Emerging Topics in Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media [electronic resource] : From Bioengineering and Microelectronics to Nanotechnology /
Vadasz, Peter.editor.
This book provides a unique collection of articles reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field of heat and mass transfer in porous media with particular emphasis to emerging technologies, from bioengineering and bio-tissues and microelectronics to nanotechnology. The integration of the different topics is presented via a combination of theoretical and applied methodology to provide a self-contained major reference that is appealing to both the scientist and the engineer. Audience: Researchers and graduate students, developers in industrial companies.
