Design and Simulation of Two-Stroke Engines

By Gordon P. Blair

The book is unique in that it presents in a single volume the whole spectrum of two-stroke technology. The material is derived from the many years the author has spent researching and consulting on the subject. The reader will be brought right up to date on such important topics such as computer simulation, engine performance, fuel efficiency, noise, and exhaust emissions. Chapter Two, a most demanding read, explains in great detail the author's established theory of unsteady, compressible flow through engine ducting. This theory is the foundation of the GPB computer simulation code. This engine modelling software allows for the complete prediction of engine performance from torque to fuel consumption to exhaust emissions. Scavenging and combustion specific to the two-stroke engine are dealt with in individual chapters. Chapter Five describes the structure of the computer model and the required input data. Several real world examples of computer models are given including a relatively low performance chainsaw and a high performance racing motorcycle.

Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration

By Shan K. Wang 

Air-conditioning  is a process that simultaneously conditions air; distributes it combined with the outdoor air to the conditioned space; and at the same time controls and maintains the required space’s temperature, humidity, air movement, air cleanliness, sound level, and pressure differential within predetermined limits for the health and comfort of the occupants, for product processing, or both. Refrigeration is the cooling effect of the process of extracting heat from a lower temperature heat source, a substance or cooling medium, and transferring it to a higher temperature heat sink, probably atmospheric air and surface water, to maintain the temperature of the heat source below that of the surroundings.

The Electrical Power Engineering Handbook

By Grigsby, L.L 

The generation, delivery, and utilization of electric power and energy remain among the most challenging and exciting fields of electrical engineering. The astounding technological developments of our age are highly dependent upon a safe, reliable, and economic supply of electric power. The objective of The Electric Power Engineering Handbook is to provide a contemporary overview of this far-reaching field as well as a useful guide and educational resource for its study. It is intended to define electric power engineering by bringing together the core of knowledge from all of the many topics encompassed by the field. The articles are written primarily for the electric power engineering professional who is seeking factual information and secondarily for the professional from other engineering disciplines who wants an overview of the entire field or specific information on one aspect of it. The book is organized into 15 sections in an attempt to provide comprehensive coverage of the generation, transformation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power and energy as well as the modeling, analysis, planning, design, monitoring, and control of electric power systems. The individual articles within the 15 sections are different from most technical publications.

Digital Design-5th Edition

By Morris Mano

Since the fourth edition of Digital Design, the commercial availability of devices using  digital technology to receive, manipulate, and transmit information seems to have exploded. Cell phones and handheld devices of various kinds offer new, competing features almost daily. Underneath the attractive graphical user interface of all of these devices sits a digital system that processes data in a binary format. The theoretical foundations of these systems have not changed much; indeed, one could argue that the stability of the core theory, coupled with modern design tools, has promoted the widespread response of manufacturers to the opportunities of the marketplace. Consequently, our refinement of our text has been guided by the need to equip our graduates with a solid understanding of digital machines and to introduce them to the methodology of modern design.

Programmable Controllers Theory and Implementation

2nd Edition-By L.A. Bryan

Since the first edition of this book in 1988, the capabilities of programmable logic controllers have grown by leaps and bounds. Likewise, the applications of PLCs have grown with them. In fact, in today’s increasingly computer controlled environment, it is almost impossible to find a technical industry that does not use programmable controllers in one form or another. To respond to these phenomenal changes, we introduce the second edition of Programmable Controllers: Theory and Implementation. This second edition, like the first, provides a comprehensive theoretical, yet practical, look at all aspects of PLCs and their associated devices and systems.

However, this version goes one step further with new chapters on advanced PLC topics, such as I/O bus networks, fuzzy logic, the IEC 1131-3 programming standard, process control, and PID algorithms. This new edition also presents revised, up-to-date information about existing topics, with expanded graphics and new, hands-on examples. Furthermore, the new layout of the book with features like two-tone graphics, key terms lists, well-defined headings and sections, callout icons, and a revised, expanded glossary makes the information presented even easier to understand.

Observe various secondary storage systems- Hard Disk, Flash drives, CD/ DVD drive.

A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk or hard drive, is something used by computers to store information. Hard disks use magnetic recording (similar to the way recording is done on magnetic tapes) to store information on rotating circular platters. The capacity of a hard drive is usually measured in gigabytes (GB), however hard disc capacity can also be measured in terabytes when the capacity is over 1000 gigabytes. A gigabyte is one thousand megabytes and a megabyte is one million bytes, which means that a gigabyte is one billion bytes. Some hard drives are so large that their capacity is measured in terabytes, (TB) where one terabyte is a thousand gigabytes (1 TB = 1000 GB). Very early Consumer Grade hard drives were measured in megabytes.

Basic of Microcontroller

A microcontroller (sometimes abbreviated µC, uC or MCU) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of Ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a typically small amount of RAM. Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications.

Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded systems. By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even more devices and processes. Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, integrating analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems.

In addition, there have been substantial enhancements in transmission and multiplexing

Observe the power supply (SMPS) and measure their voltage levels of a given SMPS.

A switched-mode power supply (switching-mode power supply, switch-mode power supply, SMPS, or switcher) is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently. Like other power supplies, an SMPS transfers power from a source, like mains power, to a load, such as a personal computer, while converting voltage and current characteristics. Unlike a linear power supply, the pass transistor of a switching-mode supply continually switches between low-dissipation, full-on and full-off states, and spends very little time in the high dissipation

Fiber-Optic Communication System by GOVIND P AGRAWAL- 3rd edition

Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1992, the state of the art of fiber-optic communication systems has advanced dramatically despite the relatively short period of only 10 years between the first and third editions. For example, the highest capacity of commercial fiber-optic links available in 1992 was only 2.5 Gb/s. A mere 4 years later, the wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) systems with the total capacity of 40 Gb/s became available commercially. By 2001, the capacity of commercial WDM systems exceeded 1.6 Tb/s, and the prospect of lightwave systems operating at 3.2 Tb/s or more were in sight. During the last 2 years, the capacity of transoceanic lightwave systems installed worldwide has exploded. Moreover, several other undersea networks were in the construction phase in December 2001. A global network covering 250,000 km with a capacity of 2.56 Tb/s (64 WDM channels at 10 Gb/s over 4 fiber pairs) is scheduled to be operational in 2002. Several conference papers presented in 2001 have demonstrated that lightwave systems operating at a bit rate of more than 10 Tb/s are within reach. Just a few years ago it was unimaginable that lightwave systems would approach the capacity of even 1 Tb/s. Download
