    • English
    Blockchain-Based Smart Grids presents emerging applications of blockchain in electrical system and looks to future developments in the use of blockchain technology in the energy market. Rapid growth of renewable energy resources in power systems and significant developments in the telecommunication systems has resulted in new market designs being employed to cover unpredictable and distributed generation of electricity. This book considers the marriage of blockchain and grid modernization, and discusses the transaction shifts in smart grids, from centralized to peer-to-peer structures. In addition, it addresses the effective application of these structures to speed up processes, resulting in more flexible electricity systems. Aimed at moving towards blockchain-based smart grids with renewable applications, this book is useful to researchers and practitioners in all sectors of smart grids, including renewable energy providers, manufacturers and professionals involved in electricity generation from renewable sources, grid modernization and smart grid applications.

  • Exploring Engineering

    An Introduction to Engineering and Design
    • 5th Edition
    • Robert Balmer + 1 more
    • English
    Engineers solve problems and work on emerging challenges in a wide range of areas important to improving quality of life; areas like sustainable energy, access to clean water, and improved communications and health care technologies. Kosky et al’s Exploring Engineering explores the world of engineering by introducing the reader to what engineers do, the fundamental principles that form the basis of their work, and how they apply that knowledge within a structured design process. The three-part organization of the text reinforces these areas, making this an ideal introduction for anyone interested in exploring the various fields of engineering and learning how engineers work to solve problems. The 5th edition has been revised to better reflect the knowledge base of incoming freshmen, and new content has been added for several new and emerging engineering disciplines, such as environmental engineering, cybersecurity, additive manufacturing, and mechatronics, as well as new design projects

  • Additive and Traditionally Manufactured Components

    A Comparative Analysis of Mechanical Properties
    • 1st Edition
    • Joshua Pelleg
    • English
    Additive and Traditionally Manufactured Components: A Comparative Analysis of Mechanical Properties looks at the mechanical properties of materials produced by additive manufacturing (AM) and compares them with conventional methods. Since the production of objects by AM techniques can used in a broad array of materials, the alloys presented are the ones most commonly produced by AM - Al alloys, Ti alloys and steel. The book explores the six main types of techniques: Fused Deposition Method (FDM), Powder Bed Fusion (PBF), Inkjet Printing, Stereolithography (SLA), Direct Energy Deposition (DED) and Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), and follows with the techniques being utilized for fabrication. Testing of AM fabricated specimens, including tension, compression and hardness is included, along with a comparison of those results to specimens obtained by conventional fabrication methods. Topics covered include static deformation, time dependent deformation (creep), cyclic deformation (fatigue) and fracture in specimens. The book concludes with a review of the mechanical properties of nanoscale specimens obtained by AM.

  • Polymer Nanocomposite Membranes for Pervaporation

    • 1st Edition
    • Sabu Thomas + 2 more
    • English
    Polymer Nanocomposite Membranes for Pervaporation assesses recent applications in the pervaporation performance of polymer nanocomposites of different length scales. The book discusses the effects of a range of nanofillers, their dispersion, the effect of different polymers, and organic and inorganic nanomaterials in the pervaporation process. In addition, the book explores how the different properties of a variety of nanocomposite materials make them better for use in different types of liquids, while also discussing the challenges of using different nanocomposites for this purpose effectively and safely. In particular, polymer nanocomposites for g nanoscale dispersion, filler/polymer interactions, and morphology are addressed. This is an important reference source for materials scientists, chemical engineers and environmental engineers who want to learn more about how polymer nanocomposites are being used to make the pervaporation separation process more effective.
