Chuck Hellier “Handbook of Nondestructive Evaluation"
McGraw-Hill Professional | 2001-03-14 | ISBN: 0070281211 | 603 pages | PDF | 9,2 MB
Nondestructive testing has become the leading product testing standard, and Handbook of Non-Destructive Evaluations by Chuck Hellier is the unparalleled one-stop, A-to-Z guide to this subject. Covering the background, benefits, limitations, and applications of each, this decision-simplifying resource looks at both the major and emerging nondestructive evaluation methods, including: visual testing…penetrant testing…magnetic particle testing…radiographic testing…Ultrasonic testing… eddy current testing…thermal infrared testing…and acoustic emission testing. In clear, understandable terms, the Handbook shows you how to interpret results and formulate the right decisions based on them, making it a welcome resource for engineers, metallurgists, quality control specialists, and anyone else involved in product design, manufacture, or maintenance. The Handbook is also the ideal prep tool if you’re seeking certification in AWS/CSWIP, ASNT Level III, ACCP, and IRRSP programs. If you’re looking for a one-stop answer to all your nondestructive testing questions, your search ends here.

Cooling Tower Fundamentals
Publisher: The Marley Cooling Tower Company | ISBN: N/A | edition 1985 | PDF | 116 pages | 51 mb
The following text is devoted to identifying the primary and peripheral considerations and offering approaches refned by some eighty years of experience in the cooling tower industry. The goal is to assure the implementation of water cooling systems which will satisfy all design and environmental requirements with sound engineering and responsible cost.This manual is not intended to be all-encompassing and thoroughly defnitive. The entire scope of cooling towers is too broad, and the technology far too advanced, to permit complete coverage in a single publication. Separate brochures by SPX Cooling Technologies, either existing or planned, cover individual topics in depth. The intent herein is to provide a level of basic knowledge which will facilitate dialogue, and understanding, between user and manufacturer.

Water Waves: The Mathematical Theory with Applications (Wiley Classics Library)
Water Waves: The Mathematical Theory with Applications (Wiley Classics Library)
J. J. Stoker
Wiley-Interscience | 1992-01-24 | ISBN : 0471570346 | Pages: 600 | PDF | 25.2 MB
Offers an integrated account of the mathematical hypothesis of wave motion in liquids with a free surface, subjected to gravitational and other forces. Uses both potential and linear wave equation theories, together with applications such as the Laplace and Fourier transform methods, conformal mapping and complex variable techniques in general or integral equations, methods employing a Green's function. Coverage includes fundamental hydrodynamics, waves on sloping beaches, problems involving waves in shallow water, the motion of ships and much more.
