Book excerpt: The X-15 was the ultimate "X" vehicle. Built in the 1950s, she became the fastest and highest-flying winged aircraft of its time. During 199 flights from 1959 through 1968, she collected data about hypersonic flight that was invaluable to aeronautics and to developers of the space shuttle. This book describes the genesis of the program, the design and construction of the aircraft, years of research flights and the experiments that flew aboard them.-publisher description.

Download or read book The Design and Engineering of Curiosity written by Emily Lakdawalla and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the most complex machine ever sent to another planet: Curiosity. It is a one-ton robot with two brains, seventeen cameras, six wheels, nuclear power, and a laser beam on its head. No one human understands how all of its systems and instruments work. This essential reference to the Curiosity mission explains the engineering behind every system on the rover, from its rocket-powered jetpack to its radioisotope thermoelectric generator to its fiendishly complex sample handling system. Its lavishly illustrated text explains how all the instruments work -- its cameras, spectrometers, sample-cooking oven, and weather station -- and describes the instruments' abilities and limitations. It tells you how the systems have functioned on Mars, and how scientists and engineers have worked around problems developed on a faraway planet: holey wheels and broken focus lasers. And it explains the grueling mission operations schedule that keeps the rover working day in and day out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here readers will find a summary of proceedings at a highly important NATO workshop. The ARW Advanced Combustion and Aerothermal Technologies: Environmental Protection and Pollution Reductions, was held in Kiev, May 2006. The workshop was co-directed by Profs. N. Syred and A.Khalatov, winners of the NATO Scientific Prize 2002, and was organized by the Institute of Thermophysics (Ukraine) and Cardiff University, UK. The primary workshop objective was to assess the existing knowledge on advanced combustion and aerothermal technologies providing reduced environmental impact.
Download or read book Principles of Solar Gas Turbines for Electricity Generation written by Amos Madhlopa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book dedicated to solar gas turbines, providing fundamental knowledge and state-of-the-art developments in the field. A gas turbine is a heat engine in which a mixture of fuel and air is burned in a chamber that is an integral part of the flow circuit of the working fluid. The burnt gas mixture expands and turns the turbine, which can be connected to a generator for electricity production. Solar gas turbines offer an important alternative to conventional gas turbines driven by non-renewable, polluting fossil fuels such as diesel or natural gas. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic as well as numerous illustrations.
Download or read book Standing up for a Sustainable World written by Claude Henry and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-25 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world has witnessed extraordinary economic growth, poverty reduction and increased life expectancy and population since the end of WWII, but it has occurred at the expense of undermining life support systems on Earth and subjecting future generations to the real risk of destabilising the planet. This timely book exposes and explores this colossal environmental cost and the dangerous position the world is now in. Standing up for a Sustainable World is written by and about key individuals who have not only understood the threats to our planet, but also become witness to them and confronted them.

Download or read book Aerosol Sampling written by James H. Vincent and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-04-04 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive account of the important field of aerosol sampling as it is applied to the measurement of aerosols that are ubiquitous in occupational and living environments, both indoor and outdoor. It is written in four parts: Part A contains 9 chapters that describe the current knowledge of the physical science that underpins the process of aerosol sampling. Part B contains 4 chapters, which present the basis of standards for aerosols, including the link with human exposure by inhalation. Part C contains 7 chapters that cover the development of practical aerosol sampling instrumentation, and how technical designs and methods have evolved over the years in order that aerosol sampling may be carried out in a manner matching the health-related and other criteria that have been proposed as parts of standards. Finally Part D contains 6 chapters that describe how a wide range of aerosol sampling instruments have performed when they have been applied in the field in both occupational and ambient atmospheric environments, including how different instruments, nominally intended to measure the same aerosol fraction, compare when used side-by-side in the real world. The book draws together all that is known about aerosol sampling, for the benefit of researchers and practitioners in occupational and environmental health and all other fields of science and engineering where aerosols are of interest.

The books available today are also not of a nature that approaches the subject from the view point of fundamentals particularly with reference to new technologies. · Summary and questions at the end of each chapter.· Numerous illustrations. About The Book: This book is an authoritative source for understanding the subject of the clean conversion of biomass to energy and upgraded fuels - gases and liquids for heat, electricity and transportation from the vantage point of developing countries like India and other oil importing nations bestowed with bio-resource. It aims at creating an understanding of (a) the magnitude and nature of biomass resources for energy and fuels, largely for India, (b) the variety of processes that are available for conversion of the wastes into energy or fuels, (c) the processes, both microbial (anaerobic digestion) and thermo-chemical (combustion and gasification) and a critical assessment of the performance on a technical and environmental basis addressing those approaches that make greater importance in terms of scale to developing countries like India, (d) processes that have not reached the commercial relevance yet - like Stirling engine, fuel cells, in particular direct carbon fuel cell and microbial fuel cell and could become relevant in coming times, (e) the routes for liquid bio-fuels - first generation fuels like ethanol and plant oils as well as second generation fuels such as cellulosic ethanol and gasification -Fischer-Tropsch synthesis based biodiesel.
