Tubular combustors are cylindrical tubes where flame ignition and propagation occur in a spatially confined, highly controlled environment, in a nearly flat, elongated geometry. This title provides the research on tubular combustion - some of it only now coming out of private proprietary protection.

The BACnet protocols are made use of in central control systems manufactured by companies like Honeywell, Siemens, and Johnson Controls, among many others. BACnet is widely used throughout the world today for commercial and institutional buildings with complex mechanical and electrical systems. This title deals with this topic.

Provides an overview of our energy sources, their uses and limitations and political and economic constraints. This book offers a rational paradigm for how we can go about selecting the optimal mix of fossil, renewable and sustainable energy sources and how we can then aggressively move toward those more sustainable sources.

Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells hold great promise as a potential alternative to conventional fossil-fuel-powered energy sources. This title offers the research on advanced methods for managing both waste heat and monitoring water flows and water concentration in PEM fuel cells.

Explains commonly used words found in engineering documents and drawings, and explains them in plain, unambiguous English. This title also explains how some terms take on different meanings in different engineering contexts - when working on collaborative projects across different engineering disciplines.

Useful for Control engineers, mechanical engineers and mechanical technicians who will learn how to select the proper control systems for axial and centrifugal compressors for proper throughput and surge control, with a particular emphasis on surge control. This book helps readers to learn to understand the importance of transmitter speed.

Presents detailed information related to materials, technologies, construction and application of various devices for chemical sensing. This title covers phenomenological and molecular modelling of processes which control sensing characteristics and parameters of various solid state chemical sensors.
