Peter Martin and Walt Boyes

Over the last fifty years, almost none of the productivity gains in manufacturing have come from better chemistry or better design, or even better management and financial controls. Rather, those gains have come from better automation and control of the processes: continuous, batch, hybrid , and discrete. The secret to making manufacturing sustainable is better control. So, why aren't the theories that have led to enormous gains in productivity being used above the plant level?

Vytautis Giniotis and Anthony Hope

Automated machinery, such as computer numerical control machines (CNM), require constant monitoring for accuracy and precision. Thus, a correct understanding of 'metrology'--the science of measurement--is essential to the successful running and maintenance of all automated machines, and especially CNC machines.

William Hawkins

Modern industrial automation developed from simple pre-programmed machine instructions to complex general manufacturing systems in a span of about 50 years, and that development continues. Much of that development has proven disruptive for people and society, although many enjoy its benefits.

This book focuses on the all-important human-machine interface and its societal implications. Whether you’re immersed in the automation field or just want to learn more about this fascinating field, this exceptional title will be all you need.

Tubular Combustion

Print Price: 
$89.95
In Stock Date:

Satoru Ishizuka and Derek Dunn-Rankin

Tubular combustors are cylindrical tubes where flame ignition and propagation occur in a spatially confined, highly controlled environment, in a nearly flat, elongated geometry. This allows for some unique advantages where extremely even heat dispersion is required over a large surface while still maintaining fuel efficiency. Tubular combustors also allow for easy flexibility in type of fuel source, allowing for quick changeover to meet various needs and changing fuel pricing.

The Path to More Sustainable Energy Systems

Print Price: 
$76.95
In Stock Date: 
06/04/2013

Ben W. Ebenhack and Daniel M. Martinez

Energy engineers, technology managers, and political leaders all need a solid, holistic understanding of where the world finds its energy--the limits of that energy--and what we will need to do in the future if we are to have a cleaner and environmentally sustainable world, all without sacrificing our modern technological-based civilization.

This book will shed some much needed light on that conundrum. It...

BACnet: The Global Standard for Building Automation and Control Networks

Print Price: 
$99.95
In Stock Date: 
08/05/2013

H. Michael Newman

BACnet is a data communication protocol for building automation and control systems, developed within ASHRAE in cooperation with ANSI, CEN, and the ISO. This new book, by the original chairman of the BACnet committee, explains how the BACnet protocol manages all basic building functions in a seamless, integrated way.

PEM Fuel Cells: Thermal and Water Management Fundamentals

Print Price: 
$76.95
In Stock Date:
