The book logically develops through careful presentation of relevant thermodynamic and kinetic theories and models of solidification occurring in a variety of materials. Major topics encompass the liquid-state, liquid-solid transformations, chemical macro- and microsegregation, purification by fractional crystallization and zone refining, solid-liquid interfaces, polyphase freezing, and rapid solidification processing. Solid-liquid interfaces are discussed quantitatively both as sharp and diffuse entities, with supporting differential geometric descriptions. The book offers:\n\n• Detailed mathematical examples throughout to guide readers\n• Applications of solidification and crystal growth methodologies for preparation and purification of metals, ceramics, polymers and semiconductors\n• Appendices providing supporting information on special topics covered in the chapters.\n\nReaders in materials, metallurgical, chemical, and mechanical engineering will find this to be a useful source on the subjects of solidification and crystal growth. Chemists, physicists, and geologists concerned with melting\/freezing phenomena will also find much of value in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-10-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489981851\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-7344-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 520\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47674956906636,"sku":"9781489981851","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489981851.jpg?v=1776539094","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781489981851","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
