Comparative Biomechanics
Princeton University Press 2013; US$ 99.50Why do you switch from walking to running at a specific speed? Why do tall trees rarely blow over in high winds? And why does a spore ejected into air at seventy miles per hour travel only a fraction of an inch? Comparative Biomechanics is the first and only textbook that takes a comprehensive look at the mechanical aspects of life--covering animals... more...
Fundamentals of Engineering Plasticity
Cambridge University Press 2013; US$ 68.00Ideal for those involved in designing sheet metal forming processes, where the understanding of advances in plasticity theory is essential. more...
Heat Exchanger Design Handbook
CRC Press 2013; US$ 229.95Completely revised and updated to reflect current advances in heat exchanger technology, Heat Exchanger Design Handbook, Second Edition includes enhanced figures and thermal effectiveness charts, tables, new chapter, and additional topics--all while keeping the qualities that made the first edition a centerpiece of information for practicing engineers,... more...
Fluid Mechanics for Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection
Elsevier Science 2013; US$ 274.00Applications of the science of fluid mechanics to the new and expanding fields of industrial safety and environmental protection are discussed in this volume. The material is organized in accordance with the chain-of-events in real accidents, starting with the loss of containment of hazardous fluids, going on to the spreading and mixing processes in... more...
Control of Fluid-Containing Rotating Rigid Bodies
CRC Press 2013; US$ 119.95This book is devoted to the study of the dynamics of rotating bodies with cavities containing liquid. Two basic classes of motions are analyzed: rotation and libration. Cases of complete and partial filling of cavities with ideal liquid and complete filling with viscous liquid are treated. The volume presents a method for obtaining relations between... more...

Non-fickian Solute Transport in Porous Media
Springer 2013; US$ 99.00The advection-dispersion equation that is used to model the solute transport in a porous medium is based on the premise that the fluctuating components of the flow velocity, hence the fluxes, due to a porous matrix can be assumed to obey a relationship similar to Ficks law. This introduces phenomenological coefficients which are dependent on... more...
Fluid Structure Interaction VII
WIT Press 2013; US$ 252.00Containing papers presented at the Seventh International Conference on the topic, this book covers new developments in fluid structure interaction problems. more...
Fluid Mechanics
Elsevier Science 2013; US$ 80.95Written in a clear and simple style, this textbook on fluid mechanics gives equal emphasis to both geophysical and engineering fluid mechanics. For physicists, it contains chapters on geophysical fluid mechanics and gravity waves; for engineers, it has chapters on aerodynamics and compressible flow. Of common interest are chapters on governing equations,... more...
