Whole System Designby Peter Stasinopoulos; Michael H. Smith; Karlson 'Charlie' Hargroves; Cheryl Desha
Earthscan 2008; US$ 38.95Whole System Design is increasingly being seen as one of the most cost-effective ways to both increase the productivity and reduce the negative environmental impacts of an engineered system. A focus on design is critical as the output from this stage of the project locks in most of the economic and environmental performance of the designed system throughout its life which can span from a few years to many decades. Indeed it is now widely acknowledged that all designers - particularly engineers architects and industrial designers - need to be able to understand and implement a whole system design approach. This book provides a clear design methodology based on leading efforts in the field and is supported by worked examples that demonstrate... more...

Computer-Aided Design of Electrical Machinesby K.M. Vishnu Murthy
BS Publications 2008; US$ 50.00The aim of this book is to present the sequential steps for developing the computer programs for the design of electrical machines, using well-established design formulae. The data of magnetic and non-magnetic materials used in latest designs by industries, is applied for optimizing the design. Salient Features: MATLAB Version of C Language is used for computer programming because of its easiness and simplicity over conventional C Program. The total program is split into a number of parts and each part is run independently. The total program for total design is obtained by adding the programs of all the parts. more...

Example code explains how to read and write to files on drives, get user input from keyboards, communicate over virtual serial ports and Ethernet bridges, record and play audio and video, print documents, use a USB display monitor, and access vendor-defined devices of any type. The example code runs on embedded Linux... more...
Water in Mineral Processingby Jaroslaw Drelich
SME 2012; US$ 109.00One of the major challenges confronting the mining and minerals processing industry in the 21st century will be managing in an environment of ever decreasing water resources. Because most mineral processing requires high water use, there will be even more urgency to develop and employ sustainable technologies that will reduce consumption and the discharge of process-affected water. Water in Mineral Processing provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art examination of this vital issue. A compilation of papers presented at the First International Symposium on Water in Mineral Processing, this book shares the insights of dozens of respected experts from industry and academia. A significant portion of the content is devoted to... more...
Failure Is Not an Optionby Gene Kranz
Simon & Schuster 2001; US$ 12.99Gene Kranz was present at the creation of America's manned space program and was a key player in it for three decades. As a flight director in NASA's Mission Control, Kranz witnessed firsthand the making of history. He participated in the space program from the early days of the Mercury program to the last Apollo mission, and beyond. He endured the disastrous first years when rockets blew up and the United States seemed to fall further behind the Soviet Union in the space race. He helped to launch Alan Shepard and John Glenn, then assumed the flight director's role in the Gemini program, which he guided to fruition. With his teammates, he accepted the challenge to carry out President John F. Kennedy's commitment to land a man on the Moon before... more...
