This text is designed for a streamlined two-term transport phenomena course. The first part of the book takes students through the balance equation in the context of diffusive transport. Each chapter adds a term to the balance equation, highlighting the effects of that addition on the physical behavior of the system and the underlying mathematical description. The second half of the book builds on the balance equation description of diffusive transport by introducing convective transport terms, focusing on partial rather than ordinary differential equations.

When developing a high performance supercapacitor, it is generally desirable to design the geometry and morphology of supercapacitor electrodes with fully utilized surface area and well-defined pore structures, which can lead to faster ion movement contacting the electroactive materials and promote faradic redox reactions. This book proposes preparation methodology of various onedimensional metal oxide nanostructures used as electrode overlays and methods by which the conductivity of the stoichiometric metal oxide can be increased.

Shutdown and Turnaround Management
The Petroleum Institute, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Written and edited by pioneers in the field, this text elucidates recent advancements in polyolefin nanocomposites, shown to be commercially viable as nanocomposites across a number of fields, including biomedical science, aerospace, and automotive engineering. It focuses on theoretical models to understand the organic-inorganic interfaces in polyolefins and also provides a detailed description of the recently developed models for property prediction of these nanocomposites. It concentrates on developments with not only the aluminosilicate fillers, but also with equally important fillers like layer double hydroxides and nanotubes.
With large amounts of revenue at stake, process industries are focusing more on turnaround management as they strive to lengthen the interval between turnarounds. This book outlines a strategy to execute optimized shutdown and turnaround by changing plant operating conditions and inspection techniques. Because shutdown cost for a petroleum refinery is normally 30 percent higher than annual maintenance costs, this book details how to manage the more favorable turnaround option. The author explores different aspects, including philosophy, planning and scheduling, estimation, contractor management, and execution.
