Transport Processes in Multicomponent Plasma is a revised and updated version of the original Russian edition. The text examines transport phenomena in multicomponent plasma and important issues such as partially ionized gases, molecular gas mixtures and methods of calculating kinetic coefficients. ..

The book introduces the reader to key aspects in mathematical modeling of batch processes and presents techniques to overcome the computational complexity in order to yield models that are solvable in near real-time. It demonstrates how batch processes can be analyzed, synthesized, and designed opti..

This book attempts to see whether the two worlds can be combined. Where the two worlds collide, science is often feeble and unsatisfying. It has nothing to say about the way that everyone is conscious and self-aware, and that many people see ghosts, communicate with spiritual entities, have psychic ..
