Thermal treatment of materials occupies a significant,
increasing proportion of MSE activity and is an integral component
of modern curricula as well as a highly monetized component of
industrial production. Laser processing of materials offers
advantages over conventional methods of processing. Some of these
advantages include fast processing, precision of operation, low
cost and local treatment. Analytical modeling of laser processing
gives insight into the physical and mathematical aspects of the
problem and provides useful information on process optimization.
This work from Professor Yilbas, a world-recognized expert in laser
materials processing, provides the necessary depth and weight of
analysis, collating mathematical and physical modeling and
experimentation with the necessary discussion of applications. It
meets coherence in topics with high technical quality. It
encompasses the basics of laser processing and provides an
introduction to analytical modeling of the process. Fundamentals
and formulation of the heating process are presented for numerous
heating conditions.
Self-Cleaning of Surfaces and Water Droplet Mobility deals with the self-cleaning of hydrophobic surfaces. Chapters cover the basics of wetting states of fluids and surface characteristics in terms of texture topology and free energy. The self-cleaning aspects of surfaces, such as various synthesizing and fabrication processes are then introduced and discussed, along with environmental dust properties, including elemental compositions, particle sizes and shapes, and their chemo-mechanics characteristics. In addition, mud formation in humid air, as well as ambient and dry mud adhesion on optically transparent surfaces is explored, as is water droplet dynamics on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces, amongst other topics. The book fills the gap between the physical fundamentals of surface energy and texture characteristics for practical applications of surface cleaning and provides a basic understanding of the self-cleaning of surfaces that will be idea for academics, researchers and students.
