This new, second edition of the 1944 classic serves as a crucial compilation of "house rules," or a professional code. It addresses three areas: what the beginner needs to learn at once; "laws" relating chiefly to engineering executives; and purely personal considerations for engineers. Packed with contemporary examples, this new volume is a must for those entering the engineering field or those interested in improving their professional effectiveness....

Geared toward undergraduate and graduate students, this text extends applications of the finite element method from linear problems in elastic structures to a broad class of practical, nonlinear problems in continuum mechanics. It treats both theory and applications from a general and unifying point of view. The text reviews the thermomechanical principles of continuous media and the properties of the finite element method, and then brings them together...

Every operator who is responsible for monitoring critical rotating equipment will greatly benefit from this handy reference book. The goal of this book is to present proven techniques that will enable rookie and veteran operators alike to detect problems early and, we hope, eliminate major outages and/or maintenance costs. To achieve this goal we shall explain the basics of lubrication systems, bearings, drivers, seals and sealing systems, for centrifugal...

El municipio de Ráquira está ubicado al occidente del departamento de Boyacá, en un valle fértil rodeado de áridas y polvorientas montañas, muy cerca del desierto de La Candelaria. Limita por el norte con Tinjacá y Sutamarchán, por el sur con Guachetá en Cundinamarca, por el oriente con Sáchica y Samacá, y por el occidente con San Miguel de ema y la Laguna de Fúquene. La extensión total de Ráquira es de 204 km2; está entre los 2200...

Practical applications and examples highlight this treatment of computational modeling for handling complex flowfields. A reference for researchers and graduate students of many different backgrounds, it also functions as a text for learning essential computation elements. Drawing upon his own research, the author addresses both macroscopic and microscopic features. He begins his three-part treatment with a survey of the basic concepts of finite difference...

Schedule for Sale is a guidebook on how to apply WorkFace Planning, an industry best practice first identified by The Construction Owners Association of Alberta in 2005. The process organizes the elements necessary for productive construction, which then leads to improved quality and reduced schedule & costs from the absence of chaos. The reduction of energy consumption from the shortened schedule is also the foundation for Green Construction.

Copper Flashings And Weathering's is a handbook containing practical details of the manner in which copper sheet and strip are used for flashings and weathering's. This volume will be of utility to those occupied in metalwork, and it would make for a handy addition to collections of related literature.

Before we step off the Earth to Mars, we need to test every kind of technical machinery in use at the time of this operation. The Moon provides a great establishing base, similar to what may be found on Mars. We, the Earthians, will go to the Moon, to establish the technical data needed for Mars and other off-earth explorations.

Diseño conceptual de procesos químicos. Metodología con aplicaciones en esterificación corresponde a las notas de clase de la asignatura Diseño de Procesos Químicos y Bioquímicos del programa de Ingeniería Química de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, sede Bogotá. El libro aborda la etapa inicial del diseño de procesos de transformación química, previa al desarrollo del proceso, reconociendo el producto como la fuerza impulsora fundamental...

A practical treatise on work in the shop, showing the best method of riveting, bracing and staying, punching, drilling, smithing and the most economical manner of obtaining the best quality of output at the least expense. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using...
