Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Turbulente Strömungen: Einführung in die Physik
Book SynopsisHeinz Herwig zeigt, dass turbulente Strömungen in Natur, Technik und im Alltag die Regel sind und nicht etwa die Ausnahme. Nicht zuletzt ist dies einer der Gründe, warum man sich mit der Physik turbulenter Strömungen befassen sollte. Dies geschieht hier anhand theoretischer und praktischer Fragestellungen. Turbulenz ist in diesem essential nicht als eigenständiges Phänomen gemeint, sondern tritt im Zusammenhang mit Strömungen von gasförmigen oder flüssigen Medien auf. Table of ContentsWann, wo und warum sind Strömungen turbulent?.- Wie können turbulente Strömungen theoretisch beschrieben werden?.- Die Zweischichtenstruktur wandnaher turbulenter Strömungen.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Entropy Generation Minimization The Method of Thermodynamic Optimization of FiniteSize Systems and FiniteTime Processes 2 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Series
Book SynopsisThis book presents the diverse and rapidly expanding field of Entropy Generation Minimization (EGM), the method of thermodynamic optimization of real devices. The underlying principles of the EGM method - also referred to as thermodynamic optimization, thermodynamic design, and finite time thermodynamics - are thoroughly discussed, and the method's applications to real devices are clearly illustrated.The EGM field has experienced tremendous growth during the 1980s and 1990s. This book places EGM's growth in perspective by reviewing both sides of the field - engineering and physics. Special emphasis is given to chronology and to the relationship between the more recent work and the pioneering work that outlined the method and the field.Entropy Generation Minimization combines the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. EGM applies these principles to the modeling and optimization of real systems and processes that are characterized by finite size and finite time constraints, and are limited by heat and mass transfer and fluid flow irreversibilities.Entropy Generation Minimization provides a straightforward presentation of the principles of the EGM method, and features examples that elucidate concepts and identify recent EGM advances in engineering and physics. Modern advances include the optimization of storage by melting and solidification; heat exchanger design; power from hot-dry-rock deposits; the on & off operation of defrosting refrigerators and power plants with fouled heat exchangers; the production of ice and other solids; the maximization of power output in simple power plant models with heat transfer irreversibilities; the minimization of refrigerator power input in simple models; and the optimal collection and use of solar energy.Table of Contents(Chapter Titles)Thermodynamics Concepts and LawsEntropy Generation and Exergy DestructionEntropy Generation in Fluid FlowEntropy Generation in Heat TransferHeat ExchangersInsulation SystemsStorage SystemsPower GenerationSolar-Thermal Power GenerationRefrigerationTime-Dependent OperationAppendices: Local Entropy Generation Rate.

Cambridge University Press Fundamentals of Multiphase Flow
Book SynopsisThis book is targeted to graduate students and researchers at the cutting edge of investigations into the fundamental nature of multiphase flows. It is intended as a reference book for the basic methods used in the treatment of multiphase flows. The subject of multiphase flows encompasses a vast field, a host of different technological contexts, a wide spectrum of different scales, a broad range of engineering disciplines, and a multitude of different analytical approaches. The aim of Fundamentals of Multiphase Flow is to bring much of this fundamental understanding together into one book, presenting a unifying approach to the fundamental ideas of multiphase flows. The book summarizes those fundamental concepts with relevance to a broad spectrum of multiphase flows. It does not pretend to present a comprehensive review of the details of any one multiphase flow or technological context; references to such reviews are included where appropriate.Trade Review'The book is an excellent reference book for basic methods used in the treatment of multiphase flows, and it is very well written and enjoyable.

Cambridge University Press Physics of Solitons
Book SynopsisSolitons are waves with exceptional stability properties which appear in many areas of physics. The basic properties of solitons are introduced here using examples from macroscopic physics (e.g. blood pressure pulses and fibre optical communications). The book then presents the main theoretical methods before discussing applications from solid state or atomic physics such as dislocations, excitations in spin chains, conducting polymers, ferroelectrics and BoseâEinstein condensates. Examples are also taken from biological physics and include energy transfer in proteins and DNA fluctuations. Throughout the book the authors emphasise a fresh approach to modelling nonlinearities in physics. Instead of a perturbative approach, nonlinearities are treated intrinsically and the analysis based on the soliton equations introduced in this book. Based on the authors' graduate course, this textbook gives an instructive view of the physics of solitons for students with a basic knowledge of general pTable of ContentsList of Portraits; Preface; Part I.
