Research and Markets: Porous Media Transport Phenomena: the book that makes transport in porous media accessible to students and researchers alike

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e472d4/porous_media_trans) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Porous Media Transport Phenomena" to their offering.

Porous Media Transport Phenomena covers the general theories behind flow and transport in porous media solids permeated by a network of pores filled with fluid - encompassing rocks, biological tissues, ceramics, and much more. Designed for use in graduate courses in various disciplines involving fluids in porous materials, and as a reference for practitioners in the field, the text includes exercises and practical applications while avoiding the complex math found in other books, allowing the reader to focus on the central elements of the topic.

Covering general porous media applications, including the effects of temperature and particle migration, and placing an emphasis on energy resource development, the book provides an overview of mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations, and their applications in engineered and natural porous media for general applications. Offering a multidisciplinary approach to transport in porous media, material is presented in a uniform format with consistent SI units.

Key Topics Covered:

Transport Properties of Porous Media
Macroscopic Transport Equations
Scaling and Correlation of Transport in Porous Media
Fluid Motion in Porous Media
Gas Transport in Tight Porous Media
Fluid Transport Through Porous Media
Parameters of Fluid Transfer in Porous Media
Mass, Momentum, and Energy Transport in Porous Media
Suspended Particulate Transport in Porous Media
Transport in Heterogeneous Porous Media
