This applied thermoscience book covers the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines. Explores the fundamentals of most types of internal combustion engines with a major emphasis on reciprocating engines. Covers both spark ignition and compression ignition engines as well as those operating on...

This is the first complete account of the physics of the creep and fracture of ice, and their interconnectivity. It investigates the deformation of low-pressure ice, which is fundamental to glaciers, polar ice sheets and the uppermost region of icy moons of the outer Solar System. The book discusses ice structure and its defects, and...

Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics addresses a fascinating question in physics: what happens to light, and in particular to its interaction with matter, when it is trapped inside a box? With the aid of a model-building approach, readers discover the answer to this question and come to...

Celebrating nearly 100 years as The Bible of the Mechanical Industries , the 28th edition brings together volumes of knowledge, information and data gathered, revised and improved upon from experts throughout the mechanical industries. Extraordinarily comprehensive yet easy to use since it premiered, Machinery s Handbook provides mechanical...

The C++ programming language, which includes C as a proper subset, has become the preeminent programming language in the engineering and scientific fields. For most engineers and scientists, however, using the full potential of C++, which is a hybrid language containing both structured and object-oriented features, involves a gradual...

This book is written for those who are about to use their fi rst home computer or those who have yet to explore the wider opportunities afforded by a computer beyond searching the Internet and sending the occasional email message. You have my word that there will be very few acronyms and those that do appear will be fully explained in...

As you study Spanish, you can choose to approach it as an art form or as a...

The objectives of this book are twofold: (1) for the student, to show how the fundamental principles underlying the behavior of fluids (with emphasis on one-dimensional macroscopic balances) can be applied in an organized and systematic manner to the solution of practical engineering problems, and (2) for the practicing engineer, to...
