Pollution Prevention and Control: Part II Material and Energy Balances

Linfield C. Brown , Paul Mac Berthouex

This book explains the two fundamental tools for process analysis and design - the material balance and the energy balance. A material balance is needed for virtually every pollution prevention and control problem. A material balance and an energy balance are needed when accounting for the use and flow of energy. Twenty five case studies and 85 examples explain how these tools are used in a variety of air, water, wastewater, and solid waste management problems. Students will learn about these areas of engineering while mastering the design tools, and be introduced to some fundamental concepts for chemical and biological reactions, material separations, and economic evaluations.

Thermal Modelling of Electric Machines

Dr Moez Hadj Kacem , Dr Souhir Tounsi , Pr Rafik Neji

Overheated electric machines have a considerable impact on the active parts that constitute their life span. This is why it is important to know the distribution of temperatures that they undergo. Besides, the association of machines with the static converters became classic but contributes to the increase of losses. It is therefore just as important to determine their contribution to the system’s warming-up.
The presented work describes an electric, magnetic and thermal analysis of a synchronous motor to permanent magnet and intended axial flux to cooling using the node method are elaborated. Results of simulations served to us validate models in various working conditions.

Electric Drive Systems and Operation

Valery Vodovozov

Foundation of Physics for Scientists and Engineers Volume I: Mechanics, Heat and Sound

Ali R. Fazely

The genesis behind writing a textbook in calculus-based physics stemmed from the fact that most existing textbooks are too detailed and voluminous. In writing this book, the author has minimized inconsequential details and only concentrated on physics concepts. The balance among different components of the book was also paramount. The author has avoided citing too many unwarranted examples and homework problems which create a fatigue environment for the student. This book provides an excellent foundation in physics for the students majoring in science and engineering.
