Mass Transfer: Advances in Sustainable Energy and Environment Oriented Numerical Modeling

InTech, 2013. 521 p. — ISBN: 9535111702, 9789535111702.In this book, the authors provide advances in scientific findings and technologies, and develop new theoretical models concerning mass transfer. This book brings valuable references for research engineers working in the variety of mass transfer sciences and related fields in mechanical, energy, environmental, materials, bio, and chemical engineering. Since the constitutive topics cover the advances in broad research areas, the topics will be mutually stimulus and informative not only to research engineers, but also to university professors and students in different areas.Our knowledge of mass transfer processes has been extended and applied to various fields of science and engineering including industrial processes in recent years. Since mass transfer is primordial phenomenon, it plays a key role in the scientific researches and fields of mechanical, energy, environmental, materials, bio, and chemical engineering. In this book, energetic authors especially provide advances in scientific findings and technologies, and develop new theoretical models concerning mass transfer for sustainable energy and environment.ContentsPrefaceAdvanced Numerical ModelingsThe Theory of Random Transformation of Dispersed MatterMinimum Dissipation Conditions of the Mass Transfer and Optimal Separation Sequence Selection for Multicomponent Mixtures ISuccessive Linearization of Heat and Mass Transfer over an Unsteady Stretching Permeable Surface in the Presence of Thermal Radiation and a Variable Chemical ReactionContinuous Chromatography Modelling with 2D and 3D Networks and Stochastic Methods - Effects of Porous Structure and Solute PopulationCross-Diffusion, Viscous Dissipation and Radiation Effects on an Exponentially Stretching Surface in Porous MediaNumerical Analysis of Mixed Convection Magnetohydrodynamic Heat and Mass Transfer past a Stretching Surface in a Micro-Polar Fluid-Saturated Porous Medium Under the Influence of Ohmic HeatingModeling of Heat and Mass Transfer and Absorption-Condensation Dust and Gas Cleaning in Jet ScrubbersFouling in Membrane Filtration and Remediation MethodsFiltration of Radioactive Solutions in Jointy LayersAdvances in Numerical Analysis with MeasurementsStudy of Effect of Temperature Radient on Solid Dissolution Process Under Action of Transverse Rotating Magnetic FieldMass Transfer Over the Surface of Metal Nanostructures Initiated and Stopped by IlluminationConvective Mass Transfer in a Champagne GlassLattice Boltzmann Modeling of the Gas Diffusion Layer of the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell with the Aid of Air Permeability MeasurementsGeneral Aspects of Aqueous Sorption Process in Fixed BedsAirlift Bioreactors: Hydrodynamics and Rheology Application to Secondary Metabolites ProductionSome Remarks on Modelling of Mass Transfer Kinetics During Rehydration of Dried Fruits and VegetablesSubcritical Water ExtractionMass Transfer: Impact of Intrinsic Kinetics on the EnvironmentCoordinated and Integrated Geomorphologic Analysis of Mass Transfers in Cold Climate Environments - The SEDIBUD (Sediment Budgets in Cold Environments) Programme
