Scale Formation in Heat Exchangers

This book brings together a wide range of current research to create a holistic understanding of fouling. It draws upon practical and laboratory experiences spanning many years. While offering an overview of various fouling types, the book's emphasis is on crystallization fouling, a facet seldom addressed in existing literature. Furthermore, this book goes beyond theory by providing practical examples for heat exchanger design, incorporating the pivotal consideration of fouling's impact. It focuses especially on calcium salts such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate.Fouling formation represents a ubiquitous challenge across diverse industrial sectors, spanning oil, gas, petrochemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, and power generation. This encroaching fouling, prevalent within heating equipment, not only jeopardizes the integrity of machinery but also significantly saps energy resources. Consequently, extensive research efforts have been undertaken to comprehensively explore fouling formation through both experimental and theoretical avenues across various heating apparatuses. The book's mission is to facilitate a broader comprehension of crystallization fouling research, revealing the various factors influencing this form of fouling. Additionally, it critiques prior research endeavors, identifying their strengths and weaknesses while pinpointing potential avenues for future investigation

Ordinary Differential Equations: Linear and Nonlinear Systems, Dynamical Systems and Applications

The theory of ordinary differential equations is addressed in detail in this textbook, and is split into three sections: linear equations and systems, the general theory of nonlinear systems, and the theory of dynamical systems. These topics can be taken together or studied independently.In addition to standard materials on the theory of ordinary differential equations, this textbook specialises in covering non-standard materials related to this theory including the theory of linear equation and systems with holomorphic coefficients; Kneser's theorem on the complexity of the set of solutions in the absence of uniqueness; the method of sub- and supersolutions for cooperative systems; and a detailed construction of the global bifurcation diagrams for some parametric classes of one-dimensional boundary value problems, which are pivotal for applications of the theory.This is a self-contained, rigorous treatment of ordinary differential equations that is complemented by a variety of illustrating examples of the theory in practice. Many of these examples are related to models in Physics and Applied Sciences, making them suitable for students in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematical Biology, Economics and Ecology as well as in Mathematics. Each chapter contains exercises to test students' understanding of the topic and concludes with some historical notes and further discussions.

Nitrogen macromolecules for environmental applications

This book proposes eco-compatible solutions to reduce the environmental impact of wastewater by developing nitrogenous macromolecules for environmental applications, such as the selective extraction of metal cations by functionalized tetra-pyrazolic macrocycles; the use of pyrazolic macrocycles as antibacterial agents against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria; the selective chemodetection of metal cations by a water-soluble dye carrying a bi-pyrazole receptor, and the eco-design of pyrazolone-derived azo dyes catalyzed by magnetite-based nanoparticles coated with a silica layer functionalized by an acidic ionic liquid.
