In this chapter, the most distinguishing characteristics of powders from liquids and solids are discussed.
The use of elastic multipoles in a fashion similar to atomic orbitals in understanding intermolecular interactions in a solid is discussed.
The transferability of the time-dependent nucleation rate of liquid on the nucleation rate of solid is discussed in view of the differences from the established concepts of athermal, thermal and instantaneous nucleation.
Different flow regimes typically encountered in two-phase transport systems of liquid and solid are discussed.
The importance of solid conduction and solid-to-solid radiation is discussed for various stable operating conditions.
The micromechanical origin of size effects in elasticity of solid polymers is discussed in this article.
for the examination of surface properties of solid materials is discussed.
Its application in simulating discrete dislocation motion in a finite solid body is discussed.
The effect of low temperatures on the time spent eating solid foods is discussed in relation to housing design.
