What is Foam Engineering : Fundamentals and Applications about?

Foam is a gas-liquid multiphase mixture that has several unique properties, such as high specific surface area and high expansion ratio. These properties can be harnessed in a wide variety of process applications and products such and froth flotation, fire-fighting and bread manufacture.Divided into two sections, the chapters describe first the physical nature or behaviour of gas-liquid foam, and then process or product applications of foam. It includes coverage of:Foam morphology in two- and three- dimensionsFoam drainageChanges in bubble size by coalescence and ripeningFoam rheologyPneumatic and particle-stabilised foamsNon aqueous foams, and ‘Suprafroths’Froth phase phenomena in mineral flotation and oil sand processingFoams for enhanced mass transfer in fermentation processesFoams in glass manufacturing, enhanced oil recovering, fire-fighting and consumer productsLinking the theory of foam science to industrial applications, Foam Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications summarises the state-of-the art of gas-liquid foam knowledge written by research leaders from academia and industry, and provides an accessible resource for those with an academic or practical interest in foam
