Taschenbuch. Condición: 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.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 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 youDerivations that show their origins, so every working figure carries the conditions that limit it and you can see when the customary answer stops being rightSizing 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 habitUnit 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 onesComponent behaviour described both as designed and as degraded, so a worn pump can be distinguished from a starved oneA diagnostic method reasoning backwards from symptom to cause, with troubleshooting matrices naming the measurement that confirms or eliminates each candidateElectrohydraulic motion control as a full subject, with the dynamic analysis closed-loop systems requireEnergy accounting that locates where input power actually goes, and the architectures that avoid turning it into heatCoverageGoverning principles and performance metrics; flow regimes, pressure losses, and orifice behaviour; fluid properties, viscosity grades, and bulk modulus; pump construction, efficiency, and controls; cylinders, motors, and actuator sizing; directional, pressure, and flow control valves; conductors, fittings, and seals; accumulators, reservoirs, and thermal management; contamination control and filtration; circuit design and analysis; proportional and servo valves; electrohydraulic motion control; compressed air generation, treatment, and distribution; pneumatic actuators and circuits; energy efficiency and noise; and safety, reliability, maintenance, and troubleshooting. 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 forMechanical, mechatronic, and maintenance engineers responsible for hydraulic or pneumatic equipment; machine designers and system integrators; maintenance technicians diagnosing faults under time pressure; plant and reliability engineers accountable for uptime; controls engineers moving into fluid power; technical instructors; and students who need the applied methods that follow an introductory course.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The transmission and distribution network carries every kilowatt-hour to the point where it is actually used, and it is the part of the power system that formal training covers least completely. Engineers in this field are served by two kinds of book, and neither is sufficient alone. The academic text derives line equations and load flow with rigour but says almost nothing about conductor selection, sag and tension, ground grid design, cable current rating, or relay coordination. The utility manual supplies procedure in abundance but presents its results as rules to be followed rather than as consequences to be understood. An engineer holding only the first cannot design a feeder. An engineer holding only the second cannot recognise the moment when the rule stops applying, which is exactly the moment when judgement is required. This handbook closes that gap across sixteen chapters, developed in one consistent notation and carried through to the level of a working calculation. Derivations are shown in full, assumptions are stated where they are used, and units are tracked throughout. Concepts are developed once, in the chapter that owns them, so each chapter can be consulted on its own. What you will be able to do: Build the analytical vocabulary the field depends on, including three-phase representation, per-unit modelling, symmetrical components, and sequence networks, developed from first principles.Carry an overhead conductor from thermal rating through ice and wind loading, catenary behaviour, change of state, ruling span, creep, clearance, insulator swing, and right-of-way width.Rate underground circuits properly, treating the thermal circuit, soil resistivity and dry-out, mutual heating, cyclic and emergency ratings, charging current, and sheath bonding.Design a ground grid to a defensible standard, from soil resistivity and tolerable body current through grid resistance, ground potential rise, mesh and step voltages, and transferred potential.Plan a feeder and hold its voltage: load forecasting, load reach, voltage drop, losses, economic conductor selection, capacitors, regulators, and power quality.Calculate faults and coordinate protection across all four fault types, system grounding, time-current characteristics, distance and pilot schemes, and differential protection.Evaluate reliability and change, using standard indices, predictive feeder analysis, asset management, hosting capacity, interconnection, and energy storage.Coverage runs from grid structure and load characterisation through line parameters, overhead and underground construction, insulation coordination, transformers, substations, grounding, distribution planning, voltage regulation, fault analysis, protective relaying, load flow and stability, and reliability and distributed energy resource integration. Worked examples show every material step, graded practice problems close each chapter, and the appendices collect conductor and cable data, standard ratings and insulation levels, unit conversions, and the device number reference used on protection drawings. It is written for practising transmission and distribution engineers, utility planning and protection staff, consulting engineers, technologists entering power system work, and senior undergraduate and graduate students. It assumes introductory circuit analysis and comfort with phasors, but no prior exposure to power systems. The treatment is oriented to Canadian practice, where ice loading is a design case and requirements vary between provinces, while the analytical content remains fully transferable elsewhere. Open this handbook and start building the kind of understanding that lets you not only perform the calculation, but defend the result.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Complex systems rarely fail because a calculation was wrong. They fail because two teams held incompatible assumptions about an interface and neither wrote them down. They fail because a requirement was satisfied exactly as written, and the written version was not what anyone needed. They fail because a decision made in the first eight weeks, on very little information, quietly determined an outcome that surfaced three years later. These are failures of relationships, and no single engineering discipline owns them. Most engineers arrive at systems responsibility sideways. They were excellent subsystem engineers, they were handed ownership of the whole, and they found that the skills which earned them the promotion do not automatically extend upward. The available guidance often makes this harder: methods are presented as procedures without the conditions under which they break, and worked examples skip the arithmetic that would have taught something. This handbook was written to close that gap. Seventeen chapters across seven parts, with worked examples that show every step, practice problems with answer keys, three appendices, a glossary and a list of symbols.Methods are presented with their documented failure modes - why a trade study built on multiplied ordinal scores can reverse its ranking when a scale is relabelled, and why a risk matrix built the same way can rate a low-probability catastrophe below a routine annoyance.Worked examples carry their units through every calculation, state assumptions before using them, and show intermediate quantities instead of jumping to a result.Allocate reliability across subsystems, build fault trees and minimal cut sets, and see where redundancy stops helping because of common-cause failure.Construct a verification cross-reference matrix, select verification methods deliberately, size test margin against measurement uncertainty, and judge what must be re-verified after a change.Write requirements that are verifiable, separate derived from allocated, and review a set for ambiguity and completeness.The vocabulary is locked and used consistently, because verification and validation are not interchangeable, a need is not a requirement, and architecture is not design - and each collapse corresponds to a real failure mode.Proportionality is addressed directly: how much process a programme actually warrants, with the honest acknowledgement that this judgement is made badly in both directions.Coverage follows the shape of the work: emergence, boundaries and system context; lifecycle models, stage gates and technical reviews; stakeholder elicitation, operational concepts and measures of effectiveness; requirement quality, traceability, budgets and margin; functional decomposition, states and modes; architecture views, modularity and design structure matrices; interface specification and the two-party ownership problem; model-based practice; trade studies, value functions and sensitivity; model fidelity and uncertainty propagation; the human element; reliability, availability, maintainability and safety; risk, opportunity and management reserve; integration, verification and validation; configuration and data management; technical planning and leading indicators; and transition, support, obsolescence and retirement. It is written for the practicing engineer who has become responsible for a system rather than a component, for graduate students meeting these methods formally in a one- or two-semester sequence, and for the experienced practitioner who needs one specific method on one specific afternoon. It assumes an engineering background - algebra, basic probability, elementary calculus - and no prior systems engineering training.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A hydraulic system on a mobile machine is asked to do something no laboratory circuit is ever asked to do. It must start at minus twenty degrees and run at ninety. It must deliver full pressure to a boom while the same pump steers the machine and drives a cooling fan. It must survive vibration, impact, abrasive dust, and an operator who has learned that a function moves faster if the lever is slammed. And it must do all of it for ten thousand hours. Most hydraulics books were not written for that machine. They were written around the stationary industrial circuit, and the physics they teach is identical. What they do not teach is the set of compromises mobile duty forces on the designer and the technician: why a load-sensing margin is set where it is, why a counterbalance valve makes a boom stable in one circuit and unstable in another, why a machine that passed every bench test overheats in August, and why one fault produces different symptoms on an open-centre machine than on a flow-sharing one. Engineers rework circuits that were right in theory and wrong in duty. Technicians replace components in order of cost until the symptom goes away. This handbook was written to close that gap. It develops the fundamentals in enough depth that the later material is derivable rather than memorised, then works outward through components, circuits, whole-machine architectures, thermal behaviour, diagnostics and safety.Trace the efficiency chain from crankshaft to actuator rod, and find where a duty cycle's energy goesCompare open-centre, closed-centre, load-sensing and flow-sharing architectures, and see why a saturated machine behaves differently under pre-compensation than under post-compensationAssign a target cleanliness from the most sensitive component in the circuit, and balance ingression against removalSet a counterbalance valve for stable control of an overrunning load, and predict the back pressure and heat it producesBuild a duty-cycle heat balance, size a cooler and fan drive from it, and judge whether energy recovery repays its costReason from symptom to cause using pressure, flow, case-drain and temperature measurements, rather than replacing parts in order of expenseCompile a stored-energy inventory and specify a de-energisation sequence covering every sourceCoverage runs from fluid properties and viscosity selection, conductors and routing, reservoirs, filtration and contamination control, through pumps, motors and cylinders, pressure and directional control, accumulators, flow control and load-holding, to pump control architectures, hydrostatic propel circuits, electrohydraulic control, thermal management and failure analysis. Four case studies take a tracked excavator, a wheel loader, a telehandler and an agricultural implement from duty cycle through to a drafted circuit and a documentation package. Every chapter opens with learning objectives stating what you should be able to do on finishing it. Derivations are shown in full, worked examples carry their units through every substitution, and graded practice problems close each chapter with answers supplied. Seven appendices, a list of symbols, a glossary and an index put the reference material within reach, including cleanliness targets by component class and a symptom-to-cause troubleshooting quick reference. It is written for the design engineer sizing a system, the field service engineer and technician diagnosing one, and the advanced student who needs the derivations that hold the rest together. Where a design decision is contested in practice, the book gives the trade-off rather than pretending a single answer exists. Begin reasoning from duty cycle to a defensible circuit, and from symptom to cause, with a working reference built around Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: 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. Condición: 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.
