Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An immense treasure trove containing hundreds of equipment symptoms, arranged so as to allow swift identification and elimination of the causes. These rules of thumb are the result of preserving and structuring the immense knowledge of experienced engineers collected and compiled by the author - an experienced engineer himself - into an invaluable book that helps younger engineers find their way from symptoms to causes. This sourcebook is unrivalled in its depth and breadth of coverage, listing five important aspects for each piece of equipment: * area of application * sizing guidelines * capital cost including difficult-to-find installation factors * principles of good practice, and * good approaches to troubleshooting. Extensive cross-referencing takes into account that some items of equipment are used for many different purposes, and covers not only the most familiar types, but special care has been taken to also include less common ones. Consistent terminology and SI units are used throughout the book, while a detailed index quickly and reliably directs readers, thus aiding engineers in their everyday work at chemical plants: from keywords to solutions in a matter of minutes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wie rechnete man bevor es Computer gab? Mit welchen Rechenhilfsmitteln konnten Ingenieure Maschinen konstruieren, die sicher und effizient funktionierten, Architekten Bauwerke planen, deren Statik sicher war, Wissenschaftler aus Meßreihen die Gesetze der Natur errechnen, und Kaufleute Gewinn und Verlust zahlenmäßg im Griff haben? Mit Rechenschiebern, Rechenmaschinen, Tabellenwerken und mathematischen Spezialinstrumenten erbrachten unsere Vorfahren verblüffende Leistungen. Dies galt ganz besonders in der Zeit der Zweiten Industriellen Revolution zwischen der Mitte des 19. und des 20. Jahrhunderts, als eine ganze Reihe technischer Erfindungen das Leben dramatisch veränderte, wie Strom und Licht, Auto und Flugzeug, Telefon und Radio, und viel und vielseitig gerechnet werden mußte, um all dies zu erschaffen. Zu diesem Thema trafen sich Sammler und Forscher von Rechenschiebern und anderen Rechenhilfsmitteln im Oktober 2013 in Berlin zu einer internationalen Konferenz unter dem Motto "Rechnen für Wissenschaft, Entwicklung und Produktion: Rechengeräte für die zweite industrielle Revolution". How did we compute in the ages before the advent of the modern digital computer? What were the instruments to help engineers, scientists, business men and others to perform arithmetic and other mathematical computations for their work? Using slide rules, adding machines, tables, and special instruments our ancestors achieved stunning results, particularly in the times of the Second Industrial Revolution. In the time frame from 1850 to 1950 a broad wave of inventions and technological developments changed life dramatically: Electricity provided power and illumination, cars and airplanes made us a mobile society, telephones and radio gave us unprecedented communication. All that required computation in one way or other. The International Meeting of collector and researchers of slide rules and other historical computing instruments of 2013 took place in Berlin, the largest European industrial metropolis in this period. This richly illustrated book is a collection of papers from this conference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers, Fifth Edition, provides solutions, common sense techniques, shortcuts, and calculations to help chemical and process engineers deal with practical on-the-job problems. It discusses physical properties for proprietary materials, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sector heuristics, and process design, along with closed-loop heat transfer systems, heat exchangers, packed columns, and structured packings. Organized into 27 chapters, the book begins with an overview of formulae and data for sizing piping systems for incompressible and compressible flow. It then moves to a discussion of design recommendations for heat exchangers, practical equations for solving fractionation problems, along with design of reactive absorption processes. It also considers different types of pumps and presents narrative as well as tabular comparisons and application notes for various types of fans, blowers, and compressors. The book also walks the reader through the general rules of thumb for vessels, how cooling towers are sized based on parameters such as return temperature and supply temperature, and specifications of refrigeration systems. Other chapters focus on pneumatic conveying, blending and agitation, energy conservation, and process modeling. Chemical engineers faced with fluid flow problems will find this book extremely useful. Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers brings together solutions, information and work-arounds that engineers in the process industry need to get their job done. New material in the Fifth Edition includes physical properties for proprietary materials, six new chapters, including pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical sector heuristics, process design with simulation software, and guidelines for hazardous materials and processes Now includes SI units throughout alongside

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 18th and 19th centuries saw the emergence of new intermediary types of knowledge in areas such as applied mechanics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, which came to be labeled as engineering science, transforming technology into the scientific discipline that we know today. This book analyzes how the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries and the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries provided the intellectual, social, economic and institutional foundations for the emergence of engineering science. The book then traces the rise of engineering science from the 18th century through the 19th century and concludes by showing how it led to new technological developments in such areas as steel production, the invention of internal combustion engines, the creation of automobiles and airplanes, and the formulation of Mass Production and Scientific Management all of which brought about major transformations in the materials, power sources, transportation and production techniques that have come to shape our modern world.
