This new book is about multicomponent flow modeling and analysis. Multicomponent reactive flow arises in various engineering applications such as combustion, crystal growth, atmospheric reentry, and chemical reactors. The purpose of this book is first to give a detailed presentation of the governing equations--including the expression of multicomponent transport coefficients--obtained from the kinetic theory of gases. We also discuss symmetric formulations of the governing equations--which are important from a theoretical and a numerical point of view--and we investigate equilibrium flows. A s

The authors present a general and self-contained theory of iterative algorithms for evaluating transport coefficients in multicomponent, and especially dilute polyatomic gas mixtures thus filling a gap left by other books that give preference to pure (mostly monatomic) gases and to binary mixtures. Approximate expressions for the transport coefficients are rigorously derived from the kinetic theory. These can be readily used, at a reduced computational cost, in numerical models. Hence, the present algorithms will be of extensive interest in theoretical calculations and numerical modeling for f

Aspiring engineers have long needed a text that prepares them to use thermodynamics in professional practice. Thermodynamics instructors need a concise textbook written for a one-semester undergraduate course-a text that foregoes clutter and unnecessary details but furnishes the essential facts and methods.Thermodynamics for Engineers fills both those needs. Paying special attention to the learning process, the author has developed a unique, practical guide to classical thermodynamics. His approach is remarkably cohesive. For example, he develops the same example through his presentation of th

This book introduces the reader to the changing notions of the lexicon and dictionary-making, using a convergence of perspectives from computational linguistics, corpus linguistics, and computational lexicography/lexicology. The main issues include: the relation between lexicon and corpus; corpus-based lexical modelling of language; the computational storage of the lexicon. From this, the book constructs and applies a framework for lexicon-building to a case study. It also stresses the importance of the Internet and World Wide Web for dictionary research and study.
