Product Description:
This comprehensive volume provides a complete, authoritative, up-to-date reference for all aspects of power plant engineering. Coverage ranges from engineering economics to coal and limestone handling, from design processes to plant thermal heat balances. Both theory and practical applications are covered, giving engineers the information needed to plan, design, construct, upgrade, and operate power plants. Power Plant Engineering is the culmination of experience of hundreds of engineers from Black & Veatch, a leading firm in the field for more than 80 years. The authors review all major power generating technologies, giving particular emphasis to current approaches. Special features of the book include: * More than 1000 figures and lines drawings that illustrate all aspects of the subject. * Coverage of related components and systems in power plants such as turbine-generators, feedwater heaters, condenser, and cooling towers. * Definitions and analyses of the features of various plant systems. * Discussions of promising future technologies. Power Plant Engineering will be the standard reference in the professional engineer's library as the source of information on steam power plant generation. In addition, the clear presentation of the material will make this book suitable for use by students preparing to enter the field.

Considered one of the major innovators in the flat-rolling of steel, Vladimir B. Ginzburg holds more than two dozen patents in the industry. In this volume, Ginzburg brings together other industry pioneers to define the latest developments in flat-rolled processes. This includes the revolutionary introduction of computer-based technology in both new and existing conventional rolling mills. Each section provides a brief topic summary and then goes on to describe the latest advances specific to that area. Main subjects include advanced hot rolling mills, advanced cold rolling mills, control systems, and the production of advanced flat-rolled steel products.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with the efficient numerical solution of the partial differential equations that describe fluid dynamics. CFD techniques are commonly used in the many areas of engineering where fluid behavior is an important factor. Traditional fields of application include aerospace and automotive design, and more recently, bioengineering and consumer and medical electronics. With Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics Techniques, 2nd edition, Rainald Lhner introduces the reader to the techniques required to achieve efficient CFD solvers, forming a bridge between basic theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the finite element method and its use in an industrial context where methods have to be both as simple but also as robust as possible.

Written for the piper and engineer in the field, this volume fills a huge void in piping literature since the "Rip Weaver" books of the 90s were taken out of print. Focussing not only on Auto CAD, but also on other computer-aided design programmes as well and manual techniques not found anywhere else, the book covers the entire spectrum of needs for the piping engineer. Covering general piping systems, this basic guide for the piping engineer offers standards in practices for covered in the original "Rip Weaver" series. It is the perfect introduction to the design of piping systems, various processes and the layout of pipe work connecting the major items of equipment for the new hire, the engineering student and the veteran engineer needing a reference.

Short description:
The first edition of this Design Guide was published in 1985; it was revised in 1987 (2nd Edition), in 1992 (3rd Edition), in 1996 (4th Edition), in 1997 (5th edition) and in 2001 (6th edition). It is a basic working tool for users of BS 5950-1 Structural use of steelwork in building – Code of practice for design – Rolled and welded sections, which was first published in 1985, revised in 1990 and in 2000.
This edition is a reprint of the 6th edition, in which the section range has been updated. The tables are dual titled with the BS designation as well as the Advance (open sections), Celsius® (hot finished hollow sections) or Hybox® (cold formed hollow sections) branding.
The following structural sections are covered in this publication:
• Universal beams, Universal columns, joists, bearing piles, parallel flange channels, and
structural tees cut from Universal beams and Universal columns to BS 4-1
• ASB (asymmetric beams) Slimdek® beam produced by Corus (see Corus brochure, Advance™ sections, 09/2006))
• Equal and Unequal angles to BS EN 10056-1
• Hot-finished structural hollow sections to BS EN 10210-2
• Cold-formed structural hollow sections to BS EN 10219-2
Section ranges listed are intended to be in line with sections that are readily available at the time of printing. Some sections, which are readily available but not listed in the above standards, are also included; these sections are designated by “+” in the tables.
The editorial work for the 7th Edition was carried out by Miss E Nunez Moreno, based on the 6th edition produced by Mr A Way and Mr A S Malik, with technical assistance from Mr C M King of the SCI and Mr J C Taylor, formerly of the SCI. The 6th edition was coordinated by Mr D G Brown, of the SCI, and Mr P J Williams, formerly of the BCSA.
This publication has been jointly funded by SCI and BCSA. Acknowledgement is also given to
Corus for its support for the work leading to the preparation of the initial formulae on which the capacity tables are based.

ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780806128535
Summary: Lots of excellent industrial history
Rating: 4
While the title of the book precludes a history of the Hoover dam. I found it to contain much more. The book does give a very good acounting of the building of the Hoover Dam.It also covers the beginnigs of some of the largest corporations in the world.
