An Introduction to Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering
elucidates the important role of conduction, convection, and
radiation heat transfer, mass transport in solids and fluids, and
internal and external fluid flow in the behavior of materials
processes. These phenomena are critical in materials engineering
because of the connection of transport to the evolution and
distribution of microstructural properties during processing. From
making choices in derivation of fundamental conservation equations,
to using scaling (order-of-magnitude) analysis showing
relationships among different phenomena, to giving examples of how
to represent real systems by simple models, the book takes the
reader through the fundamentals of transport phenomena applied to
materials processing. Fully updated, this Third Edition of a
classic textbook offers a significant shift from the previous
editions in the approach to this subject, representing an evolution
incorporating the original ideas and extending them to a more
comprehensive approach to the topic. Introduces order of magnitude
(scaling) analysis and uses it to quickly obtain approximate
solutions for complicated problems throughout the book. Focuses on
building models to solve practical problems. Adds new sections on
non-Newtonian flows, turbulence, and measurement of heat transfer
coefficients. Offers expanded sections on thermal resistance
networks, transient heat transfer, two-phase diffusion mass
transfer, and flow in porous media. Features more homework
problems, mostly on the analysis of practical problems, and new
examples from a much broader range of materials classes and
processes, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and electronic
materials. Includes homework problems for the review of the
mathematics required for a course based on this book and connects
the theory represented by mathematics with real-world problems.
This text is aimed at advanced engineering undergraduates and
students early in their graduate studies, as well as practicing
engineers interested in understanding the behavior of heat and mass
transfer and fluid flow during materials processing. While it is
designed primarily for materials engineering education, it is a
good reference for practicing materials engineers looking for
insight into phenomena controlling their processes. A solutions
manual, lectures slides, and figure slides are available for
qualifying adopting professors.
Now in its second edition, Forensic Investigation of Explosions
draws on the editor's 30 years of explosives casework experience,
including his work on task forces set up to investigate major
explosives incidents. Dr. Alexander Beveridge provides a broad,
multidisciplinary approach, assembling the contributions of
internationally recognized experts who present the definitive
reference work on the subject. Topics discussed include: The
physics and chemistry of explosives and explosions The detection of
hidden explosives The effect of explosions on structures and
persons Aircraft sabotage investigations Explosion scene
investigations Casework management The role of forensic scientists
Analysis of explosives and their residues Forensic pathology as it
relates to explosives Presentation of expert testimony With nearly
40 percent more material, this new edition contains revised
chapters and several new topics, including: A profile of casework
management in the UK Forensic Explosives Laboratory, one of the
world's top labs, with a discussion of their management system,
training procedures, and practical approaches to problem solving
Properties and analysis of improvised explosives An examination of
the Bali bombings and the use of mobile analytical techniques and
mobile laboratories The collection, analysis, and presentation of
evidence in vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cases, as
evidenced in attacks on US overseas targets This volume offers
valuable information to all members of prevention and post-blast
teams. Each chapter was written by an expert or experts in a
specific field and provides well-referenced information underlying
best practices that can be used in the field, laboratory,
conference room, classroom, or courtroom.

Maintaining the substance that made Introduction to the
Thermodynamic of Materials a perennial best seller for decades,
this Sixth Edition is updated to reflect the broadening field of
materials science and engineering. The new edition is reorganized
into three major sections to align the book for practical
coursework, with the first (Thermodynamic Principles) and second
(Phase Equilibria) sections aimed at use in a one semester
undergraduate course. The third section (Reactions and
Transformations) can be used in other courses of the curriculum
that deal with oxidation, energy, and phase transformations. The
book is updated to include the role of work terms other than PV
work (e.g., magnetic work) along with their attendant aspects of
entropy, Maxwell equations, and the role of such applied fields on
phase diagrams. There is also an increased emphasis on the
thermodynamics of phase transformations and the Sixth Edition
features an entirely new chapter 15 that links specific
thermodynamic applications to the study of phase transformations.
The book also features more than 50 new end of chapter problems and
more than 50 new figures.
Transport phenomena are the processes and rules by which heat,
mass, and momentum move through and between materials and systems.
Along with thermodynamics, mechanics, and electromagnetism, this
body of knowledge and theory forms the core principals of all
physical systems and is essential to all engineering disciplines.
This new edition of a classic work on how transport phenomena
behave in materials and materials systems will provide expanded
coverage and up-to-date theory and knowledge from today's research
on heat transfer and fluid behavior, with ample examples of
practical applications to materials processing and engineering.
Professional engineers and students alike will find one of the
clearest and most accessible approaches to an often difficult and
challenging subject. Logical pedagogy, with clear applications to
real materials engineering problems will make more vivid the
abstract body of knowledge that comprises today's understanding of
transport phenomena. Readers will find: A new chapter on boiling
and condensationRevised chapters on heat transport, mass transport
in solid state and mass transport in fluidsRevised and expanded
end-of-chapter problems and exercisesS.I. Units throughoutExtensive
Appendices of standard materials propertiesFor classroom use, a
Solutions Manual is available
