Mathematics in Science and Engineering, Volume 3: The Optimal Design of Chemical Reactors: A Study in Dynamic Programming covers some of the significant problems of chemical reactor engineering from a unified point of view. This book discusses the principle of optimality in its general baring on chemical processes. Organized into nine chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the whole range of optimal problems in chemical reactor design. This text then provides the fundamental equations for reactions and reactors. Other chapters consider the objective function needed to define a realistic optimal problem and explain separately the main types of chemical reactors and their associated problems. This book discusses as well the three problems with a stochastic element. The final chapter deals with the optimal operation of existing reactors that may be regarded as partial designs in which only some of the variables can be optimally chosen. This book is a valuable resource for chemical engineers.

Advances in Polarography, Volume 1 is a collection of papers presented at the Second International Congress of Polarography held at Cambridge in 1959 in honor of the 70th birthday of Professor Heyrovsky. This book is composed of 26 chapters and begins with discussions of the principles, mode of operation, and application of several polarographic techniques, including oscillographic, derivative, continuous, and differential cathode-ray polarography. The succeeding section discusses the theoretical, kinetic, and fundamental aspects of these techniques. The remaining sections are devoted to the analytical, industrial, biological, and medical applications of polarography.

Advances in Polarography, Volume 2 covers the proceedings of the Second International Congress held at Cambridge in 1959 in honor of the 70th birthday of Professor Heyrovsky. This volume is composed of 35 chapters and begins with intensive discussions on the theoretical and fundamental aspects, as well as pertinent equations in polarography. Considerable chapters are devoted to the chemical and metallurgical applications of the technique, with emphasis on the trace determination of certain compounds. The remaining chapters explore other application of specific polarographic technique, such as nicotinic acid, iso-benzpyrylium salts, and metal complex analysis.

Unsteady Motion of Continuous Media covers the technical applications in the study of rapidly occurring processes in unsteady motion of continuous media. This 15-chapter text focuses on the detonation and explosion processes. The introductory chapters review the mathematical and thermodynamic methods of gas dynamics, as well as the fundamental equations of non-stationary gas dynamics. The succeeding chapters deal with the concept of self-similar motion, solutions of equations, one-dimensional isentropic motions, and the elementary theory of shock waves. Considerable chapters are devoted to the mechanisms and principles of detonation wave, its propagation and unsteady motion in condensed media. These topics are followed by discussions of the propulsion of bodies by a gas stream; the motion of gas in a gravitational field; and the limiting motion of rarefield and very dense media. The concluding chapter presents some problems in the relativistic mechanics of solid medium. This book will prove useful to physicists, applied mathematicians, and chemical engineers.

Viscoelasticity: Phenomenological Aspects provides information pertinent to the phenomenological aspects of viscoelasticity. This book provides the basic approach to the behavioral description of viscoelasticity. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the development of various theories of linear viscoelastic theories. This text then presents the results of investigation that evaluate the linear viscoelastic parameters of typical polymeric materials. Other chapters consider the development of nonlinear stress-strain-time relations for viscoelastic materials, which have been helpful in the analysis of the linear mechanical behavior of rubberlike polymers and the molecular theories. This book discusses as well the application of linear theories and the behavior of a number of polymer systems and their similarities and differences. The final chapter deals with experimental observations of real materials that exhibit nonlinear, time-dependent stress-strain behavior. This book is a valuable resource for chemists, mechanical engineers, and research workers.
