Valve Selection Handbook, Fifth Edition: Engineering Fundamentals for Selecting the Right Valve Design for Every Industrial Flow Application

Gulf Professional, 2003

Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a...

Decision Science in Action: Theory and Applications of Modern Decision Analytic Optimisation (Asset Analytics)

Springer, 2018

This book provides essential insights into a range of newly developed numerical optimization techniques with a view to solving real-world problems. Many of these problems can be modeled as nonlinear optimization problems, but due to their complex nature, it is not always possible to solve them using conventional optimization theory....

Zero Emissions Power Cycles

CRC Press, 2009

Focusing on fossil-fueled, nonpolluting power generation systems, Zero Emissions Power Cycles presents alternative solutions to the severe emissions problems of power plants. Along with a description of new thermodynamic cycles and the results of computational analyses, this volume provides modern analytical tools and equations...

Asianization of Migrant Workers in the Gulf Countries

Springer, 2019

This edited volume contains sixteen chapters by eminent scholars on one of the largest migration corridors in the world i.e., between South and South-East Asia and the Gulf region. Asia’s trade and cultural contact with the Gulf date back to ancient historical times. Since the 1970s, the economic rise of the Gulf Cooperation...

Reciprocating Engine Combustion Diagnostics: In-Cylinder Pressure Measurement and Analysis (Mechanical Engineering Series)

Springer, 2019

This book deals with in-cylinder pressure measurement and its post-processing for combustion quality analysis of conventional and advanced reciprocating engines. It offers insight into knocking and combustion stability analysis techniques and algorithms in SI, CI, and LTC engines, and places special emphasis on the digital signal...

Arctic Energy and Social Sustainability

Palgrave Pivot, 2018

In recent years the Arctic has become the focus of political, popular and scholarly debates around the future of our world’s Energy. Increasing consumption, dwindling reserves, climate warming and developing technologies are expected to push energy-related activities ever further into the previously inaccessible north. Within this...

Renewable Energy: Technology, Economics and Environment

Springer, 2007

The utilisation of renewable energies is not at all new; in the history of mankind renewable energies have for a long time been the primary possibility of generating energy. This only changed with industrial revolution when lignite and hard coal became increasingly more important. Later on, also crude oil gained importance. Offering the...

Kinetics of Catalytic Reactions--Solutions Manual

Springer, 2005

This advanced textbook teaches readers to design kinetic experiments involving heterogeneous catalysts, to characterize these catalysts, to acquire rate data, to find heat and mass transfer limitations in these data, to select reaction models, to derive rate expressions based on these models, and to assess the consistency of these rate equations....

The Art and Science of Seismic Interpretation (SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences)

Springer, 2019

Seismic data is one of the fundamental tools used to interpret subsurface geology with application to understanding of earth processes, tectonic evolution, and energy exploration in particular. This book is written for technical specialists who are new to seismic geophysics. It introduces the seismic data set including how the data...

Smalltalk, Objects, and Design

Iuniverse Inc, 2000

This reference and text treats the Smalltalk programming system and the web of object-oriented ideas within and around it. Thus it is more than a guide to the language; it also examines Smalltalk in its technical and historical setting, and along the way addresses the questions that every Smalltalk developer sooner or later naturally wonders about....

Fracking: The Operations and Environmental Consequences of Hydraulic Fracturing (Energy Sustainability)

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

Hydraulic fracturing (also known as fracking, fracing, or worse) of rock deep beneath the surface to release petroleum product has become a contentious subject across the globe. This practice is not to be confused with drilling or extraction. Fracking is the process of using fluid power to fracture rock to release gas (and...

Securing SCADA Systems

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

How to secure systems that weren't built for security

Worldwide, critical economic and governmental infrastructures have evolved into complex networks that facilitate communication, cost reduction, and efficiency. But the very features that create such benefits make these supervisory control and data acquisition, or SCADA, systems a security...
