More Hot Air is the long-awaited sequel to the author's previous ASME Press book, Hot Air Rises and Heat Sinks: Everything You Know About Cooling Electronics Is Wrong. This new book continues in the same humorous and easy-to-read style of the earlier book, with all-new, original case studies in the field of electronics cooling. Each case study, told as an anecdote, is designed to teach a basic concept of heat transfer, as applied to keeping electronics from overheating. Because of the constantly shrinking size of electronics, the job of cooling electronics continues to get tougher. Many people not trained in the basics of heat transfer have been roped into doing this job out of necessity. For those who lack any formal training in heat transfer, the case studies explode many of the myths about cooling electronics and replace these flawed practices with sound engineering, based on actual heat transfer theory. The case studies and humor in this book are also entertaining to those well versed in electronics cooling. A must-read book for all engineers and their managers concerned with electronics packaging.

2017 International Conference on Control Engineering andMechanical Design [CEMD2017] has been held in Xiamen, Chinafrom October 20-22, 2017. Aiming at providing an excellentinternational academic forum for all the researchers andpractitioners, the conference enjoys a wide spread participationamong all over the universities and research institutes. Any paperand topic concentrates on related fields of Control Engineering,Automation, Mechatronics, Mechanical Design, Robotics arebroadly welcomed. Besides that we also look forward to makingthe conference perfect circumstances to share resources, exchangeopinions and inspire studying.CEMD2017 proceeding tends to collect the most up-to-date,comprehensive, and worldwide state-of-art knowledge onEducation and Development. All the accepted papers have beensubmitted to strict peer-review by 2-4 expert referees, and selectedbased on originality, significance and clarity for the purpose of theconference. The conference program is extremely rich, profoundand featuring high-impact presentations of selected papers andadditional late-breaking contributions. We sincerely hope that theconference would not only show the participants a broad overviewof the latest research results on related fields, but also provide themwith a significant platform for academic connection and exchange.The Technical Program Committee members have been working2017 International Conference on Control Engineering andMechanical Design [CEMD2017] has been held in Xiamen, Chinafrom October 20-22, 2017.

This book provides a thorough description of an aerodynamic design and analysis systems for Axial-Flow Compressors. It describes the basic fluid dynamic and thermodynamic principles, empirical models and numerical methods used for the full range of procedures and analytical tools that an engineer needs for virtually any type of Axial-Flow Compressor, aerodynamic design or analysis activity. It reviews and evaluates several design strategies that have been recommended in the literature or which have been found to be effective. It gives a complete description of an actual working system, such that readers can implement all or part of the system. Engineers responsible for developing, maintaining of improving design and analysis systems can benefit greatly from this type of reference. The technology has become so complex and the role of computers so pervasive that about the only way this can be done today is to concentrate on a specific design and analysis system. The author provides practical methodology as well as the details needed to implement the suggested procedures.

The original Air Engines (also known as a heat, hot air, caloric, or Stirling engines), predated the modern internal combustion engine. This early engine design always had great potential for high efficiency/low emission power generation. However, the primary obstacle to its practical use in the past has been the lack of sufficiently heat-resistant materials. This obstacle has now been eliminated due to the higher strength of modern materials and alloys. Several companies in the U.S. and abroad are successfully marketing new machines based on the Air Engine concept. Allan Organ and Theodor Finkelstein are two of the most respected researchers in the field of Air Engines. Finkelstein is considered a pioneer of Stirling cycle simulation. The historical portion of the book is based on four famous articles he published in 1959. The rest of the chapters assess the development of the air engine and put it in the modern context, as well as investigate its future potential and applications. The audience for this book includes mechanical engineers working in power related industries, as well as researchers, academics, and advanced students concerned with recent developments in power generation.

This document's purpose is to provide pipeline operators with historical data on line pipe, so that they will be able to operate their pipelines, particularly the older ones, with greater confidence in their safety and reliability. The document is comprised of four major sections. The first explains the manufacturing processes that have been and are being used to make line pipe. The second presents tables by type of pipe listing the manufacturers of line pipe, past and present, in North America. At the end of this section some techniques for identifying unknown pipe samples are presented. In the third section the API line pipe specifications as they have evolved since 1928 are reviewed. The fourth section is a glossary of terms frequently associated with line pipe manufacturing.

Now in a hardbound format, this extensive source of crack stress analysis information is nearly double the size of the previous edition. Along with revisions, the authors provide 150 new pages of analysis and information. This classic volume can serve as an excellent reference, as well as a text for in-house training courses in various industries and academic settings.
