      Energy Conservation in the Process Industries provides insight into ways of identifying more important energy efficiency improvements. This book demonstrates how the principles can be employed to practical advantage. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the energy situation and a background in thermodynamics. This text then describes a staged method to improved energy use to understand where the energy goes and how to calculate the value of losses. Other chapters consider improving facilities based on an understanding of the overall site energy system. This book discusses as well the fundamental process and equipment improvements. The final chapter deals with systematic and sophisticated design methods as well as provides some guidelines and checklists for energy conservation items. This book is a valuable resource for mechanical, lead process, and plant engineers involved in energy conservation. Process designers, plant managers, process researchers, and accountants will also find this book extremely useful.

      A significant part of the effort in catalysis research is based on an understanding that a more complete knowledge of the nature and behavior of reactive intermediates or chemisorbed complexes enables to produce better catalysts for industrial processes. The supporting cash flow is certainly based on this assumption. This volume presents written accounts of four different sectors of this effort.

      Corrosion: Aqueous Processes and Passive Films deals with the aqueous corrosion of passive films. Pitting and stress corrosion are discussed at length, along with repassivation kinetics and the corrosion resistance of amorphous (or glassy) alloys. The corrosion of anodized films and dental alloys are also considered. Comprised of seven chapters, this volume begins with a discussion on pitting corrosion and three types of pitting, namely, electrochemical depassivation, chemical depassivation, and etch pitting. The reader is then introduced to the theoretical aspects of the corrosion of glassy alloys as well as their resistance to uniform corrosion; localized corrosion; stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement; and applications of corrosion-resistant glassy alloys. Subsequent chapters explore stress corrosion cracking; repassivation kinetics; the nature of anodic films on aluminum, with emphasis on the anodic polarization of aluminum in appropriate solutions; and the corrosion of dental materials. The book concludes by evaluating the use of alternating current techniques in the study of corrosion and passivity. This monograph will be of interest to engineers, metallurgists, and materials scientists.

      New Directions in Helping: Recipient Reactions to Aid, Volume 1, reviews the state of knowledge in the reactions of recipients in helping interactions. It provides an overview of the entire field, in-depth coverage in major areas, and a preview of important future research directions. The book is organized into five parts. Part I discusses the types of recipient reactions; some consistent relationships between the conditions associated recipient reactions; and approaches that have been used to conceptualize the effects of aid on those who receive it. Part II focuses on theoretical perspectives for conceptualizing reactions to help. Part III examines individual differences in responses to aid. Part IV takes up various determinants of reactions to help. Part V presents some final thoughts about research on reactions to help. This book will be of interest to social psychologists as well as to members of a number of other disciplines, e.g., clinical psychologists, social workers, counseling psychologists, educational psychologists, political scientists, and sociologists.
