Nanoporous solids are ubiquitous in chemical, energy, and environmental processes, where
controlled transport of molecules through the pores plays a crucial role. They are used as …

Recent developments in modelling the heating and evaporation of fuel droplets are
reviewed, and unsolved problems are identified. It is noted that modelling transient droplet …

Convective Heat and Mass Transfer, Second Edition, is ideal for the graduate level study of
convection heat and mass transfer, with coverage of well-established theory and practice as …

Fluid slip has been observed experimentally in micro-and nanoscale flow devices by several
investigators [eg, Tretheway and Meinhart, Phys. Fluids 14, L9 (2002); Zhu and Granik …

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)-based global space weather models have mostly been
developed and maintained at academic institutions. While the “free spirit” approach of …

The detections of atomic hydrogen, heavy atoms and ions surrounding the extrasolar giant
planet (EGP) HD209458b constrain the composition, temperature and density profiles in its …

Laboratory experiments and numerical simulation reveal that a submerged intruder dragged
horizontally at a constant velocity within a granular medium experiences a lift force whose …

A numerical one‐dimensional model of the marine boundary layer (MBL) is presented. It
includes chemical reactions in the gas phase and aerosol particles, focusing on the reaction …

In this paper, two simplified models of edge localized mode (ELM) power exhaust are
developed, one based on the kinetic and the other on the fluid treatment of parallel losses …

Microscale gas flows are the subject of increasingly active research due to the rapid
advances in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). The rarefied phenomena in MEMS …
