Description
Complexity and Complex Chemo-Electric Systems presents an analysis and synthesis of chemo-electric systems, providing insights on transports in electrolytes, electrode reactions, electrocatalysis, electrochemical membranes, and various aspects of heterogeneous systems and electrochemical engineering. The book describes the properties of complexity and complex chemo-electric systems as the consequence of formulations, definitions, tools, solutions and results that are often consistent with the best performance of the system. The book handles cybernetics, systems theory and advanced contemporary techniques such as optimal control, neural networks and stochastic optimizations (adaptive random search, genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing).
A brief part of the book is devoted to issues such as various definitions of complexity, hierarchical structures, self-organization examples, special references, and historical issues. This resource complements Sieniutycz’ recently published book, Complexity and Complex Thermodynamic Systems, with its inclusion of complex chemo-electric systems in which complexities, emergent properties and self-organization play essential roles.
Key Features
- Covers the theory and applications of complex chemo-electric systems through modeling, analysis, synthesis and optimization
- Provides a clear presentation of the applications of transport theory to electrolyte solutions, heterogeneous electrochemical systems, membranes, electro-kinetic phenomena and interface processes
- Includes numerous explanatory graphs and drawings that illustrate the properties and complexities in complex chemo-electric systems
- Written by an experienced expert in the field of advanced methods in thermodynamics and related aspects of macroscopic physics
Readership
Students at university and researchers and (chemical) engineers in industry working on applied electrochemistry and electrochemical energy sources. Researchers in industry involved in electrolysis, linked with chemical or other processes, e.g. chemical transformation or purification of outcoming streams
