Download or read book The Liquid State and Its Electrical Properties written by E.E. Kunhardt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the various disciplines of science advance, they proliferate and tend to become more esoteric. Barriers of specialized terminologies form, which cause scientists to lose contact with their colleagues, and differences in points-of-view emerge which hinder the unification of knowledge among the various disciplines, and even within a given discipline. As a result, the scientist, and especially the student, is in many instances offered fragmented glimpses of subjects that are funda mentally synthetic and that should be treated in their own right. Such seems to be the case of the liquid state. Unlike the other states of matter -- gases, solids, and plasmas -- the liquid state has not yet received unified treatment, probably because it has been the least explored and remains the least understood state of matter. Occasionally, events occur which help remove some of the barriers that separate scientists and disciplines alike. Such an event was the ASI on The Liquid State held this past July at the lovely Hotel Tivoli Sintra, in the picturesque town of Sintra, Portugal, approximately 30 km northwest of Lisbon. Since this broad a subject could not be covered in one Institute, the focus of the ASI was on a theme that provided a common thread of understanding for all in attendance -- the Electrical Proper ties of the Liquid State.

Download or read book Physics of Dielectrics for the Engineer written by Roland Coelho and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics of Dielectrics for the Engineer is a systematic attempt to clarify and correlate advanced concepts underlying the physics of dielectrics. It reviews the basics of electrostatics, the different models for the polarizability of atoms and molecules, and the macroscopic permittivity. It also discusses the behavior of matter in an alternating field in relation to complex permittivity, the interactions between field and matter, dissipative effects under high electric fields, the wide-gap semiconductor model, the types of charge carriers, and the main disruptive processes. Organized into three parts encompassing 12 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the physical concepts involved in the behavior of insulating materials subjected to high electric fields. It then explores the potential of a group of charges, and dipoles induced in an applied field. The book explains statistical theories of dipole orientation in an applied field and theories relating molecular and macroscopic quantities. The propagation of an electromagnetic wave, dipole relaxation of defects in crystal lattices, and space-charge polarization and relaxation are also discussed. The book explains the uni-dimensional polar lattice, intrinsic and impurity conduction in wide-gap semiconductors, thermal runaway, and collision breakdown. Many problems with corresponding solutions are included to assist the reader. This book will benefit electrical engineers, as well as electrical engineering students, scientists, and technicians.

Download or read book Electrohydrodynamics written by Antonio Castellanos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to provide, both the non-specialist and the specialist in EHD, with the ability to extract meaningful information from his/her experimental data and acquire a good physical understanding, by applying the ideas presented in this book. In addition to providing the scientific background, it is also intended to take the reader to the frontiers of research in this field, so they may go, without effort, into the specialized literature. This book may be considered as complementary to the excellent treatment of EHD made in the classical book "Continuum Electromechanics” by Melcher, in that care has been taken to avoid overlapping of the subjects. In case a topic is treated in both texts, the results presented in the book by Melcher serve as an introduction to the more advanced treatment presented in this book.
