Book SynopsisThis book presents the basics of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP). The author presents the material-specific advantages of FRP and the typical areas of their application. The problems created by conventional, non-integrating product development are listed and the author states how these problems are potentially overcome by integrated product development (IPD). In addition, it is explained why IPD is of particular importance for FRP. An approach to IPD for FRP-parts is presented. It is explained step by step how a catalogue of requirements is defined as well as how this basis is used to develop a concept, a design, and a final construction. Simple but effective methods for the selection of fiber materials, semi-finished products and manufacturing processes are highlighted in this book. A concluding chapter describes an approach to techno-economic evaluation. Throughout the book, practical application examples show the reader how to put the gained knowledge into practice.Table of ContentsContent I List of used akronyms.

Book SynopsisThis book constructs a history of Newtown Creek’s industrial expansion during the period that began in the 1840s and continued through the early years of the 20th century. In that period, the production of reagent chemicals and refined materials near the center of modern-day New York City grew steadily, as practitioners, alert to European advances in chemical science, developed and applied increasingly sophisticated technologies. Innovations in methods of production, ready access to domestic and international markets, and sustained growth in volumes of production at Newtown Creek in the late 19th century had profound consequences for the practice of industrial chemistry in the United States and for the economic vitality of the City of New York. Industrial practice progressed from the recovery of animal tissues to the refining of crude petroleum and the production of high-purity copper and other metals from mineral ores. With attention to each company’s technical expertise and principal products, this book examines the interdependence of the chemicals- and materials-producing industries that thrived along Newtown Creek’s shores. The author recounts Newtown Creek’s industrial history alongside the stories of well-known New Yorkers – Peter Cooper, Charles Pratt, John D. and William Rockefeller – and other less celebrated or less notorious characters. This book provides a valuable account of New York’s history in the manufacture of reagent chemicals and refined fuels and metals and will appeal to researchers, scholars and historians interested in the early years of industrial chemistry.Table of ContentsNewtown Creek and New York City.- Skin and Bones.- Oil of Vitriol: Martin Kalbfleisch and the Manufacture of Reagent Chemicals at Newtown Creek.- Superphosphate.- Abraham Gesner and the New York Kerosene Oil Company.- Benjamin Silliman, Jr., and the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company.- Charles Pratt, Henry Rogers, and Astral Oil.- Acid and copper: The 50-year Partnership of John Brown Francis Herreshoff and William Nichols.- The Standard Oil Company and New York City.- Industry, Invention, and the Americans; Newtown Creek, then and Now.

Book SynopsisThis bestselling standard, now in its fifth, completely revised English edition, is an excellent source of technological and economic information on the most important precursors and intermediates used in the chemical industry. Both a handbook and ready reference, this volume has a uniform structure for ease of use, with a number of fold-out flow charts illustrating complex chemical processes, plus summaries and relevant statistical data in the margins. The text is rounded off by a comprehensive list of references and a detailed subject index. From reviews of previous editions (authored by K. Weissermel/H.-J. Arpe) "This book is an immensely comprehensive and practical work. University chemistry students would benefit from reading this book as it provides a valuable insight into chemical technology, which is often lacking in undergraduate chemistry courses. The university lecturer can obtain examples of applied organic syntheses and keep up to date with the constant changes in chemical manufacturing. It should appeal most to chemists and engineers in the chemical industry, who should benefit from the technological, scientific and economic interrelationships and their potential developments." (Synthesis - Journal of Synthetic Organic Chemistry) "It would be unkind and misleading to call this book a poor man's Kirk Othmer, but it could almost be described as an encyclopedia... it is easy to read and one has to admire the authors' dedication and endeavor in getting so much into a single volume. They have provided a book that is interesting reading as well as being an excellent reference. It is a highly recommended book, which I hope the authors will find the energy to continue updating on a regular basis." (Chemistry in Britain) "...it should be ready to hand to every chemist or process engineer involved directly or indirectly with industrial organic chemistry. It should be in the hand of every higher-graduate student, especially if chemical technology is not part of the study, like in many college universities..." (Tenside-Surfactants-Detergents) "Whether student or scientist, theorist or practician - everybody interested in industrial organic chemistry will appreciate this work. ..." (farbe + lack)Trade Review"The fourth edition of this established work follows in the excellent tradition of the previous three editions. It retains the concept of the original, providing technological and economic information on the key building blocks of the chemical industry. The book is packed with information, much of which cannot easily be found elsewhere, and certainly not in such a readily digestible form. The companies and innovators responsible for the chemistry described are clearly credited, and indeed this volume provides an excellent history of the worldwide bulk organic chemicals industry. Throughout the book the authors indicate potential future developments in the manufacture of these important precursors and intermediates. The reader friendly format seen in the previous editions is retained, wherein each chapter or subsection is provided with a chemical flow diagram illustrating the interrelationship of the products, these flow diagrams folding out such that they can be constantly referred to whilst reading the text. In addition, the main text is accompanied by a synopsis in the margin, which concisely presents all of the essential points, thus facilitating browsing. The contents are logically and clearly organized, and there are detailed reference lists for each chapter, together with an extensive index. This latest edition also includes updated statistics and adopts the new IUPAC nomenclature guidelines.(...) This book will be a positive addition to the libraries and bookshelves of chemists and chemical engineers working in the organic sector, including those to whom many of the molecules describes are considered to be "commercially available starting materials". Non-scientists (e.g. industrial economists, lawyers) will also gain an appreciation of the complex technological, scientific and economic inter-relationships (and potential developments) which characterize industrial organic chemistry." Organic Process Research & Development, Peter Spargo "This book is an immensely comprehensive and practical work. University chemistry students would benefit from reading this book as it provides a valuable insight into chemical technology, which is often lacking in undergraduate chemistry courses. The university lecturer can obtain examples of applied organic syntheses and keep up to date with the constant changes in chemical manufacturing.

Book SynopsisCovering the various aspects of this fast-evolving field, this comprehensive book includes the fundamentals and a comparison of current applications, while focusing on the latest, novel achievements and future directions. The introductory chapters explore the thermodynamic and electrochemical processes to better understand how electrolysis cells work, and how these can be combined to build large electrolysis modules. The book then goes on to discuss the electrolysis process and the characteristics, advantages, drawbacks, and challenges of the main existing electrolysis technologies. Current manufacturers and the main features of commercially available electrolyzers are extensively reviewed. The final chapters then present the possible configurations for integrating water electrolysis units with renewable energy sources in both autonomous and grid-connected systems, and comment on some relevant demonstration projects. Written by an internationally renowned team from academia and industry, the result is an invaluable review of the field and a discussion of known limitations and future perspectives.Table of ContentsForeword XIII Preface XV List of Contributors XIX 1 Introduction 1Agata Godula-Jopek 1.1 Overview on Different Hydrogen Production Means from a Technical Point of View 10 1.2 Summary Including Hydrogen Production Cost Overview 21 References 28 2 Fundamentals ofWater Electrolysis 33Pierre Millet 2.1 Thermodynamics of theWater Splitting Reaction 33 2.2 Efficiency of ElectrochemicalWater Splitting 46 2.3 Kinetics of theWater Splitting Reaction 52 2.4 Conclusions 59 Nomenclature 59 Greek symbols 60 Subscripts or superscripts 60 Acronyms 60 References 61 3 PEMWater Electrolysis 63Pierre Millet 3.1 Introduction, Historical Background 63 3.2 Concept of Solid Polymer Electrolyte Cell 65 3.3 Description of Unit PEM Cells 67 3.4 Electrochemical Performances of Unit PEM Cells 76 3.5 Cell Stacking 94 3.6 Balance of Plant 100 3.7 Main Suppliers, Commercial Developments and Applications 102 3.8 Limitations, Challenges and Perspectives 105 3.9 Conclusions 111 Nomenclature 113 Greek symbols 113 Subscripts or superscripts 114 Acronyms 114 References 114 4 AlkalineWater Electrolysis 117Nicolas Guillet and Pierre Millet 4.1 Introduction and Historical Background 117 4.2 Description of Unit Electrolysis Cells 121 4.3 Electrochemical Performances of AlkalineWater Electrolysers 137 4.4 Main Suppliers, Commercial Developments and Applications 147 4.5 Conclusions 161 Nomenclature 162 Greek Symbols 162 Subscripts or Superscripts 162 Acronyms 163 References 163 5 Unitized Regenerative Systems 167Pierre Millet 5.1 Introduction 167 5.2 Underlying Concepts 168 5.3 Low-Temperature PEM URFCs 174 5.4 High-Temperature URFCs 182 5.5 General Conclusion and Perspectives 187 Nomenclature 187 Greek Symbols 188 Subscripts or Superscripts 188 Acronyms 188 References 189 6 High-Temperature Steam Electrolysis 191Jérôme Laurencin and Julie Mougin 6.1 Introduction 191 6.2 Overview of the Technology 191 6.3 Fundamentals of Solid-State Electrochemistry in SOEC 197 6.4 Performances and Durability 244 6.5 Limitations and Challenges 253 6.6 Specific OperationModes 259 List of Terms 262 Roman symbols 262 Greek Symbols 263 Abbreviations 264 References 264 7 Hydrogen Storage Options Including Constraints and Challenges 273Agata Godula-Jopek 7.1 Introduction 273 7.2 Liquid Hydrogen 276 7.3 Compressed Hydrogen 281 7.4 Cryo-Compressed Hydrogen 284 7.5 Solid-State Hydrogen Storage Including Materials and System-Related Problems 286 7.6 Summary 304 References 306 8 Hydrogen: A Storage Means for Renewable Energies 311Cyril Bourasseau and Benjamin Guinot 8.1 Introduction 311 8.2 Hydrogen: A Storage Means for Renewable Energies (RE) 312 8.3 Electrolysis Powered by Intermittent Energy: Technical Challenges, Impact on Performances and Reliability 327 8.4 Integration Schemes and Examples 351 8.5 Techno-Economic Assessment 362 8.6 The Role of Simulation for Economic Assessment 365 8.7 Conclusion 378 References 379 9 Outlook and Summary 383Agata Godula-Jopek and Pierre Millet 9.1 Comparison ofWater Electrolysis Technologies 387 9.2 Technology Development Status and Main Manufacturers 387 9.3 Material and System Roadmap Specifications 390 References 393 Index 395

Book SynopsisFocusing on current and future uses of microbes as production organisms, this practice-oriented textbook complements traditional texts on microbiology and biotechnology. The editors have brought together leading researchers and professionals from the entire field of industrial microbiology and together they adopt a modern approach to a well-known subject. Following a brief introduction to the technology of microbial processes, the twelve most important application areas for microbial technology are described, from crude bulk chemicals to such highly refined biomolecules as enzymes and antibodies, to the use of microbes in the leaching of minerals and for the treatment of municipal and industrial waste. In line with their application-oriented topic, the authors focus on the "translation" of basic research into industrial processes and cite numerous successful examples. The result is a first-hand account of the state of the industry and the future potential for microbes in industrial processes. Interested students of biotechnology, bioengineering, microbiology and related disciplines will find this a highly useful and much consulted companion, while instructors can use the case studies and examples to add value to their teaching.Table of ContentsPreface xvii 1 Historical Overview and Future Perspective 1Bernhard Eikmanns, Marcella Eikmanns, and Christopher J.

Book SynopsisThe drug discovery and development process is getting longer, more expensive, and no better. The industry suffers from the same clinical attrition and safety-related market withdrawal rates today as it did 20 years ago. Industrialization of Drug Discovery: From Target Selection Through Lead Optimization scrutinizes these problems in detail, contrasting the promise of technology and industrialization with the challenges of using the tools available to their best advantage. The book explores early successes, examines the current state of the art, and provides a strategic analysis of the issues currently facing drug discovery.Introducing the historical background and current status of the industry, the book delineates the basic tenets underlying modern drug discovery, how they have evolved, and their use in various approaches and strategies. It examines, in detail, the regulations, requirements, guidelines, and draft documents that guide so many FDA actions. The editor devotes the remainder of the discussion to industrialization, compound and knowledge management functions, the drug screening process, collaboration, and finally, ethical issues. Drawing on real-life, from-the-trenches examples, the book elucidates a new approach to drug discovery and development. This modern-day, back-to-basics approach includes three steps: understand the science, unravel the story, and then intelligently apply the technology, bringing to bear the entire armamentarium of industrialization techniques, not just automation, to the discovery process. Using these steps, you can meet the goals of more specific targets, more selective compounds, and decreased cycle times. In effect, you can look for a bigger needle in a smaller haystack. Daniel E. Levy, editor of the Drug Discovery Series, is the founder of DEL BioPharma, a consulting service for drug discovery programs. He also maintains a blog that explores organic chemistry.Trade Review“The book comprises of 10 well-defined chapters. Detailed discussion on historical background to drug discovery in modern age consists of basic concepts, how they have evolved and various approaches and strategies in modern drug discovery. … The book provides a very good review on all aspects of industrialization of drug discovery. … the book is of particular interest since it gives a systematic and in depth account of related topics to transform research into industrialization. This is a very good book of relevance to anyone interested in drug discovery and more, so for all personnel working in drug discovery.” —K. S.

Book SynopsisA concise treatment of the fundamentals of thermodynamics is presented in this book. In particular, emphasis is placed on discussions of the second law, a unique feature of thermodynamics, which states the limitations of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The entropy function that permits the loss in the potential of a real thermodynamic process to be assessed, the maximum possible work in a process, and irreversibility and equilibrium are deduced from the law through physical and intuitive considerations. They are applicable in mitigating waste heat and are useful for solving energy, power, propulsion and climate-related issues.The treatment is not restricted to properties and functions of ideal gases. The ideal gas assumption is invoked as a limiting case. Reversible paths between equilibrium states are obtained using reversible heat engines and reversible heat pumps between environment and systems to determine the entropy changes and the maximum work.
