Book Description

A practical, illustrated guide to thermal science A practical, illustrated guide to thermal science Written by a subject-matter expert with many years of academic and industrial experience, Thermal Science provides detailed yet concise coverage of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. The laws of thermodynamics are discussed with emphasis on their real-world applications. This comprehensive resource clearly presents the flow-governing equations of fluid mechanics, including those of mass, linear momentum, and energy conservation. Flow behavior through turbomachinery components is also addressed. The three modes of heat transfer--conduction, convection, and radiation--are described along with practical applications of each. Thermal Science covers: Properties of pure substances and ideal gases First and second laws of thermodynamics Energy conversion by cycles Power-absorbing cycles Gas power cycles Flow-governing equations External and internal flow structures Rotating machinery fluid mechanics Variable-geometry turbomachinery stages Prandtl-Meyer flow Internal flow, friction, and pressure drop Fanno flow process for a viscous flow field Rayleigh flow Heat conduction and convection Heat exchangers Transfer by radiation Instructor material available for download from companion website

Book Description

“Hydrogen Diplomacy” provides a comprehensive examination of the global transition towards hydrogen as a pivotal energy carrier, emphasizing its urgency amidst environmental crises stemming from fossil fuel usage. The book delves into the potential of hydrogen as a clean and sustainable alternative, elucidating its benefits while navigating the challenges impeding its widespread adoption. From exploring various methods of hydrogen production, including fossil fuel-based and renewables-driven approaches, to scrutinizing the intricate facets of the hydrogen economy, transportation systems, and advancements in storage and delivery mechanisms, each chapter comprehensively elucidates critical aspects of this paradigm shift. Moreover, it examines regional strategies and international collaborations, showcasing the United States' endeavors to leverage hydrogen for decarbonization, the European Union's ambitious hydrogen strategy, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific's vision for a cleaner future. Furthermore, the book explores the roles of other key players, such as Russia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Africa, and South America, in shaping the global landscape of hydrogen technology. With its analysis and strategic insights, "Hydrogen Diplomacy" serves as an indispensable guide for researchers and engineers (Energy, Environmental, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Material), policymakers, and industry stakeholders navigating the intricate realms of energy transition and diplomacy in the pursuit of a sustainable future.

Book Description

In Thermal Physics: Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics for Scientists and Engineers, the fundamental laws of thermodynamics are stated precisely as postulates and subsequently connected to historical context and developed mathematically. These laws are applied systematically to topics such as phase equilibria, chemical reactions, external forces, fluid-fluid surfaces and interfaces, and anisotropic crystal-fluid interfaces. Statistical mechanics is presented in the context of information theory to quantify entropy, followed by development of the most important ensembles: microcanonical, canonical, and grand canonical. A unified treatment of ideal classical, Fermi, and Bose gases is presented, including Bose condensation, degenerate Fermi gases, and classical gases with internal structure. Additional topics include paramagnetism, adsorption on dilute sites, point defects in crystals, thermal aspects of intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, density matrix formalism, the Ising model, and an introduction to Monte Carlo simulation. Throughout the book, problems are posed and solved to illustrate specific results and problem-solving techniques. - Includes applications of interest to physicists, physical chemists, and materials scientists, as well as materials, chemical, and mechanical engineers - Suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practicing researchers - Develops content systematically with increasing order of complexity - Self-contained, including nine appendices to handle necessary background and technical details

Book Description

While classroom learning is suited for conveying basic information to large numbers of people, Hoag (Engine Research Center, U. of Wisconsin at Madison) argues that continuing education for engineers most often requires small groups of people to rapidly develop proficiencies. He discusses the roles of upper management, direct supervisors, and individual engineers in his proposed model for continuing education in organizations. After outlining the model, he discusses applications related to rotational programs, organizational assessment, and program evaluation. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
