The book can now be ‘pre-ordered’ and will be available in stores starting in February 2025 Abstract Hydrogen, the first and most abundant element in our universe, is an essential zero-carbon fuel in humanity’s race against catastrophic climate change. However, very few have access to cryogenic systems for energy-dense hydrogen to gain the necessary experience

Professor Muhammad Sahimi at the University of Southern California introduces his new publication as follow: “A fifty year problem was solved Fifty one years ago it was proposed that the conductivity of composites that are mixtures of conducting and non-conducting elements follow a power law near the conductivity threshold, i.e., the volume fraction of the
Book description Core analysis is an essential source of quantitative data on reservoir properties. These data are used for modeling the distribution and flow of oil and gas reservoirs, CO2 and hydrogen storage, and flow behavior in geothermal reservoirs. While several books cover core analysis for practitioners, this book fills a gap through introducing laboratory equipment and
The Entropy Production — as Cornerstone in Applied Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics — Dedicated to Professor Signe Kjelstrup on the Occasion of Her 75th Birthday The purpose of the Special Issue is to demonstrate the strength and importance of the theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, with its fundamental basis in entropy production, when used to improve the understanding
