Presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the problems of super/hypersonic flows around the models of real space vehicle configurations such as "Buran"-orbiter, winged cone (airplane-like body), Clipper space vehicle, and the Martian planetary probe. Theoretical analysis is based on solution 2/3D Navier- Stokes equations and their simplified asymptotic models.

Improvements in the energy efficiency of buildings has significant impacts on overall energy consumption and the battle against global warming. This volume covers some recent advances and opportunities related to the energy efficiency of buildings.

Shows the possibility of significant expansion of the number of problems allowing the construction of full analytical representations for sound fields in the areas of complex shape. Attention is also paid to the analysis of the physical features of sound fields and their relation to the geometrical and physical aspects of acoustic radiators.

Examines thermal transport processes in the manufacturing of advanced materials. Topics covered include the formation of semiconductor nanomaterials, flame synthesis of nanomaterials deposited on different substrates, thermal spray coatings, heat and mass transfer processes in optical fibre drawing, and many more.

Examines the work of some of the past recipients of Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Awards. Topics covered include phonon transport in two-dimensional and organic-inorganic hybrid materials, synchrotron-based characterization of materials, evaporation in nanostructures, adsorption systems for automobile climate control and many more.

Presents the results of theoretical and experimental investigations of heat and mass transfer enhancement on macro-, micro-, and nanoscale in single- and two-phase media, of phase interface vibrations, and of the separation of heterogeneous systems. This book is intended for specialists involved in the development of power plants.

The monograph summarizes the results of research of many years in the field of numerical simulation based on the continuum dynamics equations for transonic and supersonic flows of viscous perfect gas in the context of the problems of external aerodynamics, which have been obtained by the authors and their colleagues and published in different domestic journals.

Comprises research articles primarily resulting from a workshop of US-China Workshop on Analytics for Building-Scale Sustainable Ecosystems. Researchers present their views of bottlenecks in engineering, software and social sciences, forming a nexus of critical issues impeding wider application of net-zero-energy building technology in the context of defining building-scale sustainable ecosystems.

The theory of nonelasticity belongs to the class of single-surface theories of flow under the combined loading. Comparisons of calculations under various theories of plasticity, creep and nonelasticity have shown that the results received by the means of the developed theory of nonelasticity best correspond to the experimental data.

The thermal design of air-cooled heat exchangers is a fascinating activity - sometimes even more so than that of shell-and-tube heat exchangers - for the simple reason that there are more variables: even the coolant (air) flow rate is a variable. This book will inspire the reader to consider the thermal design of air-cooled heat exchangers as a joyous activity rather than a mundane chore.

High-efficiency gas purification by Petryanov filters is a universally acknowledged aerosol-removal technology. These filters are made of fibrous materials obtained by means of electrospinning. The substance and capabilities of this method, the use of the fibrous materials produced by it, the various and unique separating properties are examined in this volume.

Examines a range of hot cases for interface tracking methods. The cases range from single individual bubble behaviour to more complex cases such as cavitation. The cases will be of enormous help to all specialists using advanced computational methods to classify and validate multiphase flows.

This is a practical book containing 35 detailed case studies that serve to illustrate concepts, relate different topics and introduce applications. Thermal designers of shell-and-tube heat exchangers (STHE) will find the book indispensable for understanding the mechanics of thermal-hydraulics in STHEs and thereby for utilizing commercially available software packages to produce optimum designs.

Split into two sections, this book provides general information about the notion of a function and methods of plotting graphs of functions without the use of derivatives, then deals with methods of studying functions and plotting their graphs with the use of calculus. It contains 760 figures and uses material found in existing references, textbooks, articles, and other sources on the subject.

This title is intended as a textbook for teaching physical mechanical. The course sets out the basic concepts of technical thermodynamics, classical continuum mechanics, mechanics of a deformed solid, fluid dynamics, gas dynamics and stability of the theory and the turbulence necessary to study the fundamentals and the subsequent examination of the physical mechanics.

Peter Hills brings more than 25 years of experience in a variety of thermal applications. The book provides a practical insight into the design, operations, specification, and purchasing of heat transfer equipment. The engineer is led through logical understanding of all processes involved and taught to distinguish the practical applications from the computer codes.
