Major Scientific Achievements
Dilman developed several approximate methods for solving complicated mass, heat, and momentum transfer problems; proposed a wave model for describing the longitudinal dispersion in turbulent flow; identified the conditions at which the Marangoni effect can occur; showed that the diffusion evaporation mode in unsteady evaporation of liquid into gas may lose its stability if the molecular weight of the evaporating liquid is smaller than that of the gas in contact with this liquid. The total number of published papers and books is more than 300. Currently serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of Theor. Found. Chem. Eng.

Famous quotes containing the words major, scientific and/or achievements:
“I have not had major experience of talking with people once pronounced brain-dead, but I think we could be safe in saying he did not have great zip.”
—Sir Howard Smith (b. 1919)
“In economics, hope and faith coexist with great scientific pretension and also a deep desire for respectability.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
