Thermodiffusion describes the coupling between a temperature gradient and a resulting mass flux. Traditionally, the focus has been on simple fluids, and it is now extending to more complex systems such as electrolytes, polymers, colloidal dispersions and magnetic fluids. This book widens the scope even further by including applications in ionic solids. Written as a set of tutorial reviews, it will be useful to experts, nonspecialist researchers and postgraduate students alike.

An analytical study of the influence of thermal diffusion on steady laminar boundary-layer flow of binary gaseous mixtures past a semi-infinite flat plate is reported. The Soret-Dufour effectsARE EVALUATED FOR He-air and H-air mixtures taking into account the influence of free-stream Mach number, free-stream concentration and temperature. The results obtained belong to the well known class of similar solutions. In all cases the plate is assumed to be in thermodynamic equilibrium and without mass absorption or release into the fluid. The results may therefore be interpreted as generalized solutions to the recovery problem. The effect of diffusion on the thermal recovery fact r is found to be within 0.5 and 1% for He-air and H-air mixtures near sonic velocity. It increases to 13% for H-air mixtures at a Mach number 10.

Written by the leading experts in the field, this book will provide a valuable, current account of the advances in the measurement and prediction of transport properties that have occurred over the last twenty years. Critical to industry, these properties are fundamental to, for example, the development of fossil fuels, carbon sequestration and alternative energy sources. This unique and comprehensive account will provide the experimental and theoretical background of near-equilibrium transport properties which provide the background when investigating industrial applications. Coverage includes new experimental techniques and how existing techniques have developed, new fluids eg molten metals, dense fluids, and critical enhancements of transport properties of pure substances. Practitioners and researchers in chemistry and engineering will benefit from this state of the art record of recent advances in the field of transport properties.

Thermodiffusion in Multicomponent Mixtures presents the computational approaches that are employed in the study of thermodiffusion in various types of mixtures, namely, hydrocarbons, polymers, water-alcohol, molten metals, and so forth. We present a detailed formalism of these methods that are based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics or algebraic correlations or principles of the artificial neural network. The book will serve as single complete reference to understand the theoretical derivations of thermodiffusion models and its application to different types of multi-component mixtures. An exhaustive discussion of these is used to give a complete perspective of the principles and the key factors that govern the thermodiffusion process.
