Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Anyone can memorize the thrust equation. Far fewer can explain WHY raising the turbine inlet temperature helps - what limits it, and exactly what a designer sacrifices to push it higher.That gap - between applying a formula and truly understanding it - is where most propulsion education quietly stops. This book is built to carry you across it. Principles of Gas Turbine and Jet Engine Engineering develops the entire subject from its foundations. Every formula is derived, not dropped on the page. Every calculated number carries its units. Every assumption is stated plainly, so you always know when a result can be trusted - and when it can't. The book reads as one connected argument: from the thermodynamic language of the working fluid, through the Brayton cycle, to the ideal and real analysis of the turbojet, and finally to the machine itself, component by component. What you'll master: - The Brayton cycle - and where a real engine's efficiency actually goes- Ideal versus real turbojet analysis, station by station, with every loss accounted for- Inlets, diffusers, and nozzles, from subsonic flow through supersonic- Axial and centrifugal compressors: velocity triangles, stage loading, surge and stall, and how to read a compressor map- Axial turbines: the work balance, choking and flow capacity, and the hot-section limits that govern the whole engine- Combustion: stoichiometry, zoning, and the three competing demands every combustor must satisfy- Off-design matching, turbofans, and augmented cycles- Materials, blade cooling, installation, emissions, and noise - the real constraints that decide whether an elegant cycle becomes a viable engine Worked examples make each principle visible. End-of-chapter practice problems - each with a full answer key - let you prove you can apply it yourself. Who it's for: the upper-level engineering undergraduate meeting propulsion seriously for the first time, and the early-career engineer handed a cycle deck or a compressor map and asked to make sense of it. If you study or work in aerospace, aeronautical, or mechanical engineering - and you want turbomachinery to finally make sense instead of intimidate - this is your book. Finish it, and you won't just compute the thrust of a turbojet or the work of a compressor stage. You'll be able to explain, defend, and extend every result - reasoning from physical principle the way a working engineer must. Build the understanding that separates the engineer who can apply a method from the one who can create it. Add Principles of Gas Turbine and Jet Engine Engineering to your cart today - and start reading the engine the way its designers do.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A fire-protection calculation can be flawless on paper - and still fail when the fire comes.Codes give you the rules. Software gives you a number. Neither teaches the one skill that decides whether a building's people have water between them and the flames: knowing whether the answer is actually right - and being able to prove it.Water-Based Fire Protection Engineering is the practice-led guide that takes you the entire distance - from the properties of water to a system that is designed, verified, commissioned, and kept sound for its whole service life. It doesn't just show you how to run a hydraulic calculation. It teaches you to explain the result, test whether it's credible, catch the 'flawless wrong answer' before an inspector or a fire does, and defend every decision that follows.Inside, you'll master: - Hydraulics from the ground up - pressure, head, flow, friction loss, and pipe networks, built from first principles with every variable and unit defined.- Real water supplies - flow tests, supply curves, and the demand-versus-supply proof that decides adequacy.- Complete system design - sprinkler discharge, fire pumps, storage, standpipes, deluge, preaction, water mist, and foam-water systems.- The full node-by-node hydraulic calculation - worked end to end, by hand, so you finally own what the software does.- Calculation verification & model auditing - the discipline most books skip: how to find the error that makes a perfect-looking design deadly.- Commissioning, acceptance & field validation - hydrostatic tests, pump tests, and the acceptance baseline that protects a system for decades.- Life-cycle, ITM & resilience - keeping a system as sound as the day it was accepted.Built around the engineering principles behind modern fire codes and standards (including NFPA 13, 14, and 20), written SI-first with U.S.-customary units throughout, and illustrated with 60 clear technical figures, it turns intimidating math into approachable, professional practice.Who it's for: fire-protection, mechanical, and building-services engineering students; early-career designers building calculation and review fluency; candidates preparing for the PE Fire Protection exam and NICET certification; plan reviewers, inspectors, and AHJs who need a defensible basis for asking the right questions; and practicing engineers who want one reliable, systems-level reference.What sets it apart: 250+ fully worked examples and 300+ practice problems with boxed answer keys - 16 chapters and 470+ pages, with a glossary, list of symbols, and reference appendices - a one-of-a-kind design-to-assurance path: reason first, calculate second, verify always.Anyone can produce a number. This book makes you the engineer who can prove it's the right one. Add Water-Based Fire Protection Engineering to your cart today - and design systems you can stand behind on paper, in the field, and when it matters most. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A single jammer the size of a cigarette lighter can take down GPS for everything within a mile. So why does almost every navigation textbook still stop at the clean-sky case?Real vehicles - aircraft, autonomous cars, drones, ships, robots - don't operate in a laboratory. They lose satellites in urban canyons, drift when the inertial unit is left to run alone, and face interference that is now cheap, common, and sometimes deliberate. Positioning that survives the real world isn't one sensor done well. It's many sensors, fused correctly, with a system that knows when to trust each one.Integrated Navigation Systems is the graduate-level reference and practitioner's handbook for building exactly that. It develops modern Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) from first principles all the way to resilient, multisensor systems - and it does it the way an engineer actually learns: derivations you can follow line by line, worked examples solved in full, and code you can run.What makes this book differentMost texts teach a single technique in isolation. This one teaches integration - how GNSS, inertial navigation, and complementary sensors combine into a system that stays accurate when any one of them fails. You move from reference frames, inertial mechanization, and GNSS positioning through the estimation core (Kalman filtering, error-state formulations, factor graphs, and nonlinear optimization), then into loosely and tightly coupled GNSS/INS integration, all-source fusion, and visual, LiDAR, and radar-inertial odometry and SLAM. The final chapters take on what most books avoid entirely: integrity monitoring and ARAIM, resilience against jamming and spoofing, alternative PNT from LEO constellations and signals of opportunity, and full system design, testing, and reference architectures.Learn it by running it - in both MATLAB and PythonEvery worked example is implemented in both MATLAB and Python, so you can read whichever you know and pick up the other. The code isn't a screenshot - it's a free, maintained online companion of runnable scripts, one for every example, written to be modified: change a sensor grade, a noise level, or a geometry, and watch the estimator respond. That's how the intuition behind a filter actually forms.Built for people who need to get it rightClear derivations with every variable and unit defined. Worked examples with boxed final answers. Practice problems with worked answer keys at the end of each chapter. Reference tables of the constants, frames, and design values you reach for constantly. It's written to be studied cover to cover and kept on the desk afterward.This book is for you if you are: A graduate student or advanced undergraduate in aerospace, robotics, geomatics, or electrical engineeringA navigation, guidance, controls, or autonomy engineer building or integrating PNT systemsA researcher or developer working on drones, self-driving vehicles, or robotic platformsAn engineer who already knows one piece - GNSS or inertial or estimation - and needs to see how they fit togetherYou should be comfortable with calculus, linear algebra, and basic probability. From there, the book builds everything else.GPS was never meant to be trusted alone. Learn to build navigation that holds when it can't be. Scroll up and start reading today.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A building can have efficient HVAC, properly sized electrical equipment, solar panels, and intelligent controls, and still perform badly when those systems are designed in isolation.Modern buildings are connected energy systems. Heating and cooling loads affect electrical demand. Ventilation changes thermal performance. Heat pumps influence service capacity. Solar PV and batteries reshape power flow. EV charging adds major new loads. Controls determine whether everything works together.Fundamentals of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings gives you the engineering foundation to understand these relationships, perform the calculations behind them, coordinate systems correctly, and carry sound decisions from design through commissioning and operation.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN- Building physics, climate, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, heat transfer, moisture, and envelope behavior- Heating and cooling load calculations with stated assumptions, units, and engineering reasoning- Furnaces, boilers, electric heating, refrigeration, cooling equipment, and heat pumps- Ventilation, duct sizing, pressure losses, fans, hydronic systems, piping, pumps, balancing, and diagnostics- HVAC controls, BAS/BMS architecture, sequences, alarms, trends, and system integration- Electrical fundamentals, three-phase power, distribution, grounding or earthing, loads, panels, protection, fault current, conductors, motors, power quality, and standby power- Lighting design, LED systems, daylight integration, controls, emergency operation, and energy use- Solar PV, battery storage, inverters, energy management, EV charging, managed charging, and bidirectional applications- Integrated MEP coordination, commissioning, functional testing, handover, diagnostics, and life-cycle assuranceBUILT FOR PRACTICAL ENGINEERINGAcross 16 chapters, calculations are developed step by step and connected to practical engineering decisions.The book includes 74 practical examples, system schematics, design tables, control sequences, compliance checkpoints, practice problems, and answer keys. An integrated building case study brings HVAC, electrical distribution, controls, solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging together in one coordinated project.You will also learn the DRIVE diagnostic method: Define, Read, Isolate, Verify, Execute and Evaluate. DRIVE helps you follow evidence, isolate likely causes, verify faults, correct confirmed problems, and evaluate the result.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORDesigned for study and professional reference, this book is for engineering students, early-career designers, architects, contractors, technicians, facility professionals, and experienced practitioners seeking a cross-disciplinary understanding of building systems.The approach covers the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, while locally adopted requirements remain project-specific.Building systems no longer operate as separate specialties. Understanding how HVAC, electrical power, controls, renewable energy, storage, and electrification interact is essential to designing and operating buildings as complete systems.Stop seeing MEP as separate pieces. Start understanding the building as one engineered whole.Get your copy of Fundamentals of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment for Buildings today and build practical MEP knowledge you can carry from design calculations to commissioning, diagnostics, and real-world operation.
