Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics
  • Mechanical engineering

Norman Epstein mainly investigates Mechanics, Fluidization, Thermodynamics, Fouling and Flow. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Suspension, Chromatography and Electrokinetic phenomena, Streaming current. The Fluidization study combines topics in areas such as Perspective and Mineralogy.

His studies deal with areas such as Particle coating, Conductivity and Petroleum engineering as well as Thermodynamics. In his study, Waste management, Heat transfer and Thermal is inextricably linked to Heat exchanger, which falls within the broad field of Fouling. The various areas that Norman Epstein examines in his Flow study include Jet and Viscous liquid.

His most cited work include:

  • On tortuosity and the tortuosity factor in flow and diffusion through porous media (444 citations)
  • Theory of electrokinetic flow in fine cylindrical capillaries at high zeta-potentials (442 citations)
  • Creeping flow relative to permeable spheres (291 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Fluidization, Thermodynamics, Fluidized bed and Mineralogy. As part of his studies on Mechanics, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Chromatography. His Fluidization study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Layer, Pressure drop, Settling and Petroleum engineering.

His Thermodynamics research incorporates elements of Gas velocity and Liquid velocity. His Fluidized bed research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Multiphase flow, Composite material, Mixing and Volumetric flow rate. His research integrates issues of Particle size and Analytical chemistry in his study of Mineralogy.
