The basic aim of this book is to present the fundamental of Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machines in a simplified manner and to explain each basic concept with the help of illustrative examples.
Statics is the branch of mechanics concerned with the analysis of loads (force, torque/moment) on physical systems in static equilibrium, that is, in a state where the relative positions of subsystems do not vary over time, or where components and structures are at a constant velocity.
Statistical mechanics or statistical thermodynamics is a branch of physics that applies probability theory, which contains mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the study of the thermodynamic behaviour of systems composed of a large number of particles.
Energy Storage: Driving the Renewable Energy Transition provides a thorough and holistic understanding of the operation and state of technology of all the energy storage options.
Rapid growth of the mobile communication market has triggered extensive research on the bulk as well as surface acoustic wave devices in the last decade.
In the last quarter century, delamination has come to mean more than just a failure in adhesion between layers of bonded composite plies that might affect their load-bearing capacity.
Complementarity, duality, and symmetry are closely related concepts, and have always been a rich source of inspiration in human understanding through the centuries, particularly in mathematics and science.
This book will consist of a coherent collection of recent results on near wall turbulence including theory, new experiments, DNS, and modeling with RANS, LES and Low Order Dynamical Systems.
This volume contains an archival record of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Microfluidics Based Microsystems - Fundamentals and App- cations held in Ce ?
This book brings together reviews from leading international authorities on the developments in the study of dark matter and dark energy, as seen from both their cosmological and particle physics side.
One of the most striking phenomena in condensed matter physics is the occurrence of abrupt transitions in the structure of a substance at certain temperatures or pressures.
The subject of Elasticity can be approached from several points of view, - pending on whether the practitioner is principally interested in the mat- matical structure of the subject or in its use in engineering applications and, in the latter case, whether essentially numerical or analytical methods are envisaged as the solution method.
A NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) entitled "e;Advanced Materials and Technologies for Micro/Nano Devices, Sensors and Actuators"e; was held in St.
The composition of the most remote objects brought into view by the Hubble telescope can no longer be reconciled with the nucleogenesis of standard cosmology and the alternative explanation, in terms of the Λ-Cold-Dark-Matter model, has no recognizable chemical basis.
From July 7 to 12, 2008 in Zelenogradsk, a cosy resort on the bank of the Baltic Sea near Kaliningrad in Russia, the 1st International Conference "e;Atmosphere, Ionosphere, Safety (AIS-2008)"e; has been carried out.
We will show in this monograph some possibilities of using the potential of satellite passive microwave radiometric methods for the analysis of variations of heat and dynamic processes in the ocean-atmosphere interface in a wide range of time scales - from mesometeorogical (hours, daily) to seasonal (month) and multiyear (climatic) ones.
The present volume includes most of the material of the invited lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute "e;Morphogenesis through the interplay of nonlinear chemical instabilities and elastic active media"e; held from 2th to 14th July 2007 at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese (http://www.
Random Vibration in Spacecraft Structures Design is based on the lecture notes "e;Spacecraft structures"e; and "e;Special topics concerning vibration in spacecraft structures"e; from courses given at Delft University of Technology.
Adaptive structural systems in conjunction with multifunctional materials facilitate technical solutions with a wide spectrum of applications and a high degree of integration.
This monograph, entirely devoted to "e;Convection in Fluids"e;, presents a unified rational approach of various convective phenomena in fluids (mainly considered as a thermally perfect gas or an expansible liquid), where the main driving mechanism is the buoyancy force (Archimedean thrust) or temperature-dependent surface tension in homogeneities (Marangoni effect).
À partir de phénomènes élémentaires est étudié la theorie de la relativité general d'Einstein, ensemble au principe de Galilei sur la chute libre des corps qui est la condition préalable.
Empezando por los fenómenos elementales se estudia la teoría de la relatividad general de Einstein, junto con el principio de Galilei sobre la caída libre de los cuerpos que es la presuposición.
Il libro mira a fornire le basi di Meccanica Razionale, corredando l'esposizione teorica con un alto numero di esempi ed esercizi, di tutti i quali si fornisce la soluzione.
