  • Handbook of Computational Fluid Mechanics

    • 1st Edition
    • English
    This handbook covers computational fluid dynamics from fundamentals to applications. This text provides a well documented critical survey of numerical methods for fluid mechanics, and gives a state-of-the-art description of computational fluid mechanics, considering numerical analysis, computer technology, and visualization tools. The chapters in this book are invaluable tools for reaching a deeper understanding of the problems associated with the calculation of fluid motion in various situations: inviscid and viscous, incompressible and compressible, steady and unsteady, laminar and turbulent flows, as well as simple and complex geometries.

  • Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 95
    • Peter W. Hawkes
    • English
    Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics is the merger of two long-running serials--Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics and Advances in Optical & Electron Microscopy. It features extended articles on the physics of electron devices (especially semiconductor devices), particle optics at high and low energies, microlithography, image science and digital image processing, electromagnetic wave propagation, electron microscopy, and the computingmethods used in all these domains.

  • Computer Techniques and Algorithms in Digital Signal Processing

    Advances in Theory and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 75
    • English
    Covers advances in the field of computer techniques and algorithms in digital signal processing.

  • Simplified Design of Switching Power Supplies

    • 1st Edition
    • John Lenk
    • English
    Simplified Design of Switching Power Supplies is an all-inclusive, one-stop guide to switching power-supply design. Step-by-step instructions and diagrams render this book essential for the student and the experimenter, as well as the design professional. Simplified Design of Switching Power Supplies concentrates on the use of IC regulators. All popular forms of switching supplies, including DC-DC converters, inverters, buck, boost, buck-boost, pulse frequency modulation, pulse width modulation, current-mode control and pulse skipping, are described in detail. The design examples may be put to immediate use or may be modified to meet a specific design goal. As an instructional text for those unfamiliar with switching supplies, or as a reference for those in need of a refresher, this unique book is essential for those involved in switching power-supply design.

  • Op Amps: Design, Application, and Troubleshooting

    • 2nd Edition
    • David Terrell
    • English
    OP Amps deliberately straddles that imaginary line between the technician and engineering worlds. Topics are carefully addressed on three levels: operational overview, numerical analysis, and design procedures. Troubleshooting techniques are presented that rely on the application of fundamental electronics principles. Systematic methods are shown that can be used to diagnose defects in many kinds of circuits that employ operational amplifiers. One of the book's greatest strengths is the easy-to-read conversational writing style. The author speaks directly to the student in a manner that encourages learning. This book explains the technical details of operational amplifier circuits in clear and understandable language without sacrificing technical depth.

  • Introduction to Marine Engineering

    • 2nd Edition
    • D A Taylor
    • English
    This second edition deals comprehensively with all aspects of a ship's machinery from propulsion and steering to deck machinery and electrical equipment with a strong emphasis upon correct and safe procedures.Material has been added and revised to reflect the greater weight now being placed upon the cost-effective operation of ships; in terms of greater equipment reliability, more fuel-efficient engines, the ever-increasing shift towards automatically operated machinery, and the need for fewer engineering crew. This is an invaluable guide for professionals but equally covers the requirements for Class 4 and Class 3 Engineer's Certificates of Competency, the first two years of the Engineer Cadet Training Scheme, and the Engineering Knowledge syllabus for the Master's Certificate.

  • Pipe Drafting and Design: Workbook

    • 1st Edition
    • Roy A. Parisher
    • English
    Contains related problems that can be solved using manual or computer techniques. A disk contains AutoCAD problems.

  • Techniques in Discrete and Continuous Robust Systems

    Advances in Theory and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 74
    • English
    "This book will be a useful reference to control engineers and researchers. The papers contained cover well the recent advances in the field of modern control theory."--IEEE Group Correspondence"This book will help all those researchers who valiantly try to keep abreast of what is new in the theory and practice of optimal control."--Control

  • Active Control of Vibration

    • 1st Edition
    • Christopher C. Fuller + 2 more
    • English
    This book is a companion text to Active Control of Sound by P.A. Nelson and S.J. Elliott, also published by Academic Press. It summarizes the principles underlying active vibration control and its practical applications by combining material from vibrations, mechanics, signal processing, acoustics, and control theory. The emphasis of the book is on the active control of waves in structures, the active isolation of vibrations, the use of distributed strain actuators and sensors, and the active control of structurally radiated sound. The feedforward control of deterministic disturbances, the active control of structural waves and the active isolation of vibrations are covered in detail, as well as the more conventional work on modal feedback. The principles of the transducers used as actuateors and sensors for such control strategies are also given an in-depth description. The reader will find particularly interesting the two chapters on the active control of sound radiation from structures: active structural acoustic control. The reason for controlling high frequency vibration is often to prevent sound radiation, and the principles and practical application of such techniques are presented here for both plates and cylinders. The volume is written in textbook style and is aimed at students, practicing engineers, and researchers.

  • Guide to the Collision Avoidance Rules

    • 5th Edition
    • A. N. Cockcroft + 1 more
    • English
    This is the definitive work on the Collision Avoidance Rules for all concerned with the practical and legal aspects of their interpretation. This new edition incorporates the 1993 Amendments to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions atSea 1972, which came into force in 1995. The book sets out all the Rules with clear comments on their meaning and on the significance of the changes, and with excerpts from Court judgements that show how they have been interpreted in law. Arrangements of lights and signals are illustrated in colour, and diagrams explain certain aspects of the Steering and Sailing Rules.
