This volume is a comprehensive presentation of analytical theory and real-world practical solutions. It clearly illustrates updated approaches that plant managers and performance engineers can use in judging condenser performance and in making maintenance decisions. The author examines current methods for modeling, diagnosing and improving condenser performance. He describes how to calculate heat transfer coefficients, provides details of the recent ASME Power Test Code PTC 12.2-1998, and explains the significance of heat transfer coefficients in measuring the overall performance of an operating condenser. Further discussion includes condenser cleaning schedules that save money and reduce CO2 emissions, diagnostic methods that help unit operators pinpoint problem areas, monitoring techniques that help predict the onset of tube fouling and deposit accumulation, and proper methods of tube plugging. New topic areas are also explored: assigning a dollar amount and excess carbon emissions to condenser fouling; methods for estimating cooling water flow rate;and performance analysis for multicompartment condensers.

This fully updated and revised Second Edition of Pipeline Operation and Maintenance: A Practical Approach, provides comprehensive details on all matters related to operation and maintenance of gas and liquid pipeline systems.

An important resource for all engineers and their managers concerned with product development, patent law and the patent process, but particularly early career engineers who need a basic introduction to the topic.

Provides the basic essentials and fundamentals of electronic packaging technology. It introduces the language and terminology, as well as the basic building blocks of information processing technology.

Proceedings of the international conference on hydrogen effects in materials, which was held September 9-12, 2012 at Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Lake Lodge, Moran, Wyoming, USA. Previous conferences in this series were held in 1973, 1975, 1980, 1989, 1994, 2002, and 2008. These conferences have been the premier topical meetings on hydrogen effects in materials.

Covers the aspects of power plant design, operation, and maintenance. This title discusses cycle optimization and reliability, technical details on sizing, plant layout, fuel selection, types of drives, and performance characteristics of the major components in a cogeneration or combined cycle power plant.

Offers techniques for pipeline design and construction. This book presents the various elements that make up a single-phase liquid and gas pipeline system, including how to design, construct, commission, and assess pipelines and related facilities. It also discusses gas and liquid transmission, compression, pumps, and protection and integrity.

A guide to wind turbine engineering. It offers descriptions of various wind turbine configurations. It is suitable for energy planner, engineer, designer, utility project manager, wind power station developer, manufacturer and wind turbine equipment.

A collection of myths, mistakes, and "lessons learned" from practicing engineers involved in the field of electronic equipment cooling. Through anecdotes and stories based on his experiences at Tellabs Operations, Inc., Tony Kordyban covers the basic dimensions of heat transfer concepts - mostly from real problems that were incorrectly solved at least once before a correct technique was applied.

Describes a working design and analysis system with all of the interacting procedures, design guidelines, and decision processes required.

Presents principles, rules, guidelines, and tips that are useful in designing mechanical parts and assemblies. The book includes examples of real world, practical ideas that come from successful design experience and which result in superior mechanical design.
