Advanced Materials-Based Fluids for Thermal Systems focuses on new advanced materials called nanofluids that can be used to maximize heat transfer rates by adding nanoparticles (nanocomposites) into conventional heat transfer fluids. This comprehensive resource covers fundamentals, brief history, definitions, literature review, an introduction to thermophysical properties, and heat transfer characteristics with mathematical models, techniques, performance-affecting factors, applications, and challenges of hybrid nanofluids. The book includes thermal characteristics, measurement, design, and applications of nanoparticles, as well as up-to-date advances in thermal engineering. Sections cover basics then advance to major topics with mathematical models, schematic diagrams, and summaries of experimental work of different researchers. The book also summarizes previous research and contemporary advances on nanofluids worldwide and introduces new techniques, resolving existing problems, and includes tactics on the implementation in practical applications.

A title in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Designer Drugs: Chemistry, Analysis, Regulation, Toxicology, Epidemiology & Legislation of New Psychoactive Substances presents both an overview and a guide to techniques for designer drug analysis. Proliferation of the synthesis and use of designer drugs is a serious public health problem with social, economic, and legal implications. Whether abuse is studied at the population level or the individual level, researchers need both background and highly detailed technical information on specific drugs and drug classes in order to combat the proliferation and highly damaging consequences of these substances. Author Roy Gerona provides a comprehensive discussion that emphasizes the potential threat to society, presents the ongoing challenges confronting the various laboratory approaches to detection and identification of new chemical entities, and informs the development of improved analytical solutions for use in legislation, law enforcement, and treatment.Designer Drugs: Chemistry, Analysis, Regulation, Toxicology, Epidemiology & Legislation of New Psychoactive Substances offers an introduction to the field and a source of information on specific drugs, drug effects, and analytical tools to a wide audience for anyone studying or engaging in designer drug analysis. Analytical and medical chemists, pharmacologist, toxicologists, and students, researchers, and policy makers in the fields of drug abuse, medicine, public health, and forensics will greatly benefit from this essential text.

Synthesis of Aziridines and Oxaziridines from Imines describes both new and old methods for the synthesis of aziridines from imines and covers an important and rapidly growing branch of heterocyclic chemistry. Readers will have access to different methods and information allowing them to evaluate which method is most suitable for particular cases. Several important advances in this area have been witnessed in recent years and discovering efficient novel methods for the synthesis of aziridines has been very active field of research. Its powerful synthetic utility has been described by an overpowering amount of documentation on the approaches for the formation of aziridine.The smallest possible saturated azaheterocycle, aziridine, is well-known to organic chemists for its tremendous potential in pharmaceutical chemistry and organic synthesis. The general biological importance of aziridines is proven by the fact that they found several uses as subunits in pharmacologically active compounds such as antitumor agents, enzyme inhibitors, and antibiotics. Although aziridines are highly reactive, this framework occurs in many synthetic compounds and the natural products of biological interest also contain aziridine skeleton in their structures.

High pressures play a more and more important role in modern technology. Examples are the supercritical fluid extraction of medical drugs and dyes from biological material, the handling of compressed or liquefied gases (including natural gas or hydrogen), the operation of modern thermal power plants, and various technical processes for controlled particle formation. High-Pressure Fluid Phase Equilibria, Second Edition enables understanding of the complicated phase behavior that fluid or fluid mixtures (liquids, gases, or supercritical phases) can exhibit at elevated pressures. The underlying thermodynamic equations are explained, and robust algorithms for the computation of such equilibria (including solid–fluid equilibria) are proposed.Since the publication of the first edition of this book, there have been many new developments, for instance, differential equation methods for the computation of phase equilibria, accurate numerical differentiation, and high-precision equations of state (e.g., the GERG model). Moreover, more detail and explanation has been added on important topics that were only briefly examined in the original book to better assist the reader, such as expansion processes and chemical reactions).The book remains invaluable as a single resource for grasping the intricacies of fluid phase behavior. It enables the readers to write or improve their own computer programs for the calculation of phase equilibria. It will appeal to graduate students of chemical engineering and university research staff involved in chemical engineering of supercritical fluids or the physical chemistry of fluids; the book can also serve as the basis of lectures or advanced students’ seminars.
