Description

Book Synopsis
This two-volume work is detailed enough to serve as a text and comprehensive enough to stand as a reference. Volume 1, Fluid Mechanics, summarizes the key experiments that show how polymeric fluids differ from structurally simple fluids, then presents, in rough historical order, various methods for solving polymer fluid dynamics problems. Volume 2, Kinetic Theory, uses molecular models and the methods of statistical mechanics to obtain relations between bulk flow behavior and polymer structure. Includes end-of-chapter problems and extensive appendixes.

Table of Contents
Newtonian vs Non-Newtonian Behavior.

Elementary Constitutive Equations and Their Use in Solving FluidDynamics Problems.

Nonlinear Viscoelastic Constitutive Equations and Their Use inSolving Fluid Dynamics Problems.

Continuum Mechanics and Its Use in Solving Fluid DynamicsProblems.

Polymer Models and Equilibrium Properties.

Elementary Approach to Kinetic Theory.

A General Phase-Space Kinetic Theory.
