HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN MHD FLOWS
by E Blums, Yu Mikhailov & R Ozols (Riga, Salaspils)
Control of heat and mass transfer processes by means of external force effects is one of the most important problems in modern applied physics. This book is devoted to the study of the magnetic field effect as it bears on transfer phenomena: heat and mass transfer. In conducting media, this influence is mainly due to the induced electric current and the interaction of the current with the magnetic field, whereas in magnetizable fluids, molecular or colloidal solution, transfer phenomena are directly affected by the field. When analysing heat and mass transfer in multiphase magnetizing media, only those phenomena which could be described in terms of conventional quasi-stationary approximation are considered. The effects assoicated with the non-equilibrium magnetization of the system and particle interaction receive special attention here. The problem studied here have been considered with a view to possible applications, particularly in biology and medicine.

"Appearance of books like the one discussed here is highly desirable and valuable for researchers, practical engineers and students who already work in MHD. It will also doubtless attract to this fascinating area many individuals for whom this book will be the first inspiring encounter with MHD."

"... an excellent collection and discussion of referenced works which should be of interest to researchers in this subject area ... the authors have provided a genuine service by making their discussion of the Russian literature available in English."
