| Title | Low-Loss Storage and Handling of Cryogenic Liquids : The Application of Cryogenic Fluid Dynamics |
| Author(s) | Bostock, Thomas D;Scurlock, Ralph G |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XXV, 170 p. 42 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The revised second edition of this practical book reviews the fundamentals of cryogenic liquid behaviour in small and large scale storage systems. The text is based on research findings on the convective and evaporative behaviour of cryogenic fluids, aimed at improving the design, construction and operation of low-loss cryogenic liquid storage systems, with a view to minimising cost and improving operational safety. Since the first edition was published in 2006, the breadth of cryogenic applications and the modelling of cryogenic fluid dynamics (CFD) have expanded in several directions. In this second edition, most chapters have been extended to introduce discussions of these new applications and their safety and energy economy. These include advances in the modelling of CFD required in, for example, the design of miniature cryocoolers and condensers and reboilers, large-scale cryogenic liquid mixture properties and their stability, and the understanding that hazards and safety problems in the public domain increase with the scaling up of cryogenic systems. With helpful summaries at the end of each chapter, the book is an essential reference for anyone working on the design and operation of cryogenic liquid storage and transportation systems |

| Title | Brownian Motion : Elements of Colloid Dynamics |
| Author(s) | Philipse, Albert P |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XVII, 178 p. 50 illus., 15 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This textbook is an introduction to the Brownian motion of colloids and nano-particles, and the diffusion of molecules. One very appealing aspect of Brownian motion, as this book illustrates, is that the subject connects a broad variety of topics, including thermal physics, hydrodynamics, reaction kinetics, fluctuation phenomena, statistical thermodynamics, osmosis and colloid science. The book is based on a set of lecture notes that the authors used for an undergraduate course at the University of Utrecht, Netherland. It aims to provide more than a simplified qualitative description of the subject, without getting bogged down in difficult mathematics. Each chapter contains exercises, ranging from straightforward ones to more involved problems, addressing instances from (thermal motion in) chemistry, physics and life sciences. Exercises also deal with derivations or calculations that are skipped in the main text. The book offers a treatment of Brownian motion on a level appropriate for bachelor/undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, soft matter and the life sciences. PhD students attending courses and doing research in colloid science or soft matter will also benefit from this book |

| Title | Lattice Models for Fluctuating Hydrodynamics in Granular and Active Matter |
| Author(s) | Manacorda, Alessandro |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 200 p. 47 illus., 15 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book investigates the common nature of granular and active systems, which is rooted in their intrinsic out-of-equilibrium behavior, with the aim of finding minimal models able to reproduce and predict the complex collective behavior observed in experiments and simulations. Granular and active matter are among the most studied systems in out-of-equilibrium statistical physics. The book guides readers through the derivation of a fluctuating hydrodynamic description of granular and active matter by means of controlled and transparent mathematical assumptions made on a lattice model. It also shows how a macroscopic description can be provided from microscopic requirements, leading to the prediction of collective states such as cooling, swarming, clustering and the transitions among them. The analytical and numerical results shed new light on the physical connection between the local, microscopic properties of few particles and the macroscopic collective motion of the whole system |

| Title | Thermodynamics : Fundamental Principles and Applications |
| Author(s) | Saggion, Antonio;Faraldo, Rossella;Pierno, Matteo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XXVII, 432 p. 43 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers a comprehensive overview of thermodynamics. It is divided into four parts, the first of which equips readers with a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics of equilibrium states and of their evolution. The second part applies these principles to a series of generalized situations, presenting applications that are of interest both in their own right and in terms of demonstrating how thermodynamics, as a theory of principle, relates to different fields. In turn, the third part focuses on non-equilibrium configurations and the dynamics of natural processes. It discusses both discontinuous and continuous systems, highlighting the interference among non-equilibrium processes, and the nature of stationary states and of fluctuations in isolated systems. Lastly, part four introduces the relation between physics and information theory, which constitutes a new frontier in fundamental research. The book includes step-by-step exercises, with solutions, to help readers to gain a fuller understanding of the subjects, and also features a series of appendices providing useful mathematical formulae. Reflecting the content of modern university courses on thermodynamics, it is a valuable resource for students and young scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, and engineering |

| Title | Elementi di Meccanica dei Fluidi, Termodinamica e Fisica Statistica |
| Author(s) | Landi Degl'Innocenti, Egidio |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2019. |
| Description | XI, 281 pagg. 1 figg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In questo libro, con il consueto stile di scrittura semplice ma allo stesso tempo estremamente rigoroso, che ha sempre caratterizzato i testi dell'autore, le tre discipline di Meccanica dei Fluidi, Termodinamica e Statistica sono presentate per la prima volta in un contesto unitario, come ?? corretto aspettarsi per un primo approccio allo studio dei sistemi continui formati da un grandissimo numero di particelle. In particolare vengono presentate la meccanica e la termodinamica dei fluidi, liquidi e aeriformi, mettendone in luce gli aspetti legati alla fisica statistica, che viene qui introdotta assieme alle altre due discipline, pi?? tradizionali. Nonostante questo approccio unitario, l'opera pu?? essere comunque fruita selezionando le singole parti di interesse. Ognuna di queste ?? introdotta da brevi cenni storici e corredata da numerosi complementi, raccolti nella quarta parte del presente volume |

| Title | Statistical Mechanics : An Introductory Graduate Course |
| Author(s) | Berlinsky, A. J;Harris, A. B |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XXI, 602 p. 169 illus., 28 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In a comprehensive treatment of Statistical Mechanics from thermodynamics through the renormalization group, this book serves as the core text for a full-year graduate course in statistical mechanics at either the Masters or Ph.D. level. Each chapter contains numerous exercises, and several chapters treat special topics which can be used as the basis for student projects. The concept of scaling is introduced early and used extensively throughout the text. At the heart of the book is an extensive treatment of mean field theory, from the simplest decoupling approach, through the density matrix formalism, to self-consistent classical and quantum field theory as well as exact solutions on the Cayley tree. Proceeding beyond mean field theory, the book discusses exact mappings involving Potts models, percolation, self-avoiding walks and quenched randomness, connecting various athermal and thermal models. Computational methods such as series expansions and Monte Carlo simulations are discussed, along with exact solutions to the 1D quantum and 2D classical Ising models. The renormalization group formalism is developed, starting from real-space RG and proceeding through a detailed treatment of Wilson???s epsilon expansion. Finally the subject of Kosterlitz-Thouless systems is introduced from a historical perspective and then treated by methods due to Anderson, Kosterlitz, Thouless and Young. Altogether, this comprehensive, up-to-date, and engaging text offers an ideal package for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses or for use in self study |

| Title | Open Quantum Systems : Dynamics of Nonclassical Evolution |
| Author(s) | Banerjee, Subhashish |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2018. |
| Description | XVIII, 278 p. 28 illus., 17 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book discusses the elementary ideas and tools needed for open quantum systems in a comprehensive manner. The emphasis is given to both the traditional master equation as well as the functional (path) integral approaches. It discusses the basic paradigm of open systems, the harmonic oscillator and the two-level system in detail. The traditional topics of dissipation and tunneling, as well as the modern field of quantum information, find a prominent place in the book. Assuming a basic background of quantum and statistical mechanics, this book will help readers familiarize with the basic tools of open quantum systems. Open quantum systems is the study of quantum dynamics of the system of interest, taking into account the effects of the ambient environment. It is ubiquitous in the sense that any system could be envisaged to be surrounded by its environment which could naturally exert its influence on it. Open quantum systems allows for a systematic understanding of irreversible processes such as decoherence and dissipation, of the essence in order to have a correct understanding of realistic quantum dynamics and also for possible implementations. This would be essential for a possible development of quantum technologies |

| Title | The History of Research on Chemical Periodic Processes |
| Author(s) | Pechenkin, Alexander |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIV, 93 p. 1 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers a survey of the historic development of selected areas of chemistry and chemical physics, discussing in detail the European, American and Russian approaches to the development of chemistry. Other key topics include the kinetics and non-linear thermodynamics of chemical reactions and mathematical modeling, which have found new applications in the theory of dynamical systems. The first observations of the periodicity of chemical reactions were lost in the mist of time. In the second half of the 19th century, the phenomenon of chemical periodicity was studied in relation to electrochemistry, solutions and colloids. Discovered in the late 19th century, Liesegang rings are still enigmatic and remain attractive for researchers. However, the discovery of the Belousov???Zhabotinsky reaction marked the successful culmination of the efforts to find a true chemical oscillatory reaction. The book investigates chemical phenomena that were neglected in the past, but have been rediscovered, placing them into a new conceptual framework. For example, it notes that William Bray, who discovered the first oscillatory homogeneous reaction in 1921, was influenced by the first bio-mathematicians who predicted chemical oscillations in homogeneous systems |
