This textbook highlights mechanisms, properties, observations, and research progress of solar and stellar rotation. The rotation of stars is a basic parameter that enters into the dynamo mechanisms that generates stellar activity. The faster stars rotate the higher stellar activity. Moreover, the rotation can also be used to determine stellar ages. Only in the case of the Sun we can directly observe details and therefore determine, e.g., the differential rotation. Thus, the Sun is a prototype for studying other stars. The textbook presents techniques that enable to determine rotation on...

This book presents a broad and well-structured overview of various non-Fourier heat conduction models. The classical Fourier heat conduction model is valid for most macroscopic problems. However, it fails when the wave nature of the heat propagation becomes dominant and memory or non-local spatial effects become significant; e.g., during ultrafast heating, heat transfer at the nanoscale, in granular and porous materials, at extremely high values of the heat flux, or in heat transfer in biological tissues. The book looks at numerous non-Fourier heat conduction models that incorporate time...

This book intends to summarize the current situation at home and abroad about the treatment and consumption of various metallurgical wastes and domestic waste fertilizers and their products through metallurgical processes. It collects the process characteristics of the whole metallurgical process from sintering, blast furnace, electric furnace, converter, and other aspects, as well as the process parameters for treating various solid wastes, solves the problems that may be encountered in the relevant processes, and puts forward corresponding solutions, including the transformation of the...
