Clear and structured view on the fundamentals of modeling phase change phenomena in chemical and material engineering
Bridging the divide between materials engineering and chemical engineering and providing unique insights in both fields, Guide to Modeling of Phase Change Phenomena in Chemical and Materials Engineering imparts a combination of the heat and mass transfer theory and practical engineering problems referring to phase change phenomena in chemical and materials engineering. The text enables engineers to calculate complex large scale systems, taking into account micro-scale phase change phenomena, and predict complex transport phenomena on the phase change interface including melting, solidification, oxidation, and gasification processes under the influence of convection.
To enable a thorough understanding of the models, the book provides selected examples with solutions to work through.
Written by a highly qualified academic with significant experience in the field, Guide to Modeling of Phase Change Phenomena in Chemical and Materials Engineering includes information on:
- Role of modeling in modern engineering, covering goals, advantages, and disadvantages, along with rules of modeling and programming in engineering
- Main concepts surrounding modeling of phase change phenomena in engineering, such as mixture models and Euler-Eulerbased models
- Phase change phenomena in materials engineering, covering melting ice in air and water, freezing water in cavities (lakes), and more
- Phase change phenomena in chemical engineering, covering the drying of solid carbonaceous particles from entrained flows to fixed beds and more
Providing comprehensive coverage of the subject with a plethora of helpful learning aids included throughout the text, Guide to Modeling of Phase Change Phenomena in Chemical and Materials Engineering is an essential resource for students in pro
