Transport phenomena have wide application. For example, in solid state physics, the motion and interaction of electrons, holes and phonons are studied under "transport phenomena". Another example is in biomedical engineering, where some transport phenomena of interest are thermoregulation, perfusion, and microfluidics. In chemical engineering ...
A familiar example is in soap films: the Marangoni effect stabilizes soap films. Another instance of the Marangoni effect appears in the behavior of convection cells, the so-called Bénard cells . One important application of the Marangoni effect is the use for drying silicon wafers after a wet processing step during the manufacture of ...
A transport coefficient measures how rapidly a perturbed system returns to equilibrium. The transport coefficients occur in transport phenomenon with transport laws J k = γ k X k {\displaystyle \mathbf {J} _{k}=\gamma _{k}\mathbf {X} _{k}}
Truskey is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed research publications, a biomedical engineering textbook entitled Transport Phenomena in Biological Systems, [4] over 6 book chapters, and over 180 research abstracts and presentations. His textbook has received positive feedback, with reviewers stating "While there are several other excellent ...
The spin Hall effect (SHE) is a transport phenomenon predicted by Russian physicists Mikhail I. Dyakonov and Vladimir I. Perel in 1971. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It consists of the appearance of spin accumulation on the lateral surfaces of an electric current -carrying sample, the signs of the spin directions being opposite on the opposing boundaries.
The Hawthorne effect is a type of human behavior reactivity in which individuals modify an aspect of their behavior in response to their awareness of being observed. [1] [2] The effect was discovered in the context of research conducted at the Hawthorne Western Electric plant; however, some scholars think the descriptions are fictitious.
Transport of material in stagnant fluid or across streamlines of a fluid in a laminar flow occurs by molecular diffusion. Two adjacent compartments separated by a partition, containing pure gases A or B may be envisaged. Random movement of all molecules occurs so that after a period molecules are found remote from their original positions.
Nursing research is research that provides evidence used to support nursing practices. Nursing, as an evidence-based area of practice, has been developing since the time of Florence Nightingale to the present day, where many nurses now work as researchers based in universities as well as in the health care setting.
