Overview

Volume 2 considers the essential conditions for a model to be truly predictive. The authors use a statistical approach to rate the validity of the various predictive models that have been previously used for evaluating various thermophysical properties. On the basis of this assessment, the authors have predicted values for the thermophysical properties of elemental metallic liquids, which are lacking in experimental data. They believe their predicted values are at least as reliable, and sometimes more reliable than corresponding experimental values. According to the periodic law, the authors provide the periodic variations in values of some twelve physical quantities or thermophysical properties. This is based on the electron configuration in the outermost energy level of metallic elements. Finally, a large number of experimental data for the physical quantities and thermophysical properties of liquid metallic elements are compiled.

Reviews

This work, authored by the two leading experts in the field, forms an outstanding source of information on liquid metals creating an essential reference for any group involved with this important area. The authors are to be congratulated in assembling so much pertinent information, in a very readable form, from the fundamental aspects, including a comprehensive source of data, to the prediction of thermophysical properties - it is an outstanding achievement. Derek Fray, FRS, University of Cambridge, The latest book on Thermophysical Properties of Metallic Liquids by Professor Iida and Professor Guthrie is an extremely important tool in enhancing our knowledge in the area of Materials Process Science. The book consists of two volumes, presenting the physics of thermophysical properties in the first and predictive models for estimating these properties in the second. Volume 1 takes the reader from the atomic level to macro region correlating structure with properties, providing a fundamental understanding. Volume 2 is a boon to the engineers in the choice of reliable data and models where needed. Authored by two authorities in this area, these volumes would occupy a central position in my book shelf. The book should be available in all the libraries and be accessible to all researchers in the area of Materials Process Science, in academia as well as in industry. Seshadri Seetharaman, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden The books cover static and dynamic thermophysical properties of metallic liquids. Atomic periodicity is a strong lead throughout the description, compilation, and modeling of different properties. The books are very useful for students, researchers, and engineers of materials science and engineering. They greatly help to understand the relations between atomic scale and macroscopic process phenomena. Lauri Holappa, Aalto University, Finland

Author Information

Takamichi Iida is the professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Processing at Osaka University. He obtained a Doctorate in Materials Science, studying the physical properties of metallic liquids. On the basis of the metrology of liquids, he also co-developed a viscometer for characterizing slag viscosities in continuous casting machines for the Japanese steel industry. He is the author, or co-author, of more than 200 research papers. He was awarded the Meritorious Honor Prize (in 1982), and the Okada Science and Technology Prize (in 2002). Roderick I.L.Guthrie is the Macdonald Professor of Metallurgy at McGill University, and is the Director and co-founder of the McGill Metals Processing Centre, established in 1990. He is the author, or co-author, of more than 450 publications, twenty four receiving best paper awards, and has about 240 patents from 12 inventions attributed to him. He is an Honorary member of the AIME and of the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan, a Distinguished Member of the AIST, is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, of the Canadian Academy of Engineers, and of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. He remains a very active member of the research community in North America, specialising in Fluid Dynamics and associated Heat and Mass Transfer in Liquid Metal Processing Operations.
