Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning: Analysis and Design, 4th Edition

This edition reflects the latest results of research sponsored by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the continued development of ASHRAE standards regarding indoor air quality, comfort and refrigerants. The chapter on air-conditioning systems has been revised—increased emphasis has been placed on control of HVAC systems by adding more explanation of control theory and more detailed illustrations of typical systems and control. Data and references have been completely updated. Existing problems have been revised and new ones added.

Explore the electromagnetic principles at work in today’s wireless systems

Without electromagnetics, the explosive growth of today’s cutting-edge wireless systems would simply not be possible. In fact, the circuits, antennas, and signal transmission in wireless systems all depend on electromagnetic principles. That’s why engineers with a background in electromagnetics are in high demand.

Stuart Wentworth’s Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with Engineering Applications will help you develop a solid foundation in this exciting field. The text eases you into electromagnetics and vector algebra, beginning with electrostatic fields. Once you’ve mastered these fundamentals, you’ll move on to such topics as magnetostatic fields, Maxwell’s equations, and plane wave propagation. Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to explore such fascinating applications as transmission lines, antennas, waveguide, electromagnetic interference, and microwave engineering.
