WETTING THEORY AND EXPERIMENTS 2 VOL SET (HB 2019) Hardcover

Wetting: Theory and Experiments is a collection of research papers by Professor Eli Ruckenstein and his colleagues, focusing on both the theoretical and experimental study of how liquids spread on solid surfaces. The book is organized into six chapters, each with a brief introductory overview. Instead of following a timeline, the selected papers are arranged logically based on the specific wetting characteristics they explore. The book delves into nanoscale wetting phenomena, such as nanodrops on surfaces and liquid behavior in nanoslits, using microscopic density functional theory. It also examines the dynamics of fluids on solid surfaces using hydrodynamic equations. Complementing the theoretical work, the book presents experimental studies of wetting relevant to various practical applications
