Product Description
A useful, effective approach to the design of heat exchanger equipment as is used throughout the mechanical and chemical process industries is provided here. The reader is shown how to apply methods of solution that go beyond the present state-of- the-art for problems with combined heat transfer and fluid flow in a manner that is understandable and acceptable to the average engineer. Offering methods of solutions by covering single-phase flows in non-smooth channels, two-phase flow in condensers and evaporators - over and through tubes of any geometry, the book shows how to apply the methods to practical design. A concious effort is made to relate between the needs of the practising engineer and the work of experimental and mathematical researchers who sometimes fail to appreciate the needs of engineers in industry. ...

Product Description
'You will most certainly find answers to some of your toughest design problems between the covers of this volume' Steven H Leibson, Editor in Chief, EDN Magazine. Since its first appearance in 1956, EDN has established itself as the clear leader in the provision of electronics information, with a combined circulation in the USA, Europe and Asia of over 150,000 copies every fortnight. This is an annotated, indexed and cross referenced collection of work from the magazine for electronic designers.


A collected volume of the best articles from the extensive files of Ian Hickman was published in 1991.The articles provide a wealth of information on components, equipment, circuits, systems and standards that prove to be extremely popular and useful for practising electronics engineers.This second volume of collected articles includes subjects not covered in the first, and more recent items, to provide a completely up-to-date compilation, covering subjects including analog and digital circuits, test and measurement, software and algorithms.The articles are cross-referenced and indexed for ease of use.Many of the circuits are from the popular 'design ideas' section where readers submit their own designs.Longer review articles written by the magazine staff are also included.

Melaragno¹s latest is a must of bridge design professionals.
Michele Melaragno continues his tradition of authoring excellent books which bridge the gulf between engineering and architecture. In this volume, he covers both the important engineering aspects of bridges for architectsand the aesthetics of bridge design for engineers. It is an ideal startingpoint for any professional planning to enter bridge design competitions. Hetraces the historical development of bridges, preliminary design procedures(including checklists and type selection criteria), review and examples ofstate-of-the-art computer software for bridge design, bridge aesthetics(including a thorough review of the literature), bridge rehabilitiation,and an inventory of award winning bridges. While the cost of this book isconsiderable, it is justified on the basis of its value to the bridgedesign professional.As an architect, author, and architectural educatorteaching structures, I appreciate the excellent job that Dr. Melaragno didon this book. I highly recommend it to both architects and engineersinterested in bridge design.FM ... Read more

Product Description
This book provides the design engineer with concise information on the most important advanced methods that have emerged in recent years for the design of structures, products and components. While these methods have been discussed in the professional literature, this is the first full presentation of their key principles and features in a single convenient volume. Both veteran and beginning design engineers will find new information and ideas in this book for improving the design engineering process in terms of quality, reliability, cost control and timeliness. Each advanced design concept is examined thoroughly, but in a concise way that presents the essentials clearly and quickly. The author is a leading engineering educator whose many books on design engineering methods, engineering management and quality control have been published in different languages throughout the world.This recent book is available for prompt delivery. To receive your copy quickly, please order now. An order form follows the complete table of contents on the reverse. ... Read more
