The robustness of a system is a property that pervades all aspects of Nature. The ability of a system to adapt itself to perturbations due to internal and external agents, to agin...
Selective liquid membranes have been traditionally employed for liquid/liquid and gas/liquid mass transfer in a wide range of applications. In particular, the Emulsion Pertraction...
Large amounts of thermal energy are transferred to for heating or cooling in the industry as well as in the other sectors. Typical examples are crude oil preheating, ethylene plan...
