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:
“The more you stay in this kind of job, the more you realize that a public figure, a major public figure, is a lonely man.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“My mind is just as open as it ever was, professor. But it’s a scientific mind, and there’s no place in it for superstitions.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
“Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
