The systematic exploration of thermodynamic properties of molten metals and the physical processes during melt solidification provide the basis to develop proper modeling tools for computer assisted materials design to optimize casting processes, production routes and even find novel and innovative materials. This handbook concentrates on multicomponent alloys because most of the metallic materials in daily use are composed of several elements. It covers important aspects from fundamentals to applications:
- Thermodynamics,
- Microscopic and Macroscopic Dynamics,
- Nd-Fe based Alloys,
- Solidification and Simulation.
The text provides a vital understanding of melt properties and solidification processes, treating all simulation techniques for continuous and discrete systems, such as molecular dynamics on an atomic scale and sharp interface and phase field modeling on a mesoscopic scale. This is a complete and detailed picture of complex simulation of metallic alloy melts their solidification behaviour for materials scientists, solid state physicists and chemists, and those working in the metal processing industry.
The reports given in the handbook describe scientific results of a priority program (DFG SPP1120) funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft over a period of six years.

R2,522 Discovery Miles 25 220 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This textbook introduces the molecular side of physical chemistry. It offers students and practitioners a new approach to the subject by presenting numerous applications and solved problems that illustrate the concepts introduced for varied and complex technical situations. The book offers a balance between theory, tools, and practical applications. The text aims to be a practical manual for solving engineering problems in industries where processes depend on the chemical composition and physical properties of matter. The book is organized into three main topics: (I) the molecular structure of matter, (II) molecular models in thermodynamics, and (III) transport phenomena and mechanisms. Part I presents methods of analysis of the molecular behavior in a given system, while the following parts use these methods to study the equilibrium states of a material system and to analyze the processes that can take place when the system is in a state of non-equilibrium, in particular the transport phenomena. Molecular Physical Chemistry for Engineering Applications is designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in physical chemistry for engineers, applied physical chemistry, transport phenomena, colloidal chemistry, and transport/transfer processes. The book will also be a valuable reference guide for engineers, technicians, and scientists working in industry. Offers modeling techniques and tools for solving exercises and practical cases; Provides solutions and conclusions so students can follow results more closely; Step-by-step problem solving enables students to understand how to approach complex issues.

Liangyao Chen
R7,347 Discovery Miles 73 470 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents an overview of both the theory and experimental methods required to realize high efficiency solar absorber devices. It begins with a historical description of the study of spectrally selective solar absorber materials and structures based on optical principles and methods developed over the past few decades. The optical properties of metals and dielectric materials are addressed to provide the background necessary to achieve high performance of the solar absorber devices as applied in the solar energy field. In the following sections, different types of materials and structures, together with the relevant experimental methods, are discussed for practical construction and fabrication of the solar absorber devices, aiming to maximally harvest the solar energy while at the same time effectively suppressing the heat-emission loss. The optical principles and methods used to evaluate the performance of solar absorber devices with broad applications in different physical conditions are presented. The book is suitable for graduate students in applied physics, and provides a valuable reference for researchers working actively in the field of solar energy.
