Critical to industry, these properties are fundamental to, for example, the development of fossil fuels, carbon sequestration and alternative energy sources.</p> <p>This unique and comprehensive account will provide the experimental and theoretical background of near-equilibrium transport properties which provide the background when investigating industrial applications. Coverage includes new experimental techniques and how existing techniques have developed, new fluids eg molten metals, dense fluids, and critical enhancements of transport properties of pure substances. </p> <p>Practitioners and researchers in chemistry and engineering will benefit from this state of the art record of recent advances in the field of transport properties.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Published under the auspices of both IUPAC and the International Association for Transport Properties (IATP) this book describes the advances both in measurement techniques and the application of theory to the prediction and correlation of transport properties. The practical use of some theories to predict the values of transport properties of industrially relevant fluids is also discussed. The book provides a state-of-the-art reference text that discusses the growing importance of the field. An international team of distinguished experts was assembled to provide authoritative chapters on all research areas that have witnessed recent major developments. This reference text will serve as a source book for researchers and practitioners in the field of transport properties of fluids whether in academia or industry. The topics covered are of relevance to chemical, mechanical and petroleum engineers and to chemists and physicist.</p> <p>Experimental Thermodynamics is a series of nine volumes, including this, that have summarized the state of knowledge with respect to experimental techniques and the theoretical basis for the correlation and prediction of both the equilibrium thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids. Volumes X and XI will describe non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the application of the content of volumes IX and X, respectively.</p>
