This book presents a comprehensive description of the scientific principles and the very latest advances in research in this important area of surface and colloid science.

While PEM fuel cells are highly efficient, environmentally friendly sources of power, their durability hinders the commercialization of this technology. With contributions from international scientists active in PEM fuel cell research, PEM Fuel Cell Durability Handbook, Two-Volume Set provides a comprehensive source of state-of-the-art research in the field. The handbook looks at how to overcome the technical challenges of PEM fuel cell technology and drive the technology toward increased commercialization.

The two volumes in the set cover numerous...

Jeder produzierende Betrieb steht trotz bereits in der Produktion vorgenommener Umweltschutzmassnahmen vor dem Problem Abluft, Abgase und Abwasser behandeln zu mussen. Die verschiedensten Moglichkeiten der Abluft-/Abgasbehandlung werden in Band 3 vorgestellt. Zunachst wird beschrieben, wie eine Emissionsanalyse technischer Anlagen durchgefuhrt werden sollte. Danach folgen die Verfahren zur Minderung staubformiger Schadstoffemissionen. Die weiteren Kapitel geben die technischen Moglichkeiten zur Minderung gasformiger Schadstoffemissionen, und der abschliessende Beitrag behandelt...

To conserve resources, protect the environment, and yet formulate high performance coatings at an acceptable cost: these challenges are readily met by high solids. Such systems are the epitome of high performance and low environmental impact. They are usually the best option where solvent-borne systems would otherwise be the only choice.

This book delivers comprehensive knowledge in the field of high solid systems. More especially, it provides an overview of the various classes of binders and ways of transforming them into high solid binders. It lists a broad range of options and...

From the Foreword
Accelerated Testing: Nature and Artificial Weathering in the Coatings Industry is aimed at all those involved or interested in creating, producing, applying, and testing modern high-quality coatings for outdoor use.

Coatings are exposed to a great many severe natural stresses that cause a gradual deterioration of the properties which are responsible for the coatings' very quality. Nevertheless, buyers expect coated products to remain in an as-new condition -- which is mostly characterised by a highly attractive appearance and intact surface -- for as...

Zielsetzungen und Inhalt Das hiermit vorgelegte Werk gilt dem Ziel aufbauend auf hinreichenden Kenntnissen von Proze- und Stoffeigenschaften, des Werkstoff-, Betriebs- und Storverhaltens sowie der Sicherheitsbewertung, ferner unter Heranziehung der dem jeweiligen Problemumfang angemessenen Hilfs- mittel Komponenten und Anlagen des Stoff- und Energiewandlungsbereiches wirt- schaftlich zu planen, rechnerisch auszulegen, zu gestalten und schlielich in Betrieb zu nehmen. Dabei steht die konstruktive Betrachtung im Vordergrund. Apparate- und Anlagentechnik sind keineswegs immer selbstandige...

Presenting a unique control design approach for process engineering systems, this state-of-the-art book provides a systematic quantitative treatment of linear control design for multivariable systems and shows how it can be applied in paper malting, heat exchange systems, nuclear reactors and various automative systems.

Reliability, Risk and Safety: Back to the Future covers topics on reliability, risk and safety issues, including risk and reliability analysis methods, maintenance optimization, human factors, and risk management. The application areas range from nuclear engineering, oil and gas industry, electrical and civil engineering to information technology and communication, security, transportation, health and medicine or critical infrastructures.

Significant attention is paid to societal factors influencing the use of reliability and risk assessment methods, and...

The mechanical properties of food play an important role during manufacturing, storage, handling, and last but not least, during consumption. For an adequate understanding of the mechanical properties of liquid, liquid-like, soft solid, and solid foods, a basic understanding of relevant aspects of rheology and fracture mechanics is essential. Focusing on basic principles, Rheology and Fracture Mechanics of Foods examines how rheological and fracture behavior in food relates to product structure.

Divided into three parts, the book reviews basic concepts and emphasizes aspects...

Traditional food and bioprocessing technologies are facing challenges due to high expectation from the consumers and producers for better quality and safety, higher process efficiency, and products with novel properties or functionalities. For this reason, in the last few years new forms of physical energies have been explored to propose alternatives to traditional processing technologies. Acoustic energy has the potential to replace or partially substitute conventional processes, and at the same time offer unique opportunities in the characterization of foods and biomaterials.This book is a...
