Thermodynamics of Phase Changes (Eurotherm Seminar 84), May 24-27, 2009, Namur, Belgium

Description

Phase changes are ubiquitous both in nature and
technological applications, and their study has grown
over the last years to be a large and fruitful subject.
Nowadays phase changes constitute a major domain
of application in non-equilibrium thermodynamics
and statistical physics. The present EUROTHERM
seminar is devoted to recent developments in
thermodynamics of phase changes and their applica-
tion to modern engineering practice and emerging
technologies, such as heat transfer equipment,
semiconductors, optoelectronics, propulsion devices,
nuclear plants and others. Topics of interest include:
1) Non-equilibrium thermodynamics
2) Heat and mass transfer across interfaces
3) Boiling, evaporation, and condensation
4) Nucleation and crystallization
5) Defects in single crystals
6) Morphological instabilities
7) Fast moving interfaces
8) Thin films and contact lines
9) Hydrodynamic instabilities with phase changes
10) Phase-Field Theories

Description complémentaire

The series of EUROTHERM Seminars established by
the EUROTHERM's committee have become a popular
forum for high-level scientific and technical
interchange of ideas in a wide range of specialized
topics. While the presentation and publication of
papers at the Seminars are encouraged, the primary
aim is to stimulate discussion and liaison between
specialized groups.
