English for Materials Science prepares students of Materials Science and Engineering to study effectively in English at university level.The book includes passages covering terminology from the basic areas in the field as these are covered in an introductory university course and helps the student consolidate specialized language vocabulary through a wide range of exercises.It includes listening exercises based on videos with relevant topics.It prov...

This guide covers Physics Laws, Concepts, Variables, and Equations including Sample Problems, Common Pitfalls and Helpful Hints.

Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere–Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for...

This book is the fourth stage of our exploration of Quantum Mechanics in the Everyone’s Guide Series.We first review waves and particle-wave duality. We'll revisit the Uncertaintly Principle, and discuss the Two-Slit Experiment in depth.Then, we delve deeper into wavefunctions and explore more Quantum Mechanical mysteries: barrier penetration and spin. We’ll discover how barrier penetration allows particles to “pass through” walls, enables radioactivity, makes star shine, a...

We are living in perilous times, according to a significant anxious portion of the world's population. We are being told that our planet is in a path that leads to uncontrolled warming from the sun, because we have been burning fossil fuels at dangerously high rates for too long now. The critical connection established by a vocal segment of the scientific community is the presence of ever-increasing levels of carbon dioxide gas from various energy/materials-producing operations, or just fr...

Introduction to Practical Fluid Flow provides information on the the solution of practical fluid flow and fluid transportation problems through the application of fluid dynamics. Emphasising the solution of practical operating and design problems, the text concentrates on computer-based methods throughout, in keeping with trends in engineering. With a focus on the flow of slurries and non-Newtonian fluids, it will be useful for and engineering students who have to deal with practical fluid...

This engaging and beautifully written book gives an authoritative but accessible account of some of the most exciting and unexpected recent developments in theoretical physics.– Professor Lionel J Mason, Mathematical Institute, University of OxfordString theory is often paraded as a theory of everything, but there are a large number of untold stories in which string theory gives us insight into other areas of physics. Here, Bill Spence does an excellent job of expl...

First Published in 1986. This work should be considered as a simple introduction to nuclear engineering. It covers and somewhat enlarges upon a set of courses that the author’s currently give at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale of Lausanne, Switzerland.

Phase transitions take place when a substance changes from one physical state to another, and they are of fundamental importance in science and engineering with applications ranging from superconductivity to climate science. This Student's Guide coherently examines the underlying dynamics of phase transitions, beginning with a detailed description of phase diagrams and their graphical interpretation, before introducing the van der Waals equations of state. It progresses to more advanced to...

How does light travel? The slit experiment; how do the bands form? How has gravity managed to deceive scientist that light is wave and a particle at the same time? How does a magnifying glass work; and how may a plant use this effect to set a forest on fire? This book answers not discuss these questions and more on how light travels and the cause of the arms you see in stars from a distance or numerous spikes you see in the halo of a flood light when not too far away. This article addresse...

Via the use of the orbital laws established in Part One; this theory shall guesstimate the arrangements of protons and neutrons and explain why some elements are radioactive while others aren't. The logic of the theory will also prove that anti-gravity can be made in a lab.
