Opis

This book provides methods necessary to analyze complex particulate systems and related phenomena. It covers liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, and solid-liquid dispersions. It provides physical, chemical, and mathematical descriptions of fundamental processes influencing crystal size and shape, suspension rheology etc.

Spis treści

Part I. Introduction. Population balance equation. Very short introduction to fractal geometry. Turbulence. CFD modeling of multiphase flows. Part II. Fluid-fluid dispersions: Liquid-liquid and gas-liquid systems. Solid-liquid systems.

O autorze

Wioletta Podgórska is a Professor in the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, where she obtained her Ph.D. and D.Sc. Her main theoretical and experimental research touch such fields as turbulent mixing, chemical reaction, precipitation, liquid-liquid dispersions. She is an author of about 100 scientific papers and reports. The paper Mixing-precipitation model with application to double feed semibatch precipitation based on her Ph.D. thesis and published in Chemical Engineering Science, 1995, was taken into account during selection of most influential contributions to mixing research (AIChE Meeting for NAMF 21^st anniversary celebration). Her monograph Drop breakup and coalescence in turbulent field (OWPW, 2006, in Polish) was awarded by Polish Academy of Sciences in 2007. Professor Podgórska is also a coauthor of textbook Computations in bioreactor engineering (1^st ed. 1996, 2^nd ed. 2012, in Polish).
