  • Handbook of Chemical Processing Equipment

    • 1st Edition
    • Nicholas P Cheremisinoff
    • English
    The Handbook of Chemical Process Equipment is a major reference on process equipment. It provides practical understanding and description of the working principles, intended applications, selection criteria and fundamental design principles for equipment used throughout the process and allied chemical industries. It is an important reference for engineers, and in particular chemical engineers who will use such a volume throughout their studies and careers. Each major unit operation and equipment associated with the operation is described in sufficient detail for the reader to obtain practical knowledge of the equipment's limitations and typical applications. The book contains sufficient working examples and references for the user to refer to more in-depth treatment of individual subject areas.

  • 8051 Microcontrollers

    Hardware, Software and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • David Calcutt + 2 more
    • English
    The 8051 family of microprocessors are the universally accepted standard which all electronics undergraduates need to know about. Students with only an elementary understanding of microprocessors will find this text especially useful.'8051 Microcontrollers' provides a practical and readable description of the 8051 family of microcontrollers, including 16-bit devices, and their use in practical applications. Often students and technicians are reliant on manufacturers' data books and application manuals to learn about these ubiquitous devices. This book fulfils the need for an easily understood account of the subject and uses worked examples, real-life applications, summary sections and exercises to demonstrate the relevance of the theory to everyday domestic and commercial situations.

  • Three Dimensional Surface Topography

    • 1st Edition
    • Ken J Stout + 1 more
    • English
    This fully illustrated text explains the basic measurement techniques, describes the commercially available instruments and provides an overview of the current perception of 3-D topography analysis in the academic world and industry, and the commonly used 3-D parameters and plots for the characterizing and visualizing 3-D surface topography. It also includes new sections providing full treatment of surface characterization, filtering technology and engineered surfaces, as well as a fully updated bibliography.

  • Quality Management for the Technology Sector

    • 1st Edition
    • Joseph Berk + 1 more
    • English
    There are many standards, methods and perhaps most confusing, but most importantly of all acronyms in use in the field of quality management, and especially so in the field of technology-based products. From the seemingly simple concepts of ISO 9000 (and the military MIL standards from which that grew) to statistical and analytical methods like Statistical Process Control (SPC) the range of complexity and compliance is staggering. What the average quality engineer or manager needs is a simple guide to what these are, how they relate to one another and most critically how to take advantage of and implement the benefits of each. This book provides that guidance.Written by a quality consultant with over 20 years experience in precisely these fields, including work with the US Defense Department, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon, and many other leading companies, this book provides an easily digestible toolbox of solutions to quality and management problems for every engineer, manager and even student looking for those answers for the medium to high-technology sector manufacturing company. This is a highly practical book which includes all the major topics in quality as well as case studies from relevant real-world situations yet without the need to wade through reams of reference materials and international standards verbiage. If you need to get to the bottom of problems like these, you need this book.

  • Theory and Design of Air Cushion Craft

    • 1st Edition
    • Liang Yun + 1 more
    • English
    This definitive text describes the theory and design both of Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV) and Surface Effect Ships (SES). It begins by introducing hovercraft types and their development and application throughout the world in the last three decades, before going on to discuss the theoretical aspects of ACV and SES craft covering their hovering performance, dynamic trim over calm water, resistance, stability, manoeuvrability, skirt configuration and analysis of forces acting on the skirts, ACV and SES seakeeping, and the methodology of scaling aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces acting on the ACV/SES from model test data. The latter chapters describe a design methodology, including design criteria and standard methods for estimating craft performance, lift system design, skirt design, hull structure, propulsion systems and power unit selection. Much technical information, data, and references to further work on hovercraft and SES design is provided. The book will be a useful reference to engineers, technicians, teachers, students (both undergraduate and postgraduate), operators etc. who are involved in ACV/SES research, design, construction and operation.

  • Chemical Risk Analysis

    A Practical Handbook
    • 1st Edition
    • Bernard Martel
    • English
    This handbook includes the principal methodological tools and data required to comprehend, evaluate and execute analysis of chemical risk in practical working situations. A unique feature of the book, in addition to the extensive theoretical treatments of the subject, is the multitude of dangerous property tables, a remarkably extensive compilation, providing data on more than 1900 products, organic and inorganic. These tables are supplemented through the text by numerous figures and other tables, helping make this publication both comprehensive and accessible.An additional feature of this book is the description of numerous experiments conducted in the author’s laboratory, designed to test the various hazard test criteria in current use. Full assessments of the results are presented and these compared with the results of other procedures in current use. This feature will provide valuable material for those engaged in research on the subject, as well as the specialist practitioner who, as the author is able to show, cannot always take the results of conventional wisdom and mandatory regulation for granted in ensuring safety.This book is intended * for safety specialists in industry who are concerned with the manipulation of chemical products * for process chemists and safety chemists who need to evaluate chemical hazards in chemical plant * for workers involved with the development of analytical procedures in industrial laboratories and in university research departments. * as an essential reference work, trainers and chemistry lecturers who wish to incorporate the subject of chemical risk in their teaching.
