Patterned after volumes in McGraw-Hill's "Time-Saver Standards" series in the architecture program (and Wiley's "Architectural Graphic Standards") and vastly expanding the range of the best-selling "Mechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook" by Chironis, this major new handbook presents a full array of key machine elements used in a wide range of applications. Filled with thousands of illustrations, it provides a quick-look-up resource of pictorial detail (worth many pages of text) for the busy engineer looking for the right device for the right application all systematically organized for easy access.

Green Power: Perspectives on Sustainable Electricity Generation provides a systematic overview of the current state of green power and renewable electrical energy production in the world. Presenting eight in-depth case studies of green power production and dissemination, it illustrates the experiences and best practices of various countries on this topic of critical importance. The book's case studies provide readers with policy, business, and societal perspectives. They examine the differences in each country's natural endowments, cultural make-up, technological development, public-policy concerns, and institutional incentive structures relative to the advancement of green and sustainable energy. Considers China's energy profile and what is being done to reduce the country's reliance on coal Describes the cultural foundations and institutional environment that gave birth to Germany's energy revolution Supplies an overview of the renewable energy sector in Spain and analyzes its future prospects in light of recent economic difficulties Reports on French Polynesia's progress in its quest to generate half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020 Investigates the feasibility of biomass as a large-scale electricity generation option Explores the vision of power generation in space that could solve mankind's energy needs permanently By illustrating the experiences of other nations, the book outlines valuable lessons learned and best practices that can be extremely helpful to other countries as they seek a greener energy profile. Supplying a timely overview of renewable and non-renewable electric power sources, it provides in-depth analysis of the key factors that affect success. It also identifies practices that have been precursors to failure so you can avoid making the same mistakes in your quest to contribute to the long-overdue advancement of green energy.

The development of clean, sustainable energy systems is one of the pre-eminent issues of our time. Most projections indicate that combustion-based energy conversion systems will continue to be the predominant approach for the majority of our energy usage, and gas turbines will continue to be important combustion-based energy conversion devices for many decades to come, used for aircraft propulsion, ground-based power generation, and mechanical-drive applications. This book compiles the key scientific and technological knowledge associated with gas turbine emissions into a single authoritative source. The book has three sections: the first section reviews major issues with gas turbine combustion, including design approaches and constraints, within the context of emissions. The second section addresses fundamental issues associated with pollutant formation, modeling, and prediction. The third section features case studies from manufacturers and technology developers, emphasizing the system-level and practical issues that must be addressed in developing different types of gas turbines that emit pollutants at acceptable levels.

Aviation fuel hydrant systems at airports are the penultimate step in the delivery chain of aviation fuel into aircraft. It is therefore imperative to ensure that the quality and cleanliness of the jet fuel in the hydrant is maintained at all times. This publication has been developed to assist in the optimisation of hydrant system operations. It provides recommended practices for operational checks, inspections and maintenance procedures to ensure aviation fuel quality assurance and cleanliness standards are met. It also provides recommendations for associated equipment, from pump sets to hydrant pit valves and for those undertaking routine checks and inspections of such equipment. This publication is applicable to owners, operators and users of aviation fuel hydrant systems at airports worldwide. It will also be of interest to procurement managers of equipment and materials for hydrant system inspection, maintenance and checking purposes, including service providers. Hydrant system designers will also find this publication useful as background information on the expectations of hydrant system owners and operators. This publication includes a free A3 annual planner pull-out/separate downloadable pdf.

Modelling and Managing Airport Performance provides an integrated view of state-of-the-art research on measuring and improving the performance of airport systems with consideration of both airside and landside operations. The considered facets of performance include capacity, delays, economic costs, noise, emissions and safety. Several of the contributions also examine policies for managing congestion and allocating sparse capacity, as well as for mitigating the externalities of noise, emissions, and safety/risk. Key features: * Provides a global perspective with contributing authors from Europe, North and South America with backgrounds in academia, research institutions, government, and industry * Contributes to the definition, interpretation, and shared understanding of airport performance measures and related concepts * Considers a broad range of measures that quantify operational and environmental performance, as well as safety and risk * Discusses concepts and strategies for dealing with the management of airport performance * Presents state-of-the-art modelling capabilities and identifies future modelling needs Themed around 3 sections -- Modelling Airport Performance, Assessing Airport Impacts, and Managing Airport Performance and Congestion -- Modelling and Managing Airport Performance is a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the global air transportation community.

Este libro es un complemento didáctico que muestra al lector, de forma sencilla y completa, todo lo concerniente al conocimiento y uso de los aceros y las aleaciones de aluminios, tanto en lo que respecta a sus características como a sus tecnologías de unión.

Nuevo reglamento que sustituye al anterior RD 3.099/1977, de 8 de septiembre, por el que se aprueba el Reglamento de Seguridad para Plantas e Instalaciones Frigoríficas (y sus posteriores modificaciones). En esta edicion se incluye la correccion de errores del RD 138/2011 publicada en el BOE el 28 de julio de 2011

La empresa Standard Electrica ha sido una pieza fundamental en el sector de telecomunicaciones en España. Las fechas en las que se centra la obra, entre 1877 y 1975, coinciden con la introducción de las telecomunicaciones en nuestro pais, su desarrollo bajo la proteccion del Estado y la apertura al libre mercado. La riqueza y variedad de las fuentes y la adopcion de un enfoque interdisciplinar, en el que conviven las aportaciones de la historia, la tecnologia, la economia y la ciencia politica, refrendan un acercamiento mas que fiel a la realidad del pasado, siempre complejo y dificil de aprehender en su verdadera dimension y profundidad. Este solido armazon presta credibilidad a la presencia relevante y protagonista de las personas, con sus nombres y apellidos, aspecto muy acentuado a lo largo del libro.
