Turbulent Combustionby Norbert Peters; G. K. Batchelor; S. Davis; L. B. Freud; S. Leibovich; V. Tvergaard
Cambridge University Press 2000; US$ 123.00The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field. more...
Joining of Materials and Structuresby Robert W. Messler
Elsevier Science & Technology 2004; US$ 170.00Joining of Materials and Structures is the first and only complete and highly readable treatment of the options for joining conventional materials and the structures they comprise in conventional and unconventional ways, and for joining emerging materials and structures in novel ways. Joining by mechanical fasteners, integral designed-or formed-in features, adhesives, welding, brazing, soldering, thermal spraying, and hybrid processes are addressed as processes and technologies, as are issues associated with the joining of metals, ceramics (including cement and concrete) glass, plastics, and composites (including wood), as well as, for the first time anywhere, living tissue. While focused on materials issues, issues related to joint design,... more...
High Temperature Air Combustionby Hiroshi Tsuji
CRC Press 2002; US$ 169.95This title offers a comprehensive exposition of the principles and practice of HiTAC. It reviews the historical background, clearly describes HiTAC combustion phenomena, and shows how to simulate and apply the technology for significant energy savings, reduced equipment size, and lower emissions. more...
The John Zink Combustion Handbookby Charles E. Jr. Baukal
CRC Press 2001; US$ 199.95A general reference on combustion and a detailed reference on industrial combustion for the chemical, hydrocarbon, petrochemical, power generation, and thermal oxidation industries, written by 30 top combustion engineers and technologists currently or formerly with the John Zink Company. Chapters are organized in two sections on theory and applicat more...
Modeling of Combustion Systemsby Joseph Colannino
CRC Press 2006; US$ 149.95Increasing competitive pressure for improved quality and efficiency on one hand and tightening emissions and operating requirements on the other leave the modern process engineer squeezed in the middle. While effective modeling can help balance these demands, the current literature offers overly theoretical treatments on modeling that do not translate quickly and easily to the immediate needs of the practicing engineer. Based on more than a quarter-century of experience, Modeling of Combustion Systems: A Practical Approach introduces an approach to semi-empirical combustion modeling for better control, optimization, prediction, and description of industrial combustion processes. First, the author provides an introduction to modeling, the... more...
Parts Fabrication: Principles and Processesby Richard Crowson
CRC Press 2006; US$ 89.95Volume three of the second edition of the comprehensive Handbook of Manufacturing Engineering focuses on establishing essential communication between the manufacturing and design engineers. Such communication is essential to ensure effective debugging of machinery, a critical, methodical procedure used to uncover and eliminate problems encountered in the initial startup. The book suggests efficient deductive and systematic approaches to machine debugging while providing a refresher on the principles of structural mechanics. Coverage then extends to material characteristics of metals, conventional fabrication processes, laser welding, modeling, and nontraditional machining methods. more...
Microgravity Combustionby Howard D. Ross
Elsevier 2001; US$ 145.00This book provides an introduction to understanding combustion, the burning of a substance that produces heat and often light, in microgravity environments-i.e., environments with very low gravity such as outer space. Readers are presented with a compilation of worldwide findings from fifteen years of research and experimental tests in various low-gravity environments, including drop towers, aircraft, and space. Microgravity Combustion is unique in that no other book reviews low- gravity combustion research in such a comprehensive manner. It provides an excellent introduction for those researching in the fields of combustion, aerospace, and fluid and thermal sciences. * An introduction to the progress made in understanding combustion in... more...
Seals and Sealing Handbookby Robert K Flitney
Elsevier 2007; US$ 205.00Wherever machinery operates there will be seals of some kind ensuring that the machine remains lubricated, the fluid being pumped does not leak, or the gas does not enter the atmosphere. Seals are ubiquitous, in industry, the home, transport and many other places. This 5th edition of a long-established title covers all types of seal by application: static, rotary, reciprocating etc. The book bears little resemblance to its predecessors, and Robert Flitney has re-planned and re-written every aspect of the subject. No engineer, designer or manufacturer of seals can afford to be without this unique resource. *Wide engineering market *Bang up to date! *Only one near competitor, now outdated more...
Machine Elementsby Boris M. Klebanov
Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 129.95Focusing on how a machine "feels" and behaves while operating, this book seeks to impart both intellectual and emotional comprehension regarding the "life" of a machine. It presents a description of how machines elements function, seeking to form a sympathetic attitude towards the machine and to ensure its well-being through proper design. more...
Mixture Formation in Internal Combustion Enginesby Carsten Baumgarten
Springer 2006; US$ 169.00Covers the various approaches to modelling, measuring and optimising the mixture formation process in internal combustion engines. This book also provides the reader with an overview of the most important optical measurement techniques for the investigation of mixture formation in internal combustion engines. more...
