Thermal Plasmas

This volume is dedicated to the recent progress in plasma science and technology. The chapters have been written by active specialists worldwide.

This book presents theoretical and experimental aspects of the laser ablation phenomenon for processing material including pulsed laser deposition of thin films, laser surface modification, laser machining and laser nanoparticle formation.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of plasma science and technology (PST), including information on different types of plasma, basic interactions of plasma with organic materials, plasma-based energy devices, low-temperature plasma for complex systems, and much more.

This book assists in the exchange of research and progress outcomes concerned with the latest issues in thermophysical properties (TPPs) of complex liquids research, development, and production. This book enables global researchers to tackle the challenges that continue to generate cost-effective TPPs and the latest understanding in the development of complex materials and the collaboration of modern thermophysical generating technologies. It provides a platform for different regional authors to exchange scientific knowledge and generate enthusiasm for science and technology.

This book covers mainly numerical modeling of heat transfer and analysis on laser beam, evaporator coils, shell-and-tube condenser, two phase flow, nanofluids, complex fluids, and on phase change.

This book covers a wide range of topics such as porous ceramic structure and properties, preparation, simulation and fabrication, sintering, applications for bioceramics, sensors, magnetics and energy saving.

Observations and physical concepts are interwoven to give basic explanations of phenomena and also show the limitations in these explanations and identify some fundamental questions.
