This book deals with the chemical and physical properties of cements and concretes and their relation to the practical problems that arise in manufacturing and use. Much attention is given to the suitability of materials, to the conditions under which concrete may deteriorate, and to the precautionary or remedial measures that can be adapted.

Physical chemistry is a quantitative subject that requires extensive problem-solving and lengthy calculations. This book and CD-ROM brings the computational power of Mathematica to this discipline. It discusses different kinds of problems encountered in various areas of physical chemistry and includes many worked examples and problems. The accompanying CD-ROM includes over 150 Mathematica programs which allow students and researchers to perform vital calculations, data fitting, two-dimensional plotting, contour drawings, and simulations.

This comprehensive, single-source reference presents both established and emerging chemical state imaging methods useful on distance scales ranging from individual atoms to millimeters.

This timely work describes the solubility, solution properties, thermodynamics, miscibility, solubilization, mesomorphic character, and other physical properties of mixed surfactant systems-presenting both theoretical analysis and a wide range of practical applications in easy-to-understand language.
Provides nearly 600 schematic drawings, graphs, tables, and equations to clarify complex and abstract constructs!

Providing a definitive state-of-the-art review of the models used in applied thermodynamics, this single-source reference discusses all aspects of thermodynamic modeling relevant to the chemical industry-including activity coefficient models, equations of state, mixture group contribution methods, and specialized procedures for polymer and electrolyte solutions.
