Adsorption and transport at the nanoscale.0415327016 Adsorption and transport at the nanoscale. Ed. by Nick Quirke. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. / Taylor & Francis 2006 186 pages $99.95 Hardcover TA418 "Material with nanoporous materials," notes Quirke (chemistry, Imperial College, London, UK) in his preface, "are used widely in industry as adsorbents, particularly for applications where selective adsorption of one fluid component from a mixture is important." He further observes that nanostructured materials are interest for use in nanofluidics devices. Here he presents nine articles on computational methods and applications from the field. Specific topics include modeling gas adsorption in slit-pores using Monte Carlo simulation Monte Carlo Simulation A problem solving technique used to approximate the probability of certain outcomes by running multiple trial runs, called simulations, using random variables. , effect of confinement on melting in slit-shaped pores, synthesis and characterization of templated mesoporous materials using molecular simulation, adsorption/condensation of xenon xenon (zē`nŏn) [Gr.,=strange], gaseous chemical element; symbol Xe; at. no. 54; at. wt. 131.29; m.p. −111.9°C;; b.p. −107.1°C;; density 5.86 grams per liter at STP; valence usually 0. in mesopores having a microporous texture or a surface roughness, molecular dynamics simulations for 1:1 solvent primitive model electrolyte solutions, computer simulation of isothermal i·so·ther·mal adj. Of, relating to, or indicating equal or constant temperatures. isothermal, isothermic having the same temperature. mass transport in graphite slit spores, and simulation study of sorption sorption /sorp·tion/ (sorp´shun) the process or state of being sorbed; absorption or adsorption. sorp·tion n. Adsorption or absorption. of CO2 and N2 with application to the characterization of carbon adsorbents. ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
