 GCC Hydrocarbon Economies and COVID: Old Trends, New Realities English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811954615 | 454 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 5.3 MB The book considers the impact of COVID-19 on the GCC member states through the prism of challenges faced by their hydrocarbon sector. Yet, the publication's discourse is not solely focused on the problems experienced by the oil and gas industries of the GCC member states after the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Instead, the contributors will analyze how these challenges and subsequent response to them affected other aspects of the GCC socio-economic and political development, from direct impact of the COVID on the energy sector of the GCC to socio-economic consequences of the oil market crisis for the region and its potential fallouts for the international relations of the Gulf.  Futuristic Manufacturing; Perpetual Advancement and Research Challenges by Mithilesh K. Dikshit English | 2023 | ISBN: 1000852121 | 194 pages | True PDF | 17.98 MB  Ronald J. Sider, "Future of Our Faith" English | ISBN: 1587433710 | 2016 | 240 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Younger Christians are leaving the church in droves, frustrated and disillusioned by the track record of American Christianity. Older Christians, who still lead most churches, are concerned about this trend. But the generations don't see eye to eye on many things. Here two evangelical leaders forty years apart in age discuss some of the biggest issues challenging Christianity today and into the future, such as marriage, homosexuality, creation care, and politics. The authors model and cultivate an intentional, charitable, and much-needed intergenerational dialogue. Each chapter includes sidebar reflections from notable Christian leaders and individual and small group study questions.  Fundamentals of refrigeration thermodynamics English | 2014 | ISBN: 978-87-403-0818-1 | 235 pages | EPUB | 9.99 MB The objective of the book is to serve first degree engineering students with an introduction to refrigeration systems. Typical topics include refrigeration thermodynamics, refrigeration systems and refrigeration modeling. These topics are presented in a student friendly manner assuming little to no previous knowledge of thermodynamis. The first part of the book deals with both the fundamentals of thermodynamics necessary in the study of refrigeration as well as the basics of refrigeration systems. The later chapters are more focused and slightly more advanced such that the student is introduced to the modeling aspects of refrigeration systems with the use of Mathworks® MATLAB.  Fundamentals of Hydrogen Safety Engineering II English | 2012 | ISBN: 978-87-403-0279-0 | 399 pages | EPUB | 5.91 MB The first part of this book is available in "Fundamentals of Hydrogen Safety Engineering, I  Fundamentals of Hydrogen Safety Engineering I English | 2012 | ISBN: 978-87-403-0226-4 | 431 pages | EPUB | 5.42 MB This is the first state-of-the-art book on hydrogen safety engineering. The author Prof Vladimir Molkov is an expert in this emerging discipline, leading the HySAFER Centre at the University of Ulster. Topics include releases and dispersion, ignitions and fires, deflagrations and detonations, etc. The book can be used by students of the distance learning MSc course in Hydrogen Safety Engineering, technology developers and safety engineers, regulators and officials permitting hydrogen and fuel cell systems and infrastructure or other stakeholders including public.  Fundamentals of Construction Management, 2nd edition English | 2022 | ISBN: 978-87-403-4089-1 | 277 pages | EPUB | 6.08 MB The Fundamentals of Construction Management is an important book invaluable to those who require knowledge on managing the construction process. The book is based on research, contemporary construction management and management literature, and the personal work experience of the author. The book is also based on a series of lecture notes used by the author for teaching the following subjects: Management of Building Projects (University of Lagos), Construction Management I and II (Caleb University, Lagos), and Construction Management (University of Cape Town) between 1996 and 2012 (a sixteen year period).  Fundamental Engineering Optimization Methods by Kamran Iqbal English | 2013 | ISBN: 978-87-403-0489-3 | 260 pages | EPUB | 3.8 MB This book is addressed to students in the fields of engineering and technology as well as practicing engineers. It covers the fundamentals of commonly used optimization methods in engineering design. These include graphical optimization, linear and nonlinear programming, numerical optimization, and discrete optimization. Engineering examples have been used to build an understanding of how these methods can be applied. The material is presented roughly at senior undergraduate level. Readers are expected to have familiarity with linear algebra and multivariable calculus.  Functional Membranes for High Efficiency Molecule and Ion Transport English | 2023 | ISBN: 981198154X | 546 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 145 MB This book provides an overview of functional membranes for efficient ion/molecule transfer and separation. It first presents the design, fabrication, structure, and performance of several kinds of membranes. Then, the application of membrane technology in organic solvent nanofiltration, hydrogen fuel cells, and solid-state lithium batteries is introduced. Furthermore, the book proposes strategies of strengthening the ion/molecular-level separation and transfer process in membrane processes. It also analyzes the development status, existing problems, and optimization methods in the field of membranes and membrane processes. Finally, it highlights the construction strategy of membrane structures, the structure-performance relationships as well as the transfer and separation mechanisms. The target group of this book is academics and researchers in materials science, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and other related fields.  Fuel usage of peat in industrial times English | 2020 | ISBN: 978-87-403-1501-1 | 104 pages | EPUB | 3.43 MB Electricity production with peat internationally is covered, with some emphasis on Finland and the Republic of Ireland. Less developed countries covered include Rwanda. Peat in briquetted or pelletised form is discussed next, and coverage of peat in carbonised form follows. Steam activation of the carbonised product to make an adsorbent carbon features with some numerical details. Use of peat as a general-purpose solid fuel, in recent times and less recent, follows and there is description of peat fuel for locomotives. All of this is to the accompaniment of illustrations, figures and tables. In recognition of the importance of controlling sulphur emissions in combustion processes, the sulphur contents of peat from various sources are given and sulphur dioxide control measures outlined. Next come gasification and liquefaction, including producer gas manufacture and retorting. The role of peatlands in carbon sequestration has major coverage and this is seen as being a significant bonus for readers. |
