Membrane Technologies for Biohydrogen Production and Purification: Current Trends and Future Developments in Bio-Membranes focuses on the introduction, analysis, and application of membrane technologies for biohydrogen production, purification, storage, and transport. The book provides comprehensive coverage of emerging membrane-based technologies for the production and purification of biohydrogen by integrated engineering approaches with a special focus on novel membrane-based techniques for maximizing biohydrogen yields. It details recent developments in materials, design, and engineering aspects of membranes-assisted biohydrogen technology, illustrating their advantages over conventional systems, improved performance, and industry potential. The book sheds light and gives a broad, but very detailed, view from the point of view of scientists, researchers, students, and industrial engineers working in the field of biohydrogen and its technology transfer from laboratory to industry. It also includes an exclusive chapter on case studies of pilot-scale demonstrations of membrane-assisted biohydrogen production and purification, assuring the industrial potential of the book's topic. This makes it a key reference for experts and R&D managers interested in the industrial development of biohydrogen production as well as academic researchers and postgraduate students working in the wider areas of membrane technology and biohydrogen technology.

Surfactants are molecules that contain groups that are water-loving (hydrophilic) and oil-loving (lipophilic). The central question in formulations is often which of the two portions dominate the behavior of the surfactant. For many years that question was answered in terms of the surfactant structure only. However, the modern view is that the hydrophilic-lipophilic nature of the surfactant is the result of surfactant structure and formulation conditions (nature of the oil, temperature, aqueous phase composition) as captured by a semi-empirical equation called the hydrophilic-lipophilic difference (HLD). The HLD is a dimensionless number that indicate the approach to the point where the surfactant inverts its solubility from being water-soluble (negative HLD) to oil-soluble (positive HLD). The HLD alone is a good indicator of how the formulation could behave but it does not produce any formulation property that can be used to predict product performance. The net-average curvature (NAC) are a set of equations that take the value of HLD to predict the properties of the formulation, such as oil (and/or water) solubilization capacity, interfacial tension, phase diagrams, contact angle and others.Surfactant Formulation Engineering using HLD and NAC will not only introduce the reader to HLD-NAC but also to the practical use of these concepts in numerous applications ranging from application in the petroleum industry, to environmental remediation, to food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications, and even nanotechnology. The last part of the book will look at the molecular origins of the empirical terms in HLD via the Integrated Free Energy Model (IFEM).

Fractional Modelling of Fluid Flow and Transport Phenomena focuses on mathematical and numerical aspects of fractional-order modeling in fluid flow and transport phenomena. The book covers fundamental concepts, advancements, and practical applications, including modeling developments, numerical solutions, and convergence analysis for both time and space fractional order models. Various types of flows are explored, such as single- and multi-phase flows in porous media, involving different fluid types like Newtonian, non-Newtonian, nanofluids, and ferrofluids. This book serves as a comprehensive reference on fractional-order modeling of fluid flow and transport phenomena, offering a single resource that is currently unavailable.Fractional-order modeling has gained traction in engineering and science, particularly in fluid dynamics and transport phenomena. However, its mathematical and numerical advancements have progressed relatively slowly compared to other aspects. Therefore, this book emphasizes the fractional-order modeling of fluid flow and transport phenomena to bridge this gap. Each chapter in the book delves into a specific topic closely related to the others, ensuring a cohesive and self-contained structure.
