Heat and Mass Transfer series

This book provides an analysis of contemporary problems in combustion science, namely flame propagation, detonation and heterophaseous combustion based on the works of the author.

This volume develops the kinetic theory of transport phenomena and relaxation processes in the flows of reacting gas mixtures. The theory is applied to the modeling of non-equilibrium flows behind strong shock waves, in the boundary layer, and in nozzles.

This book focuses on the application of classical combustion theory to ignition and flame propagation in solid-solid and gas-solid systems.

In its second edition, this book reviews progress in the study of hydrodynamics and heat and mass transfer in laminar free convection, accelerating film boiling and condensation of Newtonian fluids, and accelerating film flow of non-Newtonian power-law fluids.

Latent heat storage with phase change materials (PCM) has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of heat and cold storages and to reduce their size considerably. This book offers the ideal introduction to the field for researchers and students.

This book offers a comprehensive account of the law and its relation to other laws and principles, such as the generalized conservation principle, variational formulation, Fermat's principle, Bejan's constructal law, entropy generation minimization, Bejan's method of intersecting asymptotes and equipartition principle.

This book presents a new computational methodology called Computational Mass Transfer (CMT). It details a rigorous model for the simulation of concentration, temperature and velocity distributions in chemical and related processes.

This book provides a compilation of important optical techniques applied to experiments in heat and mass transfer, multiphase flow and combustion.

This book presents a theoretical study of heat transfer due to laminar natural convection of nanofluids, using Al2O3-water nanofluid as an example.

The new models are used to analyze a broad range of processes (simple and complex chemical reactions, physical and chemical absorption, physical and chemical adsorption, catalytic reactions in the cases of physical and chemical adsorption mechanism), and make it possible to model sulfur dioxide gas purification processes.
