This fully illustrated reference brings you detailed coverage of the full spectrum of equipment and processes used in the production of electricity, from the basics of energy conversion, to prime movers, generators, and boilers.
Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach, Fourth Edition is an introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fundamentals and commercial CFD software to solve engineering problems.
Computational Fluid Dynamics: Principles and Applications, Third Edition presents students, engineers, and scientists with all they need to gain a solid understanding of the numerical methods and principles underlying modern computation techniques in fluid dynamics.
Suitable for readers from broad backgrounds, Graphene: Energy Storage and Conversion Applications describes the fundamentals and cutting-edge applications of graphene-based materials for energy storage and conversion systems.
Biofliudics has gained in importance in recent years, forcing engineers to redefine mechanical engineering theories and apply them to biological functions.
The first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, and all common energy uses.
Der Glaube an die Gesetzmäßigkeit der Natur, das Streben, allge meine und universell gültige Gesetze zu finden, und die Hoffnung - oder sogar Erwartung -, der "Wahrheit" über die "Wirklichkeit" näher zu kommen, haben ihren Grund in einer besonderen persönlichen Welt sicht, die tiefere Wurzeln als alle naturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen und philosophischen Systeme hat.
This book applies the convex integration method to multi-dimensional compressible Euler equations in the barotropic case as well as the full system with temperature.
An increase in the global demand for energy, combined with an increase in the price of energy and energy products, has advanced the growing interest in renewable energy technologies and the wide implementation of renewable energy sources (RES).
In der Praxis bedeutet das, dass bei Verbrennungsmotoren mit gleichem Verdichtungsverhältnis die Gleichraumverbrennung den besten, die Gleichdruckverbrennung den schlechtesten effektiven Wirkungsgrad erzeugt.
This symposium, held at Innsbruck/lgls on June 21-26, 1987, is the fifth in a series of IUTAM-Symposia on the application of stochastic methods in mechanics.
In physics, classical mechanics is one of the two major sub-fields of mechanics, which is concerned with the set of physical laws describing the motion of bodies under the action of a system of forces.
Although finite elasticity theory has its roots in the nineteenth century, its development was largely neglected until the end of the Second World War.
This book is the first to present flow measurement as an independent branch of the measurement techniques, according to a new global and unitary approach for the measurement of fluid flow field, starting from finding its unitary fundamental bases.
This book addresses problems in three main developments in modern condensed matter physics- namely topological superconductivity, many-body localization and strongly interacting condensates/superfluids-by employing fruitful analogies from classical mechanics.
Handbook of Green Engineering Technologies for Sustainable Smart Cities focuses on the complete exploration and presentation of green smart city applications, techniques, and architectural frameworks.
This volume contains the papers presented at the IUT AM Symposium of "e;Mesoscopic Dynamics of Fracture Process and Materials Strength"e;, held in July 2003, at the Hotel Osaka Sun Palace, Osaka, Japan.
This volume contains the proceedings of the XIX International Colloquium on Mechanical Fatigue of Metals, held at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal, 5-7 September 2018.
People rarely stop to think about where the energy they use to power their everyday lives comes from and when they do it is often to ask a worried question: is mankind's energy usage killing the planet?
