Interdisciplinary Transport Phenomena

This volume brings together a collection of articles that crosses
traditional boundaries of scientific expertise under the common
theme of transport phenomena.

Transport phenomena in relation to fluid, thermal, biological,
materials, and space sciences are investigated. Chapters include
contributions in the following areas: (1) biotransport phenomena
and medical applications, including bio-transport phenomena in
physiology and medicine, targeted drug delivery, protein crystal
growth, and transport in bioporous media; (2) transport processes
in materials technology, with chapters on containerless processing,
levitation studies, electrostatic and electromagnetic phenomena,
diffusion processes, and inorganic crystal growth; (3) space
exploration technologies, for example, bio-response in the space
environment, combustion and space power systems, boiling phenomena
in space, thermal management in space, and water reclamation
technologies; (4) interfacial phenomena and phase transitions,
including drops, bubbles, particles, phase-change phenomena,
surfactants, and complex fluids; and (5) transport phenomena and
properties of nanoparticles and aerosols.
