Thermodiffusion in Multicomponent Mixtures presents the computational approaches that are employed in the study of thermodiffusion in various types of mixtures, namely, hydrocarbons, polymers, water-alcohol, molten metals, and so forth. We present a detailed formalism of these methods that are based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics or algebraic correlations or principles of the artificial neural network. The book will serve as single complete reference to understand the theoretical derivations of thermodiffusion models and its application to different types of multi-component mixtures. An exhaustive discussion of these is used to give a complete perspective of the principles and the key factors that govern the thermodiffusion process.

This book discusses geopolymer concrete, an innovative and sustainable alternative to traditional Portland cement concrete. Geopolymer concrete is synthesized through the chemical reaction between industrial byproducts, such as fly ash or blast furnace slag, and alkaline activators. It offers environmental sustainability by utilizing industrial waste materials as its main components, reducing carbon footprint and resource depletion. The production process of geopolymer concrete further contributes to its eco-friendly profile as it can be cured at ambient temperatures or with minimal heat input, significantly lowering energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The chemistry of geopolymer involves the dissolution of aluminosilicate materials in a highly alkaline environment, followed by the condensation and reorganization of silica and alumina species to form a three-dimensional network structure. The research on geopolymer concrete is important for several reasons. First, it provides a sustainable alternative to traditional Portland cement concrete, which has significant environmental impacts due to its high carbon dioxide emissions, resource depletion, and energy consumption. Second, geopolymer concrete offers enhanced durability and resistance to chemical attacks, making it a suitable material for various construction applications. Lastly, the use of industrial byproducts in geopolymer concrete production reduces waste and conserves natural resources, promoting circular economy principles in the construction industry.

This book is devoted to the problem of modeling and controlling a 3D dynamical system consisting of a single-wheeled vehicle, namely a unicycle and the cyclist (unicyclist) riding it. The equations of motion are derived with the aid of the rarely used Boltzmann–Hamel Equations in Matrix Form, which are based on quasi-velocities. The Matrix Form allows Hamel coefficients to be automatically generated, and eliminates all the difficulties associated with determining these quantities. The equations of motion aresolved by means of Wolfram Mathematica. To more faithfully represent the unicyclist as part of the model, the model is extended according to the main principles of biomechanics. The impact of the pneumatic tire is investigated using the Pacejka Magic Formula model including experimental determination of the stiffness coefficient.

A total of 6232 matches from 5 consecutive seasons officiated across the English Premier League, Spanish LaLiga, Italian Serie A as well as the German Bundesliga was studied. It is envisioned that the findings in this book could be useful in recognising the activity pattern of top-class referees, that is non-trivial for the stakeholders in devising strategies to further enhance the performances of referees as well as empower talent identification experts with pertinent information for mapping out future high-performance referees.
