This book also expose readers to the wide range of technologies where their skills may be applied.

Book Mechanics  Heat  and the Human Body

Download or read book Mechanics Heat and the Human Body written by Howard D. Goldick and published by Pearson. This book was released on 2001 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique introduction to physics for readers who are particularly interested in the human body covers a limited number of distinct physics topics (related to mechanics and heat) in great depth and with many examples and problems that relate directly to readers' interests. Each topic is developed quantitatively using high school-level algebra (linear equations, simultaneous equations), trigonometric functions, and vectors. Applications focus on typical situations--e.g., the need for and proper use of a cane; the need for heat transfer from the body to the environment during exercise and the relative contributions of the various mechanisms (convection, radiation, evaporation of sweat); the relation between energy ingested as food and energy expended during exercise; etc. Motion; Force; Vectors; Newton's Second Law; Momentum And Impulse; Angular Motion; Torque; Shoulder; Knee; Lower Back; FHP; Heat And Energy; Conservation Of Energy; Work; Chemical Energy; Elastic Energy; Nuclear Energy. For premedical students, Physical Therapists, and Occupational Therapists.

Book Heat Wave

  • Author : Eric Klinenberg
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2015-05-06
  • ISBN : 022627621X
  • Pages : 342 pages

Download or read book Heat Wave written by Eric Klinenberg and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “compelling” story behind the 1995 Chicago weather disaster that killed hundreds—and what it revealed about our broken society (Boston Globe). On July 13, 1995, Chicagoans awoke to a blistering day in which the temperature would reach 106 degrees. The heat index—how the temperature actually feels on the body—would hit 126. When the heat wave broke a week later, city streets had buckled; records for electrical use were shattered; and power grids had failed, leaving residents without electricity for up to two days. By July 20, over seven hundred people had perished—twenty times the number of those struck down by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Heat waves kill more Americans than all other natural disasters combined. Until now, no one could explain either the overwhelming number or the heartbreaking manner of the deaths resulting from the 1995 Chicago heat wave. Meteorologists and medical scientists have been unable to account for the scale of the trauma, and political officials have puzzled over the sources of the city’s vulnerability. In Heat Wave, Eric Klinenberg takes us inside the anatomy of the metropolis to conduct what he calls a “social autopsy,” examining the social, political, and institutional organs of the city that made this urban disaster so much worse than it ought to have been. He investigates why some neighborhoods experienced greater mortality than others, how city government responded, and how journalists, scientists, and public officials reported and explained these events. Through years of fieldwork, interviews, and research, he uncovers the surprising and unsettling forms of social breakdown that contributed to this human catastrophe as hundreds died alone behind locked doors and sealed windows, out of contact with friends, family, community groups, and public agencies. As this incisive and gripping account demonstrates, the widening cracks in the social foundations of American cities made visible by the 1995 heat wave remain in play in America’s cities today—and we ignore them at our peril. Includes photos and a new preface on meeting the challenges of climate change in urban centers “Heat Wave is not so much a book about weather, as it is about the calamitous consequences of forgetting our fellow citizens. . . . A provocative, fascinating book, one that applies to much more than weather disasters.” —Chicago Sun-Times “It’s hard to put down Heat Wave without believing you’ve just read a tale of slow murder by public policy.” —Salon “A classic. I can’t recommend it enough.” —Chris Hayes

Book Student Study Guide to accompany Introduction to Heat  4th Edition and Fundamentals of Heat  5th Edition

Download or read book Student Study Guide to accompany Introduction to Heat 4th Edition and Fundamentals of Heat 5th Edition written by Frank P. Incropera and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work more effectively and gauge your progress as you go along! This Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual has been developed by the publisher as a supplement to accompany Incropera’s Fundamentals of Heat & Mass Transfer, 5th Edition and Introduction to Heat & Mass Transfer, 4th Edition. It contains a summary of key concepts from each chapter, fully worked solutions to representative problems from the text and in many cases includes exploration of a solution over a range of values using the software package Interactive Heat Transfer, v2.0. This supplement is intended to help students focus on the key concepts from the text, verify their solutions by comparing them to the authors' own worked solutions and use computer tools to explore the behavior of the systems in question. Each worked solution follows the structured problem solving approach from the text. Comments throughout the solution help in explaining the thought process and a ‘Comments’ section at the end of each solutions discusses reasonableness and/or implications of the answer. Introduction to Heat Transfer, 4th Edition – the de facto standard text for heat transfer – is noted for its readability, comprehensiveness and relevancy. Now revised to include clarified learning objectives, chapter summaries and many new problems. The fourth edition, like previous editions, continues to support four student learning objectives, desired attributes of any first course in heat transfer: 1. Learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer delineate pertinent transport phenomena for any process or system involving heat transfer. 2. Use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures. 3. Develop representative models of real processes and systems. 4. Draw conclusions concerning process/systems design or performance from the attendant analysis. As a best-selling book in the field, Fundamentals of Heat & Mass Transfer, 5th Edition provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer. Noted for its crystal clear presentation and easy-to-follow problem solving methodology. Incropera and Dewitt's systematic approach to the first law develops reader confidence in using this essential tool for thermal analysis.
