Convection in Porous Media (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This updated edition of a widely admired text provides a user-friendly introduction to the field that requires only routine mathematics. The book starts with the elements of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, and covers a wide range of applications from fibrous insulation and catalytic reactors to geological strata, nuclear waste disposal, geothermal reservoirs, and the storage of heat-generating materials. As the standard reference in the field, this book will be essential to researchers and practicing engineers, while remaining an accessible introduction for graduate students and others entering the field. The new edition features 2700 new references covering a number of rapidly expanding fields, including the heat transfer properties of nanofluids and applications involving local thermal non-equilibrium and microfluidic effects.

• Recognized as the standard reference in the field
• Includes a comprehensive, 350-page reference list
• Cited over 5900 times to date in its various editions
• Serves as an introduction for those entering the field and as a comprehensive reference for experienced researchers
• Covers the latest developments in research on nanofluids and CO2 sequestration

Autor

Following five years of service in the Royal New Zealand Navy, Donald Nield has held an appointment at the University of Auckland since 1962, the first 24 years in the Department of Mathematics and the remainder in the Department of Engineering Science, where he is currently an Honorary Academic. He holds the degrees of BD (Otago), MSc (NZ), MA (Cambridge) and PhD (Auckland). He currently serves as an Associate Editor of the journal Transport in Porous Media.

Adrian Bejan earned all his degrees at M.I.T.: B.S. (1971, Honors Course), M.S. (1972, Honors Course) and Ph.D. (1975). His work is in engineering science, applied physics, and the Constructal Law of physics, which governs organization and evolution in nature. He is the author of 30 books and over 600 peer-refereed journal articles. In 2001 he was ranked among the 100 most-cited authors in all Engineering worldwide. He is a member of the Academy of Europe, and an honorary member of ASME. He was awarded 18 honorary doctorates from universities in 11 countries.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"The book by Nield and Bejan provides a fundamental and comprehensive presentation of mathematical and physical theories of many classical and new (modern) areas of flow and transport in porous media ... . The book is excellently written and easily readable. ... extremely useful to a wide range of specialists working in the area of flow in porous media, such as university students, graduate students, design engineers, physicists, chemical engineers, and also to researchers interested in the mathematical theory of flow in porous media." (Ioan Pop, zbMATH, Vol. 1268, 2013)
