	CLEAN AND EFFICIENT COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS: Development Toward Advanced Technologies By Heinz Termuehlen and Werner Emsperger To order this book and see full description click here.

OVERVIEW
This book presents the evolution toward advanced coal-fired power plants. Advanced power plants with an efficiency level of 45% are today commercially available and even more efficient plants are in their development phase. Even though the book concentrates on pulverized coal-fired power plants, it also discusses and compares other options like fluidized-bed combustion and coal gasification.

	HEAT EXCHANGER ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES By Michael J. Nee To order this book and see full description click here.
OVERVIEW
Most exchangers selected are thermally correct but some constructions are not suitable for an application and can cause field problems. Constructions having a negative influence on plant operation, maintenance, metallurgy, requirements, cost, handling, shipping, freezing, recirculation, tolerances, manifolding, distribution, noise, availability, and pressure drop, to name a few, are given. The effect of adjoining non-exchanger related constructions on performance should not be overlooked. A/C and electronic cooling system problems can often be traced to undersized mating equipment and other constructions as evidenced by examples. The book addresses hundreds of field problems faced by the author over a career. The effect of filters, racks, screen rooms, packaging, heat sinks, hot spots, blowers, and ducting on performance is included. Techniques for identifying, correcting and avoiding problem areas are given. They are arranged to aid the reader in recognizing them. The book was designed for training engineering and non-engineering personnel. Hardcover 2003 360 pp. ISBN: 0-7918-0167-5 Order No. 801675 $120 (list) / $96 (member)

	AXIAL-FLOW COMPRESSORS A Strategy for Aerodynamic Design and Analysis by Ronald H. Aungier To order this book and see full description click here.
OVERVIEW
This book provides a thorough description of an aerodynamic design and analysis system for axial-flow compressors. It describes the basic fluid dynamic and thermodynamic principles, empirical models and numerical methods used for the full range of procedures and analytical tools that an engineer needs for virtually any type of axial-flow compressor aerodynamic design or analysis activity. It reviews and evaluates several design strategies that have been recommended in the literature or which have been found to be effective. It gives a complete description of an actual working system, such that readers can implement all or part of the system. Engineers responsible for developing, maintaining or improving design and analysis systems can benefit greatly from this type of reference. The technology has become so complex and the role of computers so pervasive that about the only way this can be done today is to concentrate on a specific design and analysis system. The author provides practical methodology as well as the details needed to implement the suggested procedures.

	Hydraulic Fluids: A Guide to Selection, Test Methods, and Use by M. Radhakrishnan To order this book and see full description click here.

OVERVIEW
Hydraulic fluids are the most widely consumed of all industrial lubricants. This book covers a broad range of issues that are important to engineers concerned with the selection, application, and maintenance of hydraulic fluids used in industrial machinery. The author provides a comprehensive and ready reference to various hydraulic fluid properties, such as biodegradability and fire resistance, as well as relevant hydraulic fluid test procedures. Also discussed are re-refining, reclamation, and disposal issues pertaining to used hydraulic fluids. This book is unique in that it brings together material that is currently not available from a single source, in a concise and useful format. A handy and useful guide for younger as well as more experienced practicing hydraulics and plant engineers, in addition to engineers in fluid power transmission and the mechanical engineering industries.

	PASSIVE VIBRATION ISOLATION By Eugene I. Rivin To order this book and see full description click here.
OVERVIEW
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of principles of design and means for realization of passive vibration isolation systems for real-life objects. Chapters describe: --the basic analytical tools for designing such systems; --principles and criteria for assigning principal parameters (natural frequencies and damping values) necessary for successful functioning of passive vibration isolation systems for major groups of objects (vibration sensitive objects, vibration generating objects, general purpose machinery); --static and dynamic characteristics of the most widely used materials for vibration isolators; --and basic designs of vibration isolators for various applications. A special emphasis is given to effective techniques and methods that are not yet widely used in the practice of vibration isolation.
