About this book

Thermodiffusion describes the coupling between a temperature gradient and a resulting mass flux. Traditionally, the focus has been on simple fluids, and it is now extending to more complex systems such as electrolytes, polymers, colloidal dispersions and magnetic fluids. This book widens the scope even further by including applications in ionic solids. Written as a set of tutorial reviews, it will be useful to experts, nonspecialist researchers and postgraduate students alike.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"Any physicist or chemist with general interest in transport phenomena but without any idea about nonisothermal transport should start reading this book … . The present book is a carefully edited collection of conference papers which have been presented in 2000 in Bayreuth … . it summarizes the present state of research and knowledge in a field which will offer an up-to-date-survey of both theoretical and experimental studies to interested readers with a solid background in either thermodynamics, statistical and fluid mechanics or transport theory." (J. Janek, Zeitschrift für physikalische Chemie, Vol. 217 (761-762), 2003)
