DESCRIPTION:
Very good analyzed A Customer This book offered a very good description of the related problem. All the aspects of the problem are explaned in details.. very technical this book is dry, dry, dry. i bought it for use in a graduate-level class and used it VERY sparingly. i don't recommend it unless you need it for class and/or you love overly technical explanations. think wikipedia science entries.. VP said Great book for aerosol science. This book provides indepth theory on the fundamentals of particle science. It serves as a good text book for a graduate level course on particle science; and also as a good reference book in industry.
Friedlander is at University of California, Los Angeles. Sheldon K.
Sheldon Friedlanderis probably America's pre-eminent investigator of aerosols, by virtue of his theoretical and experimental work conducted in a variety of areas since the 1950's.Smoke, Dust and Haze is the first published book on aerosols written primarily for classroom use. Praise for the previous edition: "The reader of this excellent senior- or first-year-graduate level text will recognize the catholic nature of the material treated. It was written explicitly for chemical- and environmental-engineering first-year-graduate students but it could serve excellently as a physics course to introduce students to the nature of applied science."--Physics Today
Using the aerosol dynamics approach, the author integrates a broad range of topics including stochastic processes, aerosol transport theory, coagulation, formation of agglomerates, classical nucleation theory, and the synthesis of ultrafine solid particles. It covers the effects of turbulence on coagulation and gas-to-particle conversion and also discusses the formation of primary particles by the collision-coalescence mechanism. Basic concepts are illustrated by applications to many fields including air pollution control, the atmospheric sciences, microcontamination in the semiconductor industry, and the industrial manufacture of powders, pigments, additives, and nanoparticles. The chapter on the atmospheric aerosol has been completely rewritten within the aerosol dynamics framework. The book makes extensive use of scaling concepts and dimensional analysis and emphasizes physical and physicochemical interpretations. It covers fundamental concepts, experimental methods, and a wide variety of applications. Revised and expanded, this second edition features new chapters on the kinetics of agglomeration of noncoalescing particles and the fundamentals of aerosol reactor design. Its basic approach and topicality make Smoke, Dust, and Haze: Fundamentals of Aerosol Dynamics, 2/e, an essential guide for both students and researchers..
