Synopsis

Hydrodynamic Cavitation

A systematic introduction to critical technologies and applications of hydrodynamic cavitation

In Hydrodynamic Cavitation: Devices, Design, and Applications, a distinguished team of researchers delivers an authoritative discussion of key aspects of hydrodynamic cavitation, including the design, characterization, and modeling of the devices. The book offers discussions of state-of-the-art applications of the technology, including the disinfection of water, wastewater treatment, biomass processing, and many other industrial applications.

In addition to expansive case studies, the book provides an up-to-date exploration of emerging innovations and future applications of the technology. Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to hydrodynamic cavitation devices, including those based on axial and rotational flows
• An in-depth examination of the experimental characterization of cavitation devices and computational models
• Comprehensive explorations of the applications of hydrodynamic cavitation, including the disinfection of water and wastewater treatment
• Accessible discussions of industrial applications of hydrodynamic cavitation

Perfect for chemical and process engineers, water chemists, mechanical engineers, and food chemists, Hydrodynamic Cavitation will also earn a place in the libraries of food and environmental technologists.
