This two-volume set represents a collection of papers presented at the 18th International Conference on Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems – Water Reactors. The purpose of this conference series is to foster an exchange of ideas about problems and their remedies in water-cooled...

A preface comments on my seeing a Ken Burns documentary on the Dust Bowl. Electric shocks and electric grid and communications problems were an effect. I thought of an electrostatic generating machine. Chapter 1 covers dust going through channel slits embedded in container walls, their dielectric...

For more than three decades, David Orr has been one of the leading voices of the environmental movement, championing the cause of ecological literacy in higher education, helping to establish and shape the field of ecological design, and working tirelessly to raise awareness of the threats to future...

Thank you for your interest in this booklet.  The "...The Basics" series, is a series of booklets designed to help you get the basics or foundations about a subject.  Time is one of our most precious resources and as such it does not comeback, for that reason the Amber siblings have created...

Referring to this illustration of space/time distortion below, let's assume the red ball 'A' can generate a strong gravitational field and lens that gravitational field or wave in this case.  Lensing a strong wave is sufficient to shoot a vector in any direction and therefore distort space-time in...

This book focuses on the dissemination of information of permanent interest in thermo-mechanics applications and engineering technology. Contributions have clear relevance to industrial device and a relatively straightforward or feasible path to application. Chapters are sought that have long-term...

« Nous sommes pris à notre piège, nous avons collaboré à un système que nous savions porteur d'une mort atroce. » L'auteur écrit à une amie japonaise qui vit à Tokyo. Lettre sensible, pleine d'émotion. La catastrophe vient de se produire à Fukushima. Il n'a pas de nouvelles. Ce...

Contrary to declarations from well known scientists who claim that Science does not provide any evidence supporting the existence of God, this book proves beyond any reasonable doubt exactly the opposite. Scientific evidence does indeed support the existence of God. Nevertheless, the difference in...

After addressing the basic knowledge of bioenergy and its development in the United States, the European Union, and Brazil, this book places emphasis on the introduction of China’s bioresources, its development since 2001, and the difficulties it encountered. In the concluding chapter, Shi presents...

Essentials of Water Systems Design in the Oil, Gas and Chemical Processing Industries provides valuable insight for decision makers by outlining key technical considerations and requirements of four critical systems in industrial processing plants—water treatment systems, raw water and plant water...

Understanding transient phenomena in electric power systems and the harmful impact of resulting disturbances is an important aspect of power system operation and resilience. Bridging the gap from theory to practice, this guide introduces the fundamentals of transient phenomena affecting electric power...

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the computerized core monitoring techniques currently employed at pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) nuclear power plants. It also offers a brief overview of the corresponding techniques at research and materials testing reactors. The...

In 1907, Albert Einstein started his ideas about the general theory of relativity. And it took eight more years after this to conceptualize, to mold, and to chisel (so to speak) so the theory could take proper form and come into being. The reason it took eight years to formulate and to produce his...

Based on the simulations developed in research groups over the past years, Introduction to Quasi-dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines provides a compilation of the main ingredients necessary to build up a quasi-dimensional computer simulation scheme. Quasi-dimensional computer simulation...
