  • Supercritical CO2 Extraction

    From Basic Principles to Industrial Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 10
    • Ivana Lukić + 2 more
    • English
    Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has become one of the most recognized and widely applied technologies in green processing, with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) leading the way as the fluid of choice. It represents not only the first but also the most established industrial application of supercritical fluids, paving the path from laboratory research to large-scale production.This book, Supercritical CO2 Extraction: From Basic Principles to Industrial Applications, brings together and systematizes the current state of knowledge on scCO2 extraction, offering both a comprehensive overview and practical insights. It begins with an accessible introduction to the unique properties of scCO2 , followed by a clear explanation of the principles and operation of SFE. A broad spectrum of applications is then explored, ranging from plant materials to non-plant sources, agricultural residues, and food by-products, highlighting the versatility and growing potential of this technology.In addition to practical case studies, the book addresses modeling strategies and scale-up considerations, providing valuable guidance for translating experimental findings into industrial practice. Special emphasis is placed on integrated processes and real-world examples, showcasing how SFE has successfully bridged the gap between science and industry. The final chapter looks toward the future, outlining the challenges and opportunities that will shape the next generation of scCO2-assisted technologies.The book is intended for master’s and PhD students in chemical engineering, biotechnology, food engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and process engineering. It also serves as an essential resource for industry professionals seeking to understand and apply one of the most promising technologies in sustainable extraction.

  • Spacecraft Electromagnetic Docking and Separation

    • 1st Edition
    • Keke Shi + 3 more
    • English
    Spacecraft Electromagnetic Docking and Separation solves problems for spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation control systems using different control methods instead of the widely used proportional–integra... controller or PID control. The book focuses on presenting a variety of control strategies tailored for spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation that are accompanied by stability proofs that integrate Lyapunov stability theory with sliding mode theory, LMIs-based theorems, model predictive control theories, reinforcement study theories, and other frameworks so the reader can understand how to handle different kinds of disturbances and perturbations in actual orbiting spacecraft.The book also provides a review of magnetic field, the magnetic field force model (both the near-field model and the far-field model), and useful lemmas and dynamic modeling methods of spacecraft relative motion that can serve as first stage analysis for further research, and are especially important in the initial design phase of a spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation control systems.

  • Anderson’s Pediatric Cardiology

    • 5th Edition
    • Robert H. Anderson + 7 more
    • English
    As a leading reference on pediatric cardiology and congenital heart disease, Anderson's Pediatric Cardiology provides exhaustive coverage of pediatric cardiovascular anomalies, sequelae related to these anomalies, comorbidities and neurodevelopmental problems, and current methods for management and treatment. The newly streamlined 5th Edition addresses significant and ongoing changes in practice, including recent developments in fetal, neonatal, and adult congenital heart conditions. The outstanding illustration program provides superb visual guidance and is supplemented with a remarkable collection of more than 350 professionally curated images and videos, many new to this edition.According to Anderson’s Pediatric Cardiology, 5th edition editors, Tretter, et al: “Textbooks continue to serve as essential central repositories of knowledge for postgraduate education in paediatric cardiology, despite the widespread availability of digital learning tools. Recent studies confirm that trainees still value textbooks for their structure, depth, and accessibility, while also requesting improved pedagogy and organization.”

  • Robust Model Predictive Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Under Parameter Mismatch

    • 1st Edition
    • Gongping Wu + 3 more
    • English
    Robust Model Predictive Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Under Parameter Mismatch covers permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), an essential element of electromechanical systems like urban rail vehicles and wind power generation thanks to their fast torque response and wide speed range. This book presents improved MPC methods to enhance robustness against parameter mismatches. It aims to help researchers understand advanced motor control strategies and assist engineers in effectively applying these algorithms to improve the operational performance of industrial motor systems.Model predictive control (MPC) offers high accuracy and dynamic response, making it suitable for PMSMs. However, MPC relies on accurate motor parameters, which may vary over time, leading to mismatches that affect performance. These mismatches can cause unstable switching frequencies and increased torque/flux ripples, becoming a common fault in PMSM systems.
