Cuando Cristóbal Colón partió hacia el Este desde el Nuevo Mundo, ya había explorado San Salvador en las Bahamas (que creía que era Japón), Cuba (que creía que era China) y La Española, la fuente del oro. Según cuenta la historia, Colón, de regreso a España tras su primer viaje, hizo escala en Lisboa para informar al rey portugués Juan II de su descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo. El Rey Juan protestó que, según el Tratado de Alcáçovas de 1479, que dividía el Océano Atlántico entre las esferas de influencia española y portuguesa, las tierras recién descubiertas pertenecían legítimamente a Portugal. Para dejar claro el punto, se autorizó el envío de una flota portuguesa desde el Tajo hacia el oeste para reclamar las "Indias", lo que provocó una oleada de actividad diplomática en la corte de Fernando e Isabel. En aquel momento, España carecía de poder naval para impedir que Portugal cumpliera su amenaza, y el resultado fue el Tratado de Tordesillas de 1494, de enorme influencia.

Ejectors for Efficient Refrigeration Design, Applications and Computational Fluid Dynamics

Ejectors for Efficient Refrigeration Design, Applications and Computational Fluid Dynamics
Free Download Ejectors for Efficient Refrigeration: Design, Applications and Computational Fluid Dynamics by Giuseppe Grazzini, Adriano Milazzo, Federico Mazzelli
English | April 3, 2018 | ISBN: 331975243X | 197 pages | MOBI | 7.36 Mb
Encompassing both practical applications and recent research developments, this book takes the reader from fundamental physics, through cutting-edge new designs of ejectors for refrigeration. The authors' unique vision marries successful design, system optimization, and operation experience with insights on the application of cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models. This robust treatment leads the way forward in developing improved ejector technologies. The book covers ejectors used for heat powered refrigeration and for expansion work recovery in compression refrigerators, with special emphasis on two-phase flows of "natural" fluids within the ejector, i.e. steam and carbon dioxide. It features worked examples, detailed research results, and analysis tools.

Robust innovation in the United States is key to a strong and competitive industry and workforce. Efforts to improve the capacity of individuals and organizations to innovate must be a high national priority to ensure that the United States remains a leader in the global economy. How is the United States preparing its students and workers to innovate and excel? What skills and attributes need to be nurtured? The aim of the Educate to Innovate project is to expand and improve the innovative capacity of individuals and organizations by identifying critical skills, attributes, and best practices - indeed, cultures - for nurturing them. The project findings will enable educators in industry and at all levels of academia to cultivate the next generation of American innovators and thus ensure that the U.S. workforce remains highly competitive in the face of rapid technological changes. Educate to Innovate summarizes the keynote and plenary presentations from a workshop convened in October 2013. The workshop brought together innovators and leaders from various fields to share insights on innovation and its education. This report continues on to describe the specific skills, experiences, and environments that contribute to the success of innovators, and suggests next steps based on discussion from the workshop.
