This volume includes contributions on the physical and numerical modeling of materials processing, and covers a range of metals and minerals. Authors present models and results related to the basics of processing such as extraction, joining, separation, and casting. The corresponding fundamentals of mass and heat transport as well as physical and thermodynamics properties are addressed, allowing for a cross-disciplinary vision of the field.

Provides an overview of the field of materials processing from the standpoint of heat and mass balance, transport, and thermodynamics Unique collection of papers on iron and steelmaking, with experimental and modeling insights into phenomena like melting, liquid phase processing, and two-phase flow
