Dans notre Notice sur la Locomotive et les Chemins de fer des Merveilles de la science[1], nous avons donné l’histoire complète de l’invention et des progrès des chemins de fer, depuis leur origine, en 1829, avec Marc Seguin et Stephenson, jusqu’à l’année 1870,...

Aucune découverte n’a excité, autant que celle des aérostats, la surprise, l’admiration, l’émotion universelles. Il n’y eut en Europe, qu’un cri d’enthousiasme pour les navigateurs intrépides qui, les premiers, osèrent s’élancer dans le vaste champ des airs. En effet, jamais l’orgueil...

Il faut reconnaître que la génération présente est singulièrement favorisée, en ce qui concerne les petits moteurs, surtout si l’on compare les ressources dont elle dispose aujourd’hui, avec celles d’autrefois. Je me rappelle les insignifiants moteurs dont on se servait, au temps de ma...

Dans le tome II des Merveilles de la science[1], en terminant la description du Moteur électrique, nous disions que cet appareil, dans lequel on ne fait usage, comme force motrice, que de l’attraction des aimants, était sans avenir, et nous détournions les inventeurs de poursuivre...

This monograph describes cement clinker formation. It covers multicomponent systems, clinker phase structures and their reactions with water, hydrate composition and structure, as well as their physical properties. The mineral additions to cement are described as are their influence on cement-paste...

Solvents are used in nearly all industries, from cosmetics to semiconductors, and from biotechnology research to iron and steel production. This book is a comprehensive and extensive textual analysis of the principles of solvent selection and use. It is a balanced presentation of solvent performance,...

The biomaterials sector is rapidly expanding and significant advances have been made in the technology of biomedical coatings and materials, which provide a means to improve the wear of joints, change the biological interaction between implant and host and combine the properties of various materials...

Book Description How to drill an oil and gas well from A to Z, or in a shorter form from 1 to 7. The first step, is to determine what type of rock we will be drilling. The second step is to refine this preliminary well configuration by determining the exact dimensions required of casing strings. Afterwards,...

Researches Birmingham's industries - primarily the manufacture of components, paints and varnish, plastics, toys, aircraft components, and the food industry. This book interweaves company history and product development with descriptions of technical processes, as well as including site visits. It is also illustrated with a wide range of pictures.

This practical book provides instruction on how to conduct several "hands-on" experiments for laboratory demonstration in the teaching of heat transfer and fluid dynamics. It is an ideal resource for chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and engineering technology professors and...

As device sizes in the semiconductor industries are shrinking, they become more vulnerable to smaller contaminant particles, and most conventional cleaning techniques employed in the industry are not as effective at smaller scales. The book series Developments in Surface Contamination and Cleaning...

Accident records show that sooner or later hindrances near a waterway will be hit by ships, be it navigation marks, bridge structures, reefs or shallows. With this background modelling and analysis of ship collisions to bridge structures have an increasing importance as the basis for rational decision...

Water Gas Shift Reaction: Research Developments and Applications outlines the importance of hydrogen as a future fuel, along with the various hydrogen production methods. The book explains the development of catalysts for Water Gas Shift (WGS) reaction at different temperatures and steam/CO ratios,...

Elaborating on recent and future developments in the field of membrane engineering, Volume 2 is devoted to the main advances in gaseous phase membrane reactors and separators. The book covers innovative membranes and new processes, and includes new chapters on cost analysis and life cycle assessment....
