Inhaltsangabe

This book introduces the reader into the field of the physics of processes occurring in porous media. It targets Master and PhD students who need to gain fundamental understanding the impact of confinement on transport and phase change processes. The book gives brief overviews of topics like thermodynamics, capillarity and fluid mechanics in order to launch the reader smoothly into the realm of porous media. In-depth discussions are given of phase change phenomena in porous media, single phase flow, unsaturated flow and multiphase flow. In order to make the topics concrete the book contains numerous example calculations. Further, as much experimental data as possible is plugged in to give the reader the ability to quantify phenomena.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Hendrik Pieter (Henk) Huinink is a physical chemist who graduated at the Wageningen University, The Netherlands (1998), with a PhD in soft matter physics. From 1998-1999 he was research associate at the Shell Research and Technology Center Amsterdam (SRTCA), where he investigated the influence of confinement on the morphology of block copolymers. He joined the Applied Physics Department of the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) in 1999, where he started to work on modeling of transport in porous media and thin films. In those years he became more and more involved in NMR imaging studies on transport phenonema. In 2005 he became assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the group Transport in Permeable Media (TPM). He guides a group of about 5-7 PhD students doing experimental work on transport processes in porous materials and polymer films. He teaches several courses at BSc and MSc level: statistical physics, microfluidics and porous media. Recently, he has started to redirect his research activities towards the kinetics of charging and discharging heat storage materials. For that purpose he spent a sabbatical in 2015 at the Friederich-Alexander University (Erlangen, Germany), where he studied hydration transitions in inorganic crystals with molecular simulations.
