Written by one of the authors of ""The Unwritten Laws of Engineering"" and ""The Unwritten Laws of Business"", this book is suitable for professionals interested in the basic principles and practices of good mechanical design. It can help readers to apply these fundamental concepts throughout their designs.

On the 75th anniversary of its original publication, this new, second edition of the 1944 classic serves as a crucial compilation of "house rules", or a professional code. The book addresses three areas: what the beginner needs to learn at once; "laws" relating chiefly to engineering executives; and purely personal considerations for engineers.

Offers a unique blend of history, technology review, theoretical fundamentals, and design guide. The subject matter is primarily piston aeroengine superchargers - developed in Germany during the Second World War (WWII) - which are centrifugal compressors driven either by the main engine crankshaft or by an exhaust gas turbine.

Reactor physics is the physics of fission reactions and how they govern the behavior of nuclear reactors. Arguably, its origins are linked to the middle of the twentieth century and the Manhattan Project. After World War II and the introduction of nuclear reactors as a source for generating electricity, the discipline went through the rapid development to become a mature and cornerstone of nuclear engineering. Several legacy textbooks are still in use in both undergraduate and graduate nuclear engineering programs worldwide. If this is so, is there really a need for another book on nuclear reactor physics? Well, we have to note that most of those highly valued legacy textbooks were written 20 or more years ago and there is no discussion on progress being made. On another note, nuclear and reactor physics were traditionally treated as scientific discipline heavily relying on sophisticated mathematical and computational methods and tools. As such, those textbooks were a must read and master for those professionals involved with reactor physics on a daily basis. However, I am confident that today's generation of practicing technicians and engineers working in various areas of research and development and supporting safe operation of nuclear reactors, whether in nuclear power plants, nuclear marine or research reactors, would greatly benefit from a book focused on the physical phenomena and principles rather than on mathematical and numerical methods.

The second volume in a book series that aims to capture advances in computers and information in engineering research, especially by researchers and members of ASME's Computers & Information in Engineering (CIE) Division.

Not intended to be read from cover to cover, this book was designed instead to be a quick and useful reference for students, young engineers, and experienced professionals alike. It provides guidelines, advice, and technical information for preparing formal documents - covering a range of report formats.

Covers varied aspects of biomass and waste energy in use around the globe. Global interest in biomass and waste energy is apparent not only from the current usage but also from the untapped resources and its potential for greater usage.

Electromagnetic waves generate radiation energy, and they play very significant roles in our lives. Electromagnetic waves are studied in almost every scientific field from astronomy, agriculture, chemistry, medicine to physics. This book focuses on heat transfer aspects of electromagnetic waves.

Provides an overview of Canada's nuclear forensics (NF) capability in addition to general aspects of the nuclear forensics that is useful for both nuclear forensic practitioners and for countries that are signatories to the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty in establishing their NF capability.

Discusses varied aspects of solar energy in use around the globe. Contributors are experts from academia, NASA, and practicing professionals from the US, Europe, China and India. Global interest in solar energy is apparent not only from the current usage but also from the untapped resources and its potential for greater usage.
