Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Master the principles, components, circuits, and control strategies behind modern hydraulic and pneumatic systems.Fluid Power Systems Engineering is a comprehensive, application-focused guide to understanding how pressurized fluids generate, transmit, control, and convert energy into useful mechanical motion. Written for engineering students, practicing engineers, technicians, designers, and professionals working with automated machinery, this book builds fluid-power knowledge from fundamental physics through complete system design.Rather than treating hydraulic and pneumatic components as isolated pieces of hardware, the book develops the subject quantitatively. Pressure, flow, force, torque, power, efficiency, and motion are approached as engineering quantities that can be calculated, analyzed, sized, and verified. Worked examples reinforce the governing equations while maintaining careful unit tracking and practical engineering reasoning.The book begins with the foundations of fluid power, including fluid properties, pressure, flow, Pascal's law, continuity, Bernoulli's equation, viscosity, compressibility, pressure losses, and power transmission. From there, readers progress into the equipment that makes real systems work-including gear, vane, and piston pumps; hydraulic cylinders and motors; directional, pressure, and flow-control valves; reservoirs; accumulators; filters; and conditioning equipment.A major portion of the book is devoted to hydraulic circuit analysis and design, helping readers understand how components interact as a complete system rather than simply memorizing symbols or component names. Topics include sequencing circuits, regenerative circuits, rapid-traverse systems, high-low pump arrangements, accumulator circuits, load-holding systems, speed control, and system efficiency.The later chapters connect traditional fluid power with the technologies driving modern industrial automation. Readers examine solenoid-operated valves, sensors, relays, PLCs, ladder logic, proportional control, servo valves, feedback systems, PID control, system dynamics, stability, bandwidth, and closed-loop motion control. The text explains how electronic control provides the intelligence while hydraulic and pneumatic systems provide the force and motion required by modern machinery.Inside, readers will explore: Fluid-power fundamentals - pressure, flow, force, velocity, power, and energy transmissionHydraulic fluids and fluid mechanics - viscosity, compressibility, cavitation, Reynolds number, pressure losses, and orifice flowHydraulic pumps - positive displacement, gear, vane, and piston pumps, efficiency, cavitation, and selectionHydraulic actuators - cylinders, hydraulic motors, force, speed, torque, mounting, and performanceControl valves - directional, relief, reducing, sequence, counterbalance, unloading, and flow-control valvesHydraulic circuit design - sequencing, regeneration, accumulator circuits, load holding, speed control, and efficiencyFluid conditioning - reservoirs, accumulators, filtration, contamination control, cooling, and fluid cleanlinessPneumatic systems - compressors, receivers, gas laws, FRL units, pneumatic actuators, valves, logic, and sequencingElectrohydraulic and electropneumatic control - solenoids, sensors, PLCs, ladder logic, and electrical sequencingProportional and servo systems - continuous valve control, flow gain, positioning, velocity, and force controlSystem dynamics and motion control - feedback, PID control, tuning, natural frequency, damping, stability, and bandwidthMaintenance, troubleshooting, and safety - contami Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Master the physics, detector technologies, electronics, and measurement methods behind modern radiation detection systems.Radiation Detection Engineering: Principles, Instrumentation, and Measurement for Nuclear and Health Physics Applications provides a rigorous, practical treatment of how ionizing radiation is detected, converted into measurable signals, processed electronically, and interpreted for real-world engineering and health-physics applications.Written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in nuclear engineering, health physics, and medical physics, while also serving as a reference for practicing engineers and technical professionals, the book connects fundamental radiation physics with the instruments and quantitative measurement techniques used in laboratories, medical facilities, nuclear systems, environmental monitoring, and radiation-protection programs.Beginning with radioactive decay, radiation fields, and the interactions of charged particles, photons, and neutrons with matter, the text builds the physical foundation needed to understand detector response. It then develops the statistical framework governing radiation measurements, including counting uncertainty, background effects, and detection limits.A major portion of the book is devoted to the principal detector technologies used throughout nuclear instrumentation: Gas-filled detectors, including ionization chambers, proportional counters, and Geiger-Mueller systemsScintillation detectors, photomultiplier tubes, silicon photomultipliers, and pulse-shape discriminationSemiconductor detectors, including silicon, high-purity germanium, and compound-semiconductor technologiesNeutron detection systems, including thermal- and fast-neutron measurement methodsThe book then follows the detector signal through the complete nuclear-electronics chain, explaining charge-sensitive preamplifiers, shaping amplifiers, electronic noise, analog-to-digital conversion, multichannel analyzers, dead time, pileup, and modern digital pulse processing. Readers see how detector physics and electronics work together to determine energy resolution, stability, and count-rate performance.From there, the discussion advances into gamma-ray and charged-particle spectroscopy, including spectral features, peak analysis, radionuclide identification, detector efficiency, and quantitative measurements. The text emphasizes that a measured spectrum is the product of the entire system-from radiation interaction and detector response to electronics, calibration, and data analysis.Dedicated coverage of detector calibration, efficiency, resolution, quality assurance, and measurement traceability develops the practices required to obtain defensible quantitative results rather than merely qualitative readings. Radiation dosimetry then connects these measurements with absorbed dose, equivalent dose, effective dose, personnel monitoring, and radiation-protection applications.The final sections bring the principles together through applications in medical imaging, radiation therapy, nuclear power, industrial measurement, safeguards, homeland-security monitoring, and environmental radiation detection, demonstrating how the same fundamental detector and measurement concepts support a wide range of professional systems.Throughout the book, concepts are developed as part of a structured working textbook. Chapters include stated learning objectives, step-by-step derivations, worked calculations with units, practice problems, answer material, and summaries of important equations and results, helping readers move from theoretical understanding to practical problem solving.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Most aerospace courses teach aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, and orbital mechanics as separate subjects - and leave students to connect them alone.If you have worked through separate courses in fluid mechanics, propulsion, and astrodynamics, you have probably noticed the seams. One text treats wings in depth but skips rockets; another derives orbital transfers but assumes you already understand compressible flow; a third covers structures as an afterthought. The result is a set of methods that never quite fits together - and a nagging sense that the same physics keeps reappearing under different names.This textbook was built to close those gaps. It presents aerospace engineering as one connected discipline, building from the atmosphere upward: the physical environment first, then the fluid mechanics that turn atmospheric properties into forces, then the propulsion that generates thrust, the structures that carry loads, and the spacecraft systems that operate where the atmosphere ends.Inside, you will: - Follow every major result from first principles, with each derivation shown step by step. - See the recurring logic across topics - why a rocket nozzle and a subsonic diffuser obey the same area-velocity relation. - Work through fully solved examples with units tracked at every stage. - Test yourself with end-of-chapter practice problems, each supported by complete answers. - Move confidently between SI and US customary units, both given where practice expects them. - Use appendices of constants, atmosphere tables, airfoil data, and material properties as a standing reference.Coverage spans the standard atmosphere and flight regimes; fluid mechanics and subsonic, finite-wing, and compressible aerodynamics; aircraft performance, stability, and control; air-breathing and rocket propulsion; aerospace structures and structural design; aircraft sizing; two-body orbital mechanics; orbital maneuvers and mission design; spacecraft systems; and re-entry and hypersonic flight.It is written for upper-division undergraduates in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering students taking aerospace options, and early-career engineers who want a single quantitative reference from atmospheric flight through orbital operations. A background in calculus through ordinary differential equations, physics, statics, and introductory thermodynamics is assumed.Bring the whole discipline together in one volume. Add this comprehensive guide to your shelf and start building a connected understanding of flight, from the runway to orbit.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Master the science, design, and real-world engineering behind one of the most important machines in modern aerospace and power generation.It is a comprehensive engineering reference designed to connect thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, combustion, heat transfer, materials, mechanical design, controls, and maintenance into one coherent understanding of the modern gas turbine. The book is written for upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and practicing engineers who want to understand the gas turbine as an integrated machine rather than as a collection of unrelated components.Gas turbines operate on a deceptively simple principle: compress air, add heat through continuous combustion, expand the hot gas through a turbine, and convert the resulting energy into shaft power or propulsion. But achieving high efficiency, reliability, power density, and durability requires careful coordination of aerodynamics, high-temperature materials, cooling technology, combustion systems, mechanical design, and control. This book develops those relationships from first principles and shows how each engineering decision affects the performance of the complete machine.Inside This Book, You Will Learn How To: Understand the working principles, classifications, applications, and major subsystems of modern gas turbines.Analyze the ideal Brayton cycle, real-cycle losses, pressure ratios, specific work, thermal efficiency, and back-work ratio.Evaluate component efficiencies, pressure losses, variable gas properties, turbine cooling bleed, and real engine performance.Explore regeneration, intercooling, reheat, combined-cycle power generation, and cogeneration.Understand the aerodynamics of axial-flow and centrifugal compressors, including velocity triangles, Euler work, stage loading, surge, choke, compressor maps, and variable geometry.Study combustion fundamentals, fuel-air relationships, flame stabilization, fuel injection, combustor architecture, liner cooling, ignition, and low-emission combustion.Analyze axial turbine aerodynamics, blade loading, reaction, stage efficiency, compressibility, choking, and turbine-compressor matching.Understand turbine heat transfer, internal blade cooling, film cooling, thermal-barrier coatings, creep, fatigue, oxidation, and blade-life limitations.Explore nickel-based superalloys, single-crystal materials, coatings, investment casting, cooling-hole manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and advanced ceramic materials.Apply gas-turbine principles to turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, aircraft thrust, bypass ratio, propulsive efficiency, and specific fuel consumption.Evaluate design-point and off-design operation, component matching, running lines, surge margin, transient behavior, and ambient-condition effects.Develop practical knowledge of gas-turbine operation, control, diagnostics, maintenance, reliability, availability, and life management.The manuscript deliberately follows the working fluid through the machine-from thermodynamic cycle analysis to compressors, combustion, turbines, cooling and materials, aircraft propulsion, off-design behavior, emissions, mechanical design, and finally operation and maintenance-so that readers see how every subsystem interacts with the others.Who This Book Is ForGas Turbine Engineering is especially valuable for: Mechanical and aerospace engineering studentsGraduate students studying propulsion, thermodynamics, or turbomachineryPower-generation engineersGas-turbine and rotating-equipment engineersAircraft propulsion professionalsPlant operators and maintenance enginee Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Most books on electric motors teach either the mathematics of machine behavior or the wiring of a control panel - rarely both at the depth a modern plant demands.If you can program a controller but cannot derive the torque-speed curve of the motor it commands, or you know induction-machine theory but have never sized an overload or coordinated protection, you are working with half the picture. That gap becomes guesswork on the plant floor: oversized equipment, nuisance trips, and designs that pass on paper but struggle in service.This handbook closes the gap. It develops the electrical and machine-theory foundations from first principles, then carries them straight into the equipment, circuits, calculations, and troubleshooting used to build and maintain real industrial motor control systems.Inside, you will: - Follow every result from fundamentals - three-phase power, induction and DC machines, and drive operation - derived step by step.- Calculate what drives real decisions: power factor and correction, slip, torque, motor current, and voltage drop.- Design and read control logic - two-wire, three-wire, ladder diagrams, and programmable control.- Select, size, and commission variable-frequency drives and reduced-voltage starters, matching the method to the load.- Size overloads and coordinate protection so faults clear where they should.- Lay out motor control centers and panels that are safe and serviceable, and apply energy-efficient practices.- Reinforce every chapter with worked examples, practice problems and answers, and key-equation summaries.Key topics include three-phase power; AC induction and DC machines; manual, magnetic, reduced-voltage, and variable-frequency starting and speed control; motor protection and coordination; control circuit and ladder-logic design; programmable logic controllers; sensors and feedback; motor control center and panel design; energy efficiency; and servo and stepper systems.It is written for upper-level electrical and mechatronics students, for practicing plant, electrical, and controls engineers who need one rigorous theory-plus-application reference, and for advanced technicians who want the engineering behind the equipment they maintain.Take the next step toward mastering motor control from the machine to the panel - add this comprehensive handbook to your library and build the complete, connected understanding that modern automation work demands. …
