10th European Conference on Mixing

$340.00

Traditionally, fluid mixing and the related multiphase contacting processes have always been regarded as an empirical technology. Many aspects of mixing, dispersing and contacting were related to power draw, but understanding of the phenomena was limited or qualitative at the most. In particular during the last decade, however, plant operation targets have tightened and product specifications have become stricter. The public awareness as to safety and environmental hygiene has increased. The drive towards larger degrees of sustainability in the process industries has urged for lower amounts of solvents and for higher yields and higher selectivities in chemical reactors. All this has resulted in a market pull : the need for more detailed insights in flow phenomena and processes and for better verifiable design and operation methods. Developments in miniaturisation of sensors and circuits as well as in computer technology have rendered leaps possible in computer simulation and animation and in measuring and monitoring techniques. This volume encourages a leap forward in the field of mixing by the current, overwhelming wealth of sophisticated measuring and computational techniques. This leap may be made possible by modern instrumentation, signal and data analysis, field reconstruction algorithms, computational modelling techniques and numerical recipes. [Read more]

Acid Rain

$99.99

What is loosely described as acid rain is not a new phenomenon. The burning of coal and other fossil fuels must have always resulted in the production of sulphur dioxide, and, where the combustion temperatures are high, of oxides of nitrogen. These may be present in various stages of oxidation and are often referred to as simply SOx and NOx. The Clean Air Act 1956 with its limitations on the burning of raw coal in urban areas has virtually eliminated smog in British cities but has not directly reduced the SOx emissions. It is only during the last decade or so that Acid Rain has become a topic of discussion vying with nuclear energy in its emotive power. Initially attention was mainly concerned with the alleged effect of these gases and the acids formed therefrom on lakes and rivers in Scandinavia. This concern was soon followed by reports of serious damage to, for instance, the Black Forest, and, more locally, to lakes in the Galloway area and damage in other parts of Scotland. In the case of these and many other examples, suggestions, still to be verified, have been made about the probable origin of the pollutants. [Read more]

Acoustic Emission - Beyond the Millennium

$155.00

The theme of the 15th International Acoustic Emission Symposium (IAES15) was set as 'practicality for life-extension and maintenance of plants and structures'. Special emphasis was placed on the review of acoustic emission (AE) research and applications in the 20th century and its future in the 21st century. The technique for monitoring defects and abnormal vibrations due to machine failures is vitally important for the safety of structures in a modern society. AE, as a passive, rather than an active NDT method, has drawn much attention because of its applicability to on-stream surveillance of structures. One important point is its capability to acquire data very simply but with high sensitivity so that the development of a non-contact sensing technique is particularly important. A quantitative method to evaluate structural integrity and remaining life from the detected AE signals is strongly required. Quantitative analysis, based on inverse procedures, has provided a certain solution, but has not been utilized widely enough in structures due to its complexity. Its applicability is limited partly because the accuracy of solutions depends on noise levels and partly because the phenomenon is usually non-reproducible. AE is expected to be a next-generation technique not only to monitor conditions but also for the repair of damaged structures, combined with an active-adaptive technique using a 'solid state actuator'. 'Smart Materials and Structures' are known in this respect. AE is considered to be a very promising technique, together with such sensing techniques as optical fiber, shape memory alloy and electro-rheological fluid. Thus, AE can play a very important roll in monitoring, evaluating and repairing structures. In this workshop, a limited number of invited papers are presented for technical discussion to review the achievements of AE research and applications in the 20th century. The proceedings are entitled Acoustic Emission - Beyond th [Read more]

Acoustical Imaging

$175.50

The International Acoustical Imaging Symposium has been held continuously since 1968 as a unique forum for advanced research, promoting the sharing of technology, developments, methods and theory among all areas of acoustics. The interdisciplinary nature of the Symposium and the wide international participation are two of its main strengths. Scientists from around the world present their papers in an informal environment conducive to lively discussion and cross-fertilization. The fact that a loyal community of scientists has supported this Series since 1968 is evidence of its impact on the field. The Symposium Series continues to thrive in a busy calendar of scientific meetings without the infrastructure of a professional society. It does so because those who attend and those who rely on the Proceedings as a well-known reference work acknowledge its value. This Volume 28 of the Proceedings likewise contains an excellent collection of papers presented in six major categories, offering both a broad perspective on the state-of-the-art in the field as well as an in-depth look at its leading edge research.

Lubricating Grease Manufacturing Technology

$50.00

About the Book: Lubricating grease (or grease, to use a short name), leaving aside synthetic grease for the moment, is arguably amongst the highest ""value added"" petroleum products. Lubricating greases play very crucial role in the performance of automobiles, industrial machinery and appliances which almost every one of us use, rely upon or work with everyday. Lubricating greases account for about 5% of the global consumption of the lubricants, which in turn account for about 1% of all petroleum products. Thus, in volume terms, lubricating greases constitute a relatively small, specialized industry. Nonetheless, the importance of lubricating greases cannot be overemphasized. The world would quite literally grind to a halt without lubricating greases. There are not many books on lubricating greases. Even the very few books that are available in English language, largely encapsulate the work and knowledge developed in North America and West Europe. Significant scientific and technological advancements were achieved in the erstwhile ""East Bloc"" countries during the second half of the 20th century. However, it is only over the last two decades that those outside the erstwhile ""East Bloc"" have been getting glimpses of the prolific work done by scientists and technologists in that part of the world. This book endeavours to further this process in a small way. Contents: Overview of Lubricating Greases Dispersion Medium of Lubricating Greases Dispersed Phase of Lubricating Grease Additives and Fillers Characteristics of Lubricating Grease Production Technology. Its Main Stages and their Significance in Formation of Structure and Properties of Greases Processing Conditions and Layouts of Grease Manufacturing Plants. Determination of their Capacity Selection of Equipment for Individual Stages of Lubricating Grease Manufacturing Process Automation of Manufacturing Processes, In-Process Inspection of Quality o...
