Dit handboek is het eerste werk dat de onderwerpen pompen en compressoren bundelt en op encyclopedische manier benadert. In samenwerking met bedrijven, ingenieurs en technici geeft de auteur een helder overzicht van alle toestellen die op de markt zijn. De talloze kleurenfoto’s en figuren werpen een duidelijk licht op hun toepassingen en eigenschappen. Ten slotte komen ook de correcte terminologie en het wiskundige luik van de werking op overzichtelijke wijze aan bod. Pompen & compresso...

Nowadays we know much more about the working of the brain, especially how it perceives things, how it decides and how it prepares and performs actions. This book uses that new understanding. It focuses on the question what the brain teaches us about safe work behaviour and which opportunities we have to influence that behaviour. The author offers the reader an innovative insight in the psychology behind the success or failure of many work-related safety measures.

One of the key messages is th...

Pinch Analysis for Energy and Carbon Footprint Reduction is the only dedicated pinch analysis and process integration guide, covering a breadth of material from foundational knowledge to in-depth processes. Readers are introduced to the main concepts of pinch analysis, the calculation of energy targets for a given process, the pinch temperature, and the golden rules of pinch-based design to meet energy targets. More advanced topics include the extraction of stream data necessary for a pinch a...

Designed for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate courses in semiconductor or microelectronic fabrication, Fabrication Engineering at the Micro- and Nanoscale, Fourth Edition, covers the entire basic unit processes used to fabricate integrated circuits and other devices.

Acoustics and Noise Control provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of acoustics and noise control. Since the last edition was published in 1996 there have been many changes and additions to standards, laws and regulations, codes of practice relating to noise, and in noise measurement techniques and noise control technology so this new edition has been fully revised and updated throughout. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and requ...

Normal Accidents analyzes the social side of technological risk. Charles Perrow argues that the conventional engineering approach to ensuring safety--building in more warnings and safeguards--fails because systems complexity makes failures inevitable. He asserts that typical precautions, by adding to complexity, may help create new categories of accidents.

(At Chernobyl, tests of a new safety system helped produce the meltdown and subsequent fire.) By recognizing two dimensions of risk--compl...

Presents a formulation of the kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators. This book emphasizes the geometry of robot motion and allows a large class of robotic manipulation problems to be analyzed within a unified framework.

In addition to its thorough coverage of DSP design and programming techniques, Smith also covers the operation and usage of DSP chips. He uses Analog Devices' popular DSP chip family as design examples.

The study pack includes chapter reviews and free-body diagram workbook and is to accompany the 14th Edition of Engineering Mechanics: Statics in SI Units
