Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every rocket carries everything it needs to push itself - and that single fact makes propulsion the toughest constraint on almost any space mission.Rocket propulsion sits where thermodynamics, chemistry, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and flight mechanics meet. Master one thread but stay vague on the rest, and you can plug numbers into equations without ever seeing why a design turns out the way it does. Too many resources deepen the problem, quoting finished results or treating a single subsystem in isolation.>Inside, you will: - Follow first-principles derivations instead of memorising detached formulas- Work examples that carry their units all the way to the answer- Estimate performance with characteristic velocity, thrust coefficient, and specific impulse- Build velocity-increment budgets and weigh staging and mission trade-offs- Compare engine power cycles, cooling methods, turbopumps, and feed systems with confidence- Reinforce every chapter with summaries, practice problems, and worked answer keys- Reach for appendices of constants, propellant properties, key equations, and orbital dataTopics include the reaction principle and the rocket equation; gas dynamics and nozzle design; performance parameters and efficiencies; flight mechanics, staging, and mission budgets; propellant chemistry and combustion; liquid-engine architecture and cycles; thrust chambers, injectors, and cooling; turbopumps; solid motors; hybrid and electric propulsion; heat transfer, materials, and structures; and combustion instability, testing, and system integration. It is written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate engineering students meeting propulsion in depth, and for practicing engineers and researchers who want a reference that derives its results rather than merely stating them. A working knowledge of calculus, differential equations, and introductory thermodynamics and mechanics is assumed; each chapter supplies the rest. Open this handbook and build a clear, connected command of how rockets really work - and keep a derivation-based guide to every major engine type within reach. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A stopped machine is costly, and guessing at the cause only makes it costlier. When a conveyor stalls mid-shift or a press waits for a signal that never arrives, the controller already knows something the people beside the machine do not. Without a clear order of checks, a simple wiring fault can hide behind a suspected program error, and a timing or data problem can look exactly like failed hardware. Introductory programming books rarely explain how control systems fail, and equipment manuals describe only a single product.>What this book helps you do- Follow a structured method of symptom gathering, input-logic-output division, half-splitting, and hypothesis testing to move from a vague complaint to a confirmed cause.- Understand how the scan cycle shapes symptoms, and where ladder rungs stop behaving like hard-wired relay circuits.- Diagnose discrete input and output faults, including sensor leakage, wrong input types, blown outputs, inrush, and inductive load suppression.- Check analog loop power, scaling, and noise, and tell out-of-range, open-circuit, and frozen values apart.- Trace timer, counter, sequencing, one-shot, and data-handling errors that masquerade as hardware failures.- Work more safely with guidance on lockout/tagout, arc-flash boundaries, meter categories, and disciplined forcing.Inside the handbook>Who this book is for>Open this handbook, learn its method, and meet your next stopped machine knowing exactly where to begin.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The machine is down, the clock is running, and the only complete record of how it should work is a drawing set you have never opened. Most maintenance technicians and industrial electricians understand voltage, current, contacts, coils, and motors. What few were ever taught systematically is that industrial drawings are a written language with a grammar of their own. A schematic does not show where anything is. A wiring diagram does not show what anything does. Contacts are drawn in a state the machine may never be in, and a number in the margin points to another sheet. Without that grammar, troubleshooting becomes swapping parts and cycling power, which is slow, costly, and often leaves the real cause in place.>Inside, you will learn how to: - Work backward from a reported symptom to a specific rung and a short list of test points before a meter is raised.- Find every source feeding a panel from the print, including hidden supplies, back-feed, and stored energy.- Read symbols and device designations in both North American and international conventions.- Follow circuits across multi-sheet sets using cross-references and wire numbers.- Read motor starting, reversing, reduced-voltage, timing, and sequence circuits where misdiagnosis is common.- Trace I/O wiring, programmable controller documentation, analog loops, and drive circuits where electrical faults can look like logic problems.- Keep drawings trustworthy with practical as-built and panel documentation habits.Sixteen chapters also cover print-based electrical safety, machine safety circuits, and plant power distribution with one-line diagrams. Each chapter includes learning objectives, worked examples with every step shown, practice problems, and an answer key that explains the reasoning. Appendices provide a consolidated symbol reference, a device designation and wire numbering quick reference, and a troubleshooting decision reference.>Stop guessing at the panel.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Design building systems as one coordinated whole.>Beginning with integrated design and human comfort, the book develops the physical principles behind heat transfer, psychrometrics, load calculations, fluid flow, alternating-current power, and illumination. It then applies those foundations to HVAC systems and central plants, ducts and hydronic piping, plumbing and drainage, fire protection, electrical distribution and grounding, emergency power, lighting and daylighting, building automation, energy-code compliance, and commissioning. Inside you will find: - Clear explanations that connect theory to design decisions- Step-by-step worked examples with units and assumptions shown- Practice problems that progress from direct calculations to integrated design tasks- US customary units with SI equivalents where useful>Use this handbook to understand why building-service calculations work, coordinate disciplines more effectively, and approach real projects with a stronger technical foundation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A hydraulic press slows in mid-cycle. The pump is replaced, then the relief valve, then the seals - and the press still crawls, because the component that was changed was never the one that failed. The introductory course does not prepare an engineer for this. A single semester derives Pascal's principle, sizes a cylinder, draws a relief valve, and moves on. The engineer then made responsible for real equipment finds the drawing carries twenty symbols that were never taught, and a valve data sheet quoting flow at a pressure drop that does not match the application. Knowing what a relief valve does is a different thing from being able to size one. This handbook was written for that gap. It assumes a reader competent in engineering fundamentals who is now accountable for equipment that has to work, and treats fluid power as a connected body of method running from the physics of the fluid to the behaviour of a real machine. Hydraulics and pneumatics are covered together, because the practitioner meets them together and compressibility is clearest by direct comparison. What this handbook gives you- Derivations that show their origins, so every working figure carries the conditions that limit it and you can see when the customary answer stops being right- Sizing methods you can apply directly - conductors on velocity and loss, pumps and prime movers from a duty cycle, actuators, directional valves, filtration, accumulators, and cooling from thermal load rather than habit- Unit discipline carried through every step, in SI with United States customary values alongside, addressing the conversion and gauge-versus-absolute errors that reach commissioning more often than conceptual ones- Component behaviour described both as designed and as degraded, so a worn pump can be distinguished from a starved one- A diagnostic method reasoning backwards from symptom to cause, with troubleshooting matrices naming the measurement that confirms or eliminates each candidate- Electrohydraulic motion control as a full subject, with the dynamic analysis closed-loop systems require- Energy accounting that locates where input power actually goes, and the architectures that avoid turning it into heatCoverage>Sixteen chapters and five appendices. One hundred and twenty-nine worked examples with every step and unit shown. One hundred and sixty practice problems with worked answers. Fifty original figures, circuit diagrams following the internationally standardised symbol conventions, conversion tables, fluid property data, sizing formulas, and troubleshooting matrices. Who it is for>Open the handbook and begin working from measurement rather than replacement - through the principles, the components, the circuits, and the method that connects them.…
