Opis: Pore Scale Phenomena : Frontiers in Energy and Environment - Robert Kee, Hossein Kazemi, Tissa Illangasekare

The field of pore scale phenomena is now emerging as one of the frontiers of science and many engineering disciplines. Transport phenomena in the subsurface of the earth play key roles in the energy and environmental domains. For example, the shale gas and oil boom is revolutionizing the world's energy portfolio. Pore scale phenomena from the nanoscale to mesoscale dominate the extraction of these resources. Similarly in the environmental domain, pore storage and pore-scale physics affect the availability of water resources and protecting its quality. Water flow and vapor transport in the pores near the land surface is critical to understand soil water evaporation in the context of local and global hydrologic cycle affecting climate and climate change.Pore scale phenomena similarly play critical roles in the domain of materials science and biology. For example, many energy devices and membrane technologies are controlled by the physical and chemical properties of the pores. Identifying and analyzing the properties of these pores has emerged as a frontier of characterization science.This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the fascinating interrelationship between engineering and science. The authors and contributors are recognized experts from the faculty of the Colorado School of Mines, Northwestern and Stanford. This book will appeal to earth and environmental scientists, materials scientists, physicists and chemists.Earth Sciences: Subsurface Pores, Physics of Flow in Petroleum Reservoirs; Rock Physics; Surface Forces; Microfluidic Analogs; Hydrates in Porous Media; Hydrogeology: Moving from Laboratory to the Field; Chemical Reactions; Multiphase Systems; Porosity in Reactive Systems; Thermo-Hydrological Processes in Enhanced Geothermal; Materials Science, Energy, Devices and Biology: Pore Scale Phenomena and Challenges in Energy Research and Technology; Structural Characterization; New Materials; Membranes for Water Treatment; Membranes for CO2 Capture; Pore Chemistry and Catalysis; Blood Flow in Interstitial Spaces;
