This book uses the entire flying process, starting from ground launching of the orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) to injecting payload into earth synchronous orbit, as an example for real-world engineering practices.
Il testo si propone di far acquisire al lettore le conoscenze delle metodologie e teorie di base per effettuare delle analisi di sicurezza e valutazione del rischio in diversi ambienti aeronautici, in un quadro di "Safety Management System".
The objective of this Workshop is to confront models, methods and tools developed within the projects with the ongoing research worldwide and to provide an environment for fruitful exchange of ideas.
La realizzazione e il lancio nello spazio di satelliti o sonde attraverso missili o navette spaziali sono un esempio di attività industriale di enorme complessità e di lungo periodo.
A cavallo del 1960, tredici donne pilota americane hanno sostenuto e superato brillantemente gli stessi test a cui venivano sottoposti gli astronauti (maschi) americani.
Il presente testo si propone di far acquisire al lettore le conoscenze delle metodologie e teorie di base per effettuare analisi di sicurezza e valutazione del rischio in diversi ambienti aeronautici, in un quadro di "Safety Management System".
Ferdinand von Zeppelin, Santos Dumont, Torres Quevedo,… Desde las aplicaciones bélicas como "arma definitiva" y las primeras líneas aéreas de pasajeros hasta los grandes zepelines del III Reich y su renacimiento tras el famoso desastre del Hindenburg.
The main purpose of this book is to present the most important advances and changes that are taking place in the field of automotive engineering, which experts estimate will be substantially different in 20 years from the way it is conceived.
Esta obra aborda el análisis del efecto de la cavitación sobre los procesos de inyección y de formación de hollín en motores diésel de inyección directa.
Esta obra presenta una nueva técnica experimental para caracterizar el comportamiento del chorro diésel en campo próximo, realizando un estudio exhaustivo de las características del mismo bajo distintas condiciones del flujo interno en toberas de inyección.
La reducción de las emisiones contaminantes es, junto con el incremento de la eficiencia energética, el mayor reto al que se enfrenta la comunidad científica en el campo de los motores de combustión interna alternativos.
La entrada en vigor de normativas anticontaminantes cada vez más restrictivas, está conduciendo a la necesidad de incluir en el motor nuevos sistemas de post-tratamiento de los gases de escape.
La necesidad de reducir la emisión de contaminantes por parte de los motores Diesel, junto con el creciente interés por incrementar su rendimiento térmico, ha dado como resultado una tendencia creciente a la introducción de sistemas flexibles para gestionar la inyección de combustible o el diagrama de distribución.
La mejora del conocimiento de los procesos termofluidodinámicos implicados en la inyección-combustión de los motores Diesel de inyección directa se ha beneficiado del desarrollo de diferentes técnicas de diagnóstico, entre las que destaca la basada en la medida de la presión en la cámara.
