Book SynopsisIn this new edition, Dr. Baumann—holder of more than 150 patents and author of more than 200 publications on control valves, fluid mechanics, and acoustics—shares his expertise in designing control loops and selecting final control elements. The easy-to-read text provides shortcuts through complex sizing and noise calculation formulas and gives practical advice on how to apply control valves for safety, reduced energy costs, loop stability, and easy maintenance.This edition expands on the following: The accurate, scientific-based, ABC sound-level prediction method that can be applied to all types and sizes of control valves in gas or liquid systems. A method of predicting pipe vibration levels based on acoustic sound power that enables technicians to spot dangerous acceleration levels which could damage pipes or attached instruments. Advances in aerodynamic noise suppression. Distributed control systems (DCSs) and smart positioners. The environmental impact of seat and stem packing leakage. Scientific insights on cavitation, super-sonic gas velocities, and turbulence. Selecting fail-safe valve open or close positions to meet cybersecurity demands.

Book SynopsisThis book analyzes stochastic processes on networks and regular structures such as lattices by employing the Markovian random walk approach. Part 1 is devoted to the study of local and non-local random walks. It shows how non-local random walk strategies can be defined by functions of the Laplacian matrix that maintain the stochasticity of the transition probabilities. A major result is that only two types of functions are admissible: type (i) functions generate asymptotically local walks with the emergence of Brownian motion, whereas type (ii) functions generate asymptotically scale-free non-local “fractional” walks with the emergence of Lévy flights. In Part 2, fractional dynamics and Lévy flight behavior are analyzed thoroughly, and a generalization of Pólya's classical recurrence theorem is developed for fractional walks. The authors analyze primary fractional walk characteristics such as the mean occupation time, the mean first passage time, the fractal scaling of the set of distinct nodes visited, etc. The results show the improved search capacities of fractional dynamics on networks.Table of ContentsPreface ix Part 1 Dynamics on General Networks 1 Chapter 1 Characterization of Networks: the Laplacian Matrix and its Functions 3 1.1.

Book SynopsisDigital Architecture employs computer modelling, programing, simulation, and imaging to create both virtual forms and physical structures, and it is becoming increasingly popular in today's architecture landscape the world over. This book presents the fast-shaping and actively progressing digital architecture scene in China as it discusses the current status and trends in its development, design, and construction, in the different dimensions of digital architecture. It includes four parts: Theoretical Explorations; Building Practice; Research Projects; and a chronology of digital architecture in China. The first part summarises the understanding and positioning of digital architecture in China from the perspectives of construction, design techniques, and design concepts. The second and third parts provide readers with a wealth of information and resource through many analytical diagrams, technical drawings, and construction and completion images. This book is not only an academic review, but also a lively account of digital architecture in China. This read will feel like a visit to a vivid Chinese digital architecture exhibition, and will be a welcome addition to any architecture reference collection.
