 Pressure Vessel Design Manual, Third Edition
Picking up where the success of the previous editions left off, this book is an accumulation of design procedures, methods, techniques, formulations, and data for use in the design of pressure vessels, their respective parts and equipment. It's written specifically for designers and engineers involved in designing and specifying or... | | Advances in Bioethanol (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
Disadvantages of fossil fuel derived transportation fuels (greenhouse gas emissions,
pollution, resource depletion, unbalanced supply-demand relations) are strongly
reduced or even absent with biotransportation fuels. Of all biofuels, ethanol is
already produced on a fair scale. It produces slightly less greenhouse emissions than... | | The Thermophysics of Porous Media
Models for the mechanical behavior of porous media introduced more than 50 years ago are still relied upon today, but more recent work shows that, in some cases, they may violate the laws of thermodynamics. In The Thermophysics of Porous Media, the author shows that physical consistency requires a unique description of dynamic processes that... |

Biofuels for Transport: An International Perspective
The IEA last published a book on biofuels in 1994 (Biofuels). Many
developments have occurred in the past decade, though policy objectives
remain similar: improving energy security and curbing greenhouse gas
emissions are, perhaps more than ever, important priorities for IEA countries.
And, more than ever, transportation energy... | | | | Drowning in Oil: BP & the Reckless Pursuit of Profit
As night settled on April 20, 2010, a series of explosions rocked Deepwater Horizon, the immense semisubmersible drilling platform leased by British Petroleum, located 40 miles off the Louisiana coast. The ensuing inferno claimed 11 lives, and it would rage uncontained for two days, until its wreckage sank to a final resting place nearly a... |

Green Tech: How to Plan and Implement Sustainable IT Solutions“Green” is a feel-good term. It has positive, earth-friendly connotations, often without much specificity—perfect for marketing purposes. Sustainability, on the other hand, is something we can measure and manage. We are sustainable when our use of resources does not permanently deplete or damage our supply, including natural... | | Solar Energy Engineering: Processes and SystemsWith the threat of global warming, and the gradual depletion of petroleum supplies, solar electric power is rapidly becoming significant part of our energy mix. The range of solar cells spans different materials and different structures in the quest to extract maximum power from the device while keeping the cost to a minimum. Devices with... | | Handbook of Water Analysis, Third Edition
Extensively revised and updated, Handbook of Water Analysis, Third Edition provides current analytical techniques for detecting various compounds in water samples. Maintaining the detailed and accessible style of the previous editions, this third edition demonstrates water sampling and preservation methods by enumerating... |
