Process Simulation
Even though engineers have achieved a high degree of being able to intuitively determine how well a proposed line will function, there are times when a number of foreseen concerns can combine to have an unforeseen effect. Process simulation can help detect these issues in advance, when correcting them can still be done at a relatively inexpensive cost.
Process Simulation involves entering machine, part, operator, and process information into a graphical model to create a virtual process line. This line can then be run under varying scenarios, conditions, and lengths of time to project what the actual outcome of the line will be. If the line is one being proposed, then estimates must be used for the parameters, and the outputs examined closely to make sure the line is running as planned. If the line is currently in existence, but improvement must be made, then the model can be developed until it matches reality, and then virtual changes can be made and the effects analyzed.

Representations for Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms, 2nd edition
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 325
* Publication Date: 2006-03-03
* Sales Rank: 295063
* ISBN / ASIN: 354025059X
* EAN: 9783540250593
* Binding: Hardcover
* Manufacturer: Springer
* Studio: Springer
Book Description:
In the field of genetic and evolutionary algorithms (GEAs), a large amount of theory and empirical study has been focused on operators and test problems, while problem representation has often been taken as given. This book breaks with this tradition and provides a comprehensive overview on the influence of problem representations on GEA performance. The book summarizes existing knowledge regarding problem representations and describes how basic properties of representations, such as redundancy, scaling, or locality, influence the performance of GEAs and other heuristic optimization methods. Using the developed theory, representations can be analyzed and designed in a theory-guided matter. The theoretical concepts are used for solving integer optimization problems and network design problems more efficiently. The book is written in an easy-readable style and is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students who want to learn about representations. This second edition extends the analysis of the basic properties of representations and introduces a new chapter on the analysis of direct representations.

The Tomes of Delphi Algorithms and Data Structures Book - J.Bucknall
Delphi developer Julian Bucknall provides fellow developers a comprehensive overview of using algorithms and data structures from a practical perspective. Bucknall begins with a discussion of algorithm performance, and provides comprehensive coverage of such topics as arrays, linked lists, and binary trees. The book focuses on search algorithmsâۉ€�such as sequential and binary searchâۉ€�and sort algorithmsâۉ€�including bubble, insertion, Shell sort, quicksort, merge sort, and heapsortâۉ€�along with techniques for optimization. Additionally, the author presents hashing and hash tables, priority queues, state machines and regular expressions, and data compression techniques such as Huffman and LZ77. The companion CD contains the authorâۉ„¢s highly successful freeware library EZDSL, source code compatible with all versions of Delphi and with Kylix, and executables from TurboPower Software Company.

Theory Of Nuclear Forces
Meson Theory Of Nuclear Forces
Pages: 80
Since the publication of the last edition some of the older experiments particularly those on angular dis tribution in proton-neutron scattering have been ren dered obsolete by more recent work. In addition, some consequences of the strong coupling theory have been clarified. In this respect, improvements have been introduced into the text. On the other hand, the provisional state of the meson theory has become still more obvious as a result of the experimental discovery of at least two kinds of mesons by C. F. Powell and G. P. S. Occhialini, and by the absence of negative meson capture by the lighter nuclei by M. Conversi, E. Pancini, and O. Piccioni. In view of the failure of all present theories in explaining these new facts, the author saw no possibility of making an essential improvement in the substance of this book. But the recent success of C. M. G. Lattes and E. Gardner in producing mesons artificially will presum ably bring forth a great change of the whole situation in the near future. Zurich, Switzerland WOLFGANG PAULI June, 1948 Preface to the First Edition The purpose of this volume is to make accessible to a larger number of readers the lectures which I gave in the autumn of 1944 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Without pretending to contain any thing essentially new, they may serve to give to students and research workers a first orientation in the more recent literature on the theory of the interaction of mesons with protons and neutrons nucleons and the interactions between nucleons derived from it. Despite the imperfections of my lectures, the original notes written by Dr. J. F. Carlson and Dr. A. J. F. Siegert have been amended only slightly, to preserve the in formal character of the lectures and to emphasize the very provisional state of the problems in question, to which new experiments may in the future make im portant contributions

Nuclear Energy ebook, Principles, Practices, and Prospects
Nuclear Energy ebook, Principles, Practices, and Prospects
Pages: 693
The world faces serious difficulties in obtaining the energy that will be needed in coming decades for a growing population, especially given the problem of climate change caused by fossil fuel use. This book presents a view of nuclear energy as an important carbon-free energy option. It discusses the nuclear fuel cycle, the types of reactors used today and proposed for the future, nuclear waste disposal, reactor accidents and reactor safety, nuclear weapon proliferation, and the cost of electric power. To provide background for these discussions, the book begins with chapters on the history of the development and use of nuclear energy, the health effects of ionizing radiation, and the basic physics principles of reactor operation.
The text has been rewritten and substantially expanded for this edition, to reflect changes that have taken place in the eight years since the publication of the first edition and to provide greater coverage of key topics. These include the Yucca Mountain repository plans, designs for next-generation reactors, weapons proliferation and terrorism threats, the potential of alternatives to nuclear energy, and controversies about low-level radiation.
Acclaim for the first edition:
"…The book provides a superb background for scientists and those in technical fields. It provides probably all the information that many people, including government policy makers, will ever need...[a] well-written and balanced book. This book is recommended for anyone who wants a broad technical background on nuclear energy.

Inverse Problems in Vibration (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications)
Graham M.L. Gladwell ” Inverse Problems in Vibration (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications) “
springer | English | ISBN: 1402026706 | 457 pages | 2004 | PDF | 2.55 Mb
“This book is a necessary addition to the library of engineers and mathematicians working in vibration theory.”
In the first, 1986, edition of this book, inverse problems in vibration were interpreted strictly: problems concerning the reconstruction of a unique, undamped vibrating system, of a specified type, from specified vibratory behaviour, particularly specified natural frequencies and/or natural mode shapes. In this new edition the scope of the book has been widened to include topics such as isospectral systems- families of systems which all exhibit some specified behaviour; applications of the concept of Toda flow; new, non-classical approaches to inverse Sturm-Liouville problems; qualitative properties of the modes of some finite element models; damage identification. With its emphasis on analysis, on qualitative results, rather than on computation, the book will appeal to researchers in vibration theory, matrix analysis, differential and integral equations, matrix analysis, non-destructive testing, modal analysis, vibration isolation, etc.

In this new edition the scope of the book has been widened to include topics such as isospectral systems- families of systems which all exhibit some specified behaviour; applications of the concept of Toda flow; new, non-classical approaches to inverse Sturm-Liouville problems; qualitative properties of the modes of some finite element models; damage identification. With its emphasis on analysis, on qualitative results, rather than on computation, the book will appeal to researchers in vibration theory, matrix analysis, differential and integral equations, matrix analysis, non-destructive testing, modal analysis, vibration isolation, etc.

Book Description:
Turbomachines are those in which energy is transferred to or from a continuously moving fluid by the motion of a rotating element. Some of the most common and important machines used in engineering and industry fall into this category, including those which absorb power (and thereby increase fluid pressure), such as fans, compressors and pumps. Also included are equally vital varieties of machines which generate power from the expansion of fluids to lower pressures such as hydraulic, steam and gas turbines.
This general definition embraces a number of devices that are classified as ‘open’, such as propellers, windmills and unshrouded fans. The machines examined here are those defined as ‘closed’, where a finite quantity of fluid can be considered to pass through the machine in unit time, for it is these which are of the most interest to students and professionals in the fields of mechanical, chemical, and plant engineering. It is in these areas that the devices that form the subject matter of this book find their most important applications, making this treatment of vital importance to anyone working in or studying them.
