Thermodynamics in Polymer (EBT239/4)

Written by leading experts from around the world, this volume comprehensively reviews the latest simulation techniques for macromolecular materials.

This reader-friendly book fosters a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena through lucid physical descriptions, photographs, clear illustrations and fully worked example problems. More than 1,100 problems, including open-ended design problems and computer-oriented problems, provide an opportunity to apply fluid mechanics principles. Throughout, the authors have meticulously reviewed all problems, solutions, and text material to ensure accuracy. The Student Solutions Manual contains 100 example problems with solutions, designed by the authors to address the main concepts of each chapter of their text, Engineering Fluid Mechanics, 7E. These complete worked-out solutions help walk you through problem-solving processes that you can apply to the exercises in the main text.

Environmental problems are becoming an important aspects of our lives as industries grow apace with populations throughout the world. Our new book Thermodynamics, Solubility and Environmental Issues addresses some of the problems and shows how chemistry can help to reduce these problems. The unifying theme is Solubility - the most important and basic of Thermodynamic properties. This book is a collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics, written by experts and representing the latest findings in many topical and important areas related to solubility and environmental issues. Subjects covered, include: environmental remediation, CO[subscript 2] in natural systems, radioactive waste disposal, biodegradable polymers, pesticide contamination, mining problems, soil issues, heavy metals and groundwater, green chemistry, ionic liquids in the environment, body fluids and solubility, plasticizers and environmental pollution, bio-surfactants and the environment, problems with polymer production, modelling and predictions of environmental pollution, applications of supercritical fluids, gasoline additive problems in the environment, separation problems, and the biological uptake of aluminium. The book is aimed, not only at those working directly in some of the specific areas covered in the book, but at prospective researchers, environmental managers, parliamentarians, captains of industry, university teachers and students both graduate and post-graduate, scientists and technical personnel in all industries, public service personnel and also people wishing to invest in new technologies. One of the strengths of presenting material on a single topic (in this case solubility) covering a wide range of areas (all linked to environmental issues), in a single book, is that links can readily be made between these chapters, and this can lead to unique ways of solving both new and old environmental problems.
