Thermodiffusion in Multicomponent Mixtures, 2013 Thermodynamic, Algebraic, and Neuro-Computing Models SpringerBriefs in Thermal Engineering and Applied Science Series

Thermodiffusion in Multicomponent Mixtures presents the computational approaches that are employed in the study of thermodiffusion in various types of mixtures, namely, hydrocarbons, polymers, water-alcohol, molten metals, and so forth. We present a detailed formalism of these methods that are based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics or algebraic correlations or principles of the artificial neural network. The book will serve as single complete reference to understand the theoretical derivations of thermodiffusion models and its application to different types of multi-component mixtures. An exhaustive discussion of these is used to give a complete perspective of the principles and the key factors that govern the thermodiffusion process.

Provides a thorough review of thermodiffusion approproate for a wide range of readers from graduate students through advanced researchers/practitioners Considers different types of mixtures including hydrocarbons, polymers, water-alcohol, and metals Presents a concise, one-stop reference on the theoretical formulation thermodiffusion from multiple perspectives Includes exhaustive discussion of methodologic applications and outcomes several investigations Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
