Constructal theory is widely used, but often incorrectly applied, leading to unreasonable results. This book systematically reviews its applications in fields from economics to heat transfer, pointing out significant flaws, mistakes, and limitations. An essential read for anyone.
This book graphically represents metallic and semi-metallic elements, allowing their nature to be interpreted. Each element is plotted in a diagram with thermal conductivity on the abscissa and the Young’s modulus on the ordinate.
This monograph covers symmetries on a symplectic manifold, giving rise to quantum field theory via phase space and the Wigner function. This approach describes quantum chaos, introduces gauge symmetries, and leads to Symplectic Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon, and Dirac equations.
From energy and electronics to medicine, oxide materials are essential. This book presents the fundamentals of oxide powders, establishing a connection between their structure and electromagnetic properties to pave the way for new technological and biomedical applications.
This book reviews statistic/thermodynamic models for both polarized and unpolarized structure functions, with additional applications such as the EMC effect. It will appeal to researchers and students of hadronic and nuclear/particle physics.
This book describes mathematical methods for calculating nuclear characteristics and intercluster potentials. It discusses phase shift analysis of elastic scattering at low and astrophysical energies and investigates three-body models of light nuclear nuclei.
This book explains the theory and technology of converting electric energy to other forms, such as thermal, chemical, or mechanical. It offers new calculation methods and operating principles for electrotechnological equipment widely used in Eastern Europe.
Entropy generation minimization is widely used in thermal problems, sometimes as a unified theory. Is this really the case? This book answers this question, showing the theory has limitations and a definite application scope, beyond which it may provide incorrect results.
The muon is vital to particle, nuclear, and atomic physics, and a key component of the Standard Model. Muonic processes provide crucial information on the weak interaction. This book explores the various aspects of muon physics, highlighting the most recent experiments conducted.
This book describes a new interpretation of the Standard Model based on relations between particle masses and stable intervals in nuclear data. A combined analysis of these two data sets is performed for the first time, revealing many new relations based on the electron.
Explore Boltzmann’s probabilistic theory of heat, covering entropy, the Gibbs distribution, fluctuations, and dissipation. With applications from phase transitions to earthquakes, this book is for students and researchers seeking new ways of investigation in Thermodynamics.
This book investigates dynamical mass generation in four-fermion models, exploring the composite Higgs boson and effective chiral Lagrangians. It proves these models describe the region between asymptotic freedom and quark confinement.
