Modeling of Column Apparatus Processes

This book presents a new approach for the modeling of chemical and interphase mass transfer processes in industrial column apparatuses, using convection-diffusion and average-concentration models. The convection-diffusion type models are used for a qualitative analysis of the processes and to assess the main, small and slight physical effects, and then reject the slight effects. As a result,…

State-of-the-Art and Future Directions of Smart Learning

The rapid development and popularization of information technology significantly increase the speed of the generation of human knowledge, which has brought fundamental impacts on the modes of education and the methods of instruction. The traditional ways of learning are facing a revolution to adapt to the requirements of the information age. In order to facilitate easy, engaging and effecti…

Model and Data Engineering

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Model and Data Engineering, MEDI 2015, held in Rhodes, Greece, in September 2015. The 18 full papers and 9 short papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections such as modeling and meta modeling; ontology-bas…

Elementary Numerical Mathematics for Programmers and Engineers

This book covers the basics of numerical methods, while avoiding the definition-theorem-proof style and instead focusing on numerical examples and simple pseudo-codes. The book is divided into ten chapters. Starting with floating number calculations and continuing up to ordinary differential equations, including "Euler backwards". The final chapter discusses practical error estimations. Exe…

Methane Combustion over Lanthanum-based Perovskite Mixed Oxides

This book presents current research into the catalytic combustion of methane using perovskite-type oxides (ABO3). Catalytic combustion has been developed as a method of promoting efficient combustion with minimum pollutant formation as compared to conventional catalytic combustion. Recent theoretical and experimental studies have recommended that noble metals supported on (ABO3) with well-order…

Metaheuristics and Optimization in Civil Engineering

This timely book deals with a current topic, i.e. the applications of metaheuristic algorithms, with a primary focus on optimization problems in civil engineering. The first chapter offers a concise overview of different kinds of metaheuristic algorithms, explaining their advantages in solving complex engineering problems that cannot be effectively tackled by traditional methods, and citing the…
