This book is essentially based on the lecture course on "Statistical Physics," which was taught by the author at the physical faculty of the Ural State University in Ekaterinburg since 1992. This course was intended for all physics students, not especially for those specializing in theoretical physics. In this sense the material presented here contains the necessary minimum of knowledge of statistical physics (also often called statistical mechanics), which is in author's opinion necessary for every person wishing to obtain a general education in the field of physics. This posed the rather...

The Third Edition of Heat Transfer offers complete and up-to-date coverage of heat transfer with an emphasis on on problem solving. Integrates software to assist the reader in efficient calculations. Carefully ordered chapters and well-crafted explanations assisted by realistic examples render this textbook more reader-friendly and accessible to both beginners and experts. Offers an extensive introduction to heat exchanger design to enhance the engineering and design content of courses to satisfy broad engineering accreditation requirements. This text also includes uniquely detailed...

The Classical Stefan Problem: Basic Concepts, Modelling and Analysis with Quasi-Analytical Solutions and Methods, New Edition, provides the fundamental theory, concepts, modeling, and analysis of the physical, mathematical, thermodynamical, and metallurgical properties of classical Stefan and Stefan-like problems as applied to heat transfer problems with phase-changes, such as from liquid to solid.

This self-contained work reports and derives the results from tensor analysis, differential geometry, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, physics, and functional analysis, and is...

This book focuses on the role of modeling in the design of alloys and intermetallic compounds. It includes an introduction to the most important and most used modeling techniques, such as CALPHAD and ab-initio methods, as well as a section devoted to the latest developments in applications of alloys. The book emphasizes the correlation between modeling and technological developments while discussing topics such as wettability of Ultra High Temperature Ceramics by metals, active brazing of diamonds to metals in cutting tools, surface issues in medicine, novel Fe-based superconductors,...
