This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) technology continues to attract significant attention due to
its high performance over a range of carbon-containing fuel gases and non-toxic chemistry …

After a brief overview of the 'moving contact-line problem'as it emerged and evolved as a
research topic, a 'litmus test'allowing one to assess adequacy of the mathematical models …

We present results from an experimental study of the impact of liquid drops onto powder
beds which are pre-wetted with the impacting liquid. Using high-speed video imaging, we …

The contact line pinning mechanisms of a non-wetting droplet penetrating a permeable
substrate are theoretically explained by considering the force balance of volumetric force …

Thin porous media are common and of great importance for various industries and products.
These include papers and cartons, filters and filtration cakes, porous coatings, fuel cells …

The simulation of fluid flow over solid surfaces is important in many applications, for
example, in automotive applications where good visibility and the performance of external …

Wetting of partially wettable porous solids is encountered in many and diverse applications
such as imbibition of liquid reactants into pores of porous catalysts and adsorbents in reactor …

Dynamic wetting is crucial to processes where a liquid displaces another fluid along a solid
surface, such as the deposition of a coating liquid onto a moving substrate. Numerous …

The chapter explores the dynamics of liquid penetration in a closed end vertical capillary.
This model is very important for impedance spectroscopy methodology where oxidized …
