Basic Concepts in Turbomachinery

EBook Description: This book is about the fundamentals of turbomachinery, the basic operation of pumps, aircraft engines, wind turbines, turbomachinery for power generation and hydro-electric machines. It compliments courses that you will be studying in these areas by concentrating on getting the basics right. Enormous emphasis is placed on relating the complex geometry of turbomachines to the fundamental analysis models used throughout the design of all turbomachinery. The simple techniques described in the book provide the basis for preliminary design of all turbomachinery and so mastering the concepts in this book provides a solid foundation for later study.

A fascinating compendium of early-20th-century mechanical devices, this expansive work ranges from basic hooks and levers to complex machinery used in steam, motive, hydraulic, air, and electric power, navigation, gearing, clocks, mining, and construction. More than 1,800 engravings include simple illustrations and detailed cross-sections.

Mechanical Vibrations

This analysis of dynamic stresses on rotational machines such as helicopters and piston engines explains the main dynamic phenomena and how they can be observed in reality as well as information on the modeling methods required to understand the dynamic phenomena and develop solutions capable of eliminating the most serious effects.

Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook, Fourth Edition

The fourth edition of this unique engineering reference book covers the past, present, and future of mechanisms and mechanical devices. Among the thousands of proven mechanisms illustrated and described are many suitable for recycling into new mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic products and systems.

Integral Mechanical Attachment: A Resurgence of the Oldest Method of Joining

Integral Mechanical Attachment, highlights on one of the worlds oldest technologies and makes it new again. Think of buttons and toggles updated to innovative snaps, hooks, and interlocking industrial parts.

Mechanical Modelling and Computational Issues in Civil Engineering By Michel Fremond, Franco Maceri

In this edited book various novel approaches to problems of modern civil engineering are demonstrated. Experts associated within the Lagrange Laboratory present recent research results in civil engineering dealing both with modelling and computational aspects. Many modern topics are covered, such as monumental dams, soil mechanics and geotechnics, granular media, contact and friction problems, damage and fracture, new structural materials, and vibration damping ??" presenting the state of the art of mechanical modelling and computational issues incivil engineering.

Understanding Mechanical Ventilation

This book will familiarize not only physicians but also nurses and respiratory therapists with the concepts that underlie mechanical ventilation. A conscious attempt has been made to emphasize medical physiology throughout the book, in order to specifically address the how`s and why`s of mechanical ventilation. At the same time the book incorporates the current strategies for the mechanical ventilation of patients with specific disorders; this should be of some use to the specialists practicing in their respective ICUs.

Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements

For those who share an interest in mechanical things, this book is addictive. Through the use of simplified, concise drawings, here are 507 of the small components which make up complex machinery in areas as diverse as C.R. Otis�s safety stop for the elevator, Pickering�s governor for a steam engine, Arnold�s escapement for watches, compound parallel rules, piston rod guides, the grasshopper beam engine and a self recording level for surveyors.

Principles and Practice of Mechanical Ventilation, 2nd Editi

Up-to-the minute, rigorous coverage that addresses every important scientific, clinical and technical aspect of the field. 70 well-organized chapters encompassing the full scope of mechanical ventilation, including the physical basis of mechanical ventilation; conventional, alternative, noninvasive, and unconventional methods of ventilator support; complications and airway management; ethics and economics

Mechanical Metallurgy

This revised third edition of a bestselling metallurgy text examines the behaviour of materials under stress and their reaction to a variety of hostile environments. It covers the entire scope of mechanical metallurgy, from an understanding of the continuum description of stress and strain, through crystalline and defect mechanisms of flow and fracture, and on to a consideration of major mechanical property tests and the basic metalworking process. It has been updated throughout, SI units have been added, and end-of-chapter study questions are included.
