Materials science

This book deals with density, temperature, velocity and concentration fluctuations in fluids and fluid mixtures.

Nanotechnology is no longer a merely social talking point and is beginning to affect the lives of everyone.

Nanoscience is of central importance in the physical and biological sciences and is now pervasive in technology.

Aerospace structural design, especially for large aircraft, is an empirical pursuit dominated by rules of thumb and often-painful service experiences.

Heat exchangers with minichannel and microchannel flow passages are becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to remove large heat fluxes under single-phase and two-phase applications.

Safety and environmental impact is of uppermost concern when dealing with the movement and storage of nuclear waste.

There are numerous engineering applications for high-speed rotating structures which rotate about their symmetric axes.

Superlattice to Nanoelectronics provides a historical overview of the early work performed by Tsu and Esaki, to orient those who want to enter into this nanoscience.

This is the key text and reference for engineers, researchers and senior students dealing with the analysis and modelling of structures - from large civil engineering projects such as dams, to aircraft structures, through to small engineered components.

An electrorheological (ER) suspension is made from an insulating liquid medium embodying either a semi-conductive particulate material or a semi-conductive liquid material (usually a liquid crystal material).

Innovations in Food Packaging addresses selective topics of functions of food packaging to modify the traditional notion of this process.

The theme of the present volume "e;Multiscale Analysis"e; has been introduced about a decade ago and is now reaching a stage where a first balance can be made and further research directions should be decided.
