  • Operators Guide to Process Compressors

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Operators Guide to Process Compressors

    Book SynopsisThe perfect primer for anyone responsible for operating or maintaining process gas compressors. Gas compressors tend to be the largest, most costly, and most critical machines employed in chemical and gas transfer processes. Since they tend to have the greatest effect on the reliability of processes they power, compressors typically receive the most scrutiny of all the machinery among the general population of processing equipment. To prevent unwanted compressor failures from occurring, operators must be taught how their equipment should operate and how each installation is different from one another. The ultimate purpose of this book is to teach those who work in process settings more about gas compressors, so they can start up and operate them correctly and monitor their condition with more confidence. Some may regard compressor technology as too broad and complex a topic for operating personnel to fully understand, but the author has distilled this vast body Table of ContentsPreface xv 1

  • Plastics and Sustainability Grey is the New Green

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Plastics and Sustainability Grey is the New Green

    Book SynopsisPlastics & Sustainability clearly lays out the thorny and contentious issues that we encounter at the nexus of plastics and sustainability. The book serves as a practical guide for making sustainability decisions about how plastics are made and used, including current developments in the newest bio-based plastics. Designers, marketers, academics, and engineers will all find something of value in this balanced and thoughtful second edition. Increased public scrutiny of plastics materials and the plastics industry has led, paradoxically, to both a deeper understanding and growing confusion about polymers, their origins, their uses, their risks, and ultimately their disposal. The author makes objective comparisons among major polymer grades and bioplastics including their life cycle assessments and practical performance in commercial applications.Table of

    Book SynopsisDescribes harmful elements and their bioremediation techniques for tannery waste, oil spills, wastewater, greenhouse gases, plastic and other wastes. Microenvironmental conditions in soil provide a natural niche for ultra-structures, microbes and microenvironments. The natural biodiversity of these microenvironments is being disturbed by industrialization and the proliferation of urban centers, and synthetic contaminants found in these micro-places are causing stress and instability in the biochemical systems of microbes. The development of new metabolic pathways from intrinsic metabolic cycles facilitate microbial degradation of diverse resistant synthetic compounds present in soil. These are a vital, competent and cost-effective substitute to conventional treatments. Highly developed techniques for bioremediation of these synthetic compounds are increasing and these techniques facilitate the development of a safe environment using renewable biomaterial for removal

The variational approach to the modeling of physical systems is the preferred approach to address complex mathematical modeling of both continuum and discrete media. This book provides a unified theoretical framework for the construction of a wide range of multiscale models. Introduction to the Variational Formulation in Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications enables readers to develop, on top of solid mathematical (variational) bases, and following clear and precise systematic steps, several models of physical systems, including problems involving multiple scales. It covers: Vector and Tensor Algebra; Vector and Tensor Analysis; MechaniTable of ContentsPreface xv Part I Vector and Tensor Algebra and Analysis 1 1 Vector and Tensor Algebra 3 1.1 Points and

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Simulation and Wargaming

    Book SynopsisUnderstanding the potential synergies between computer simulation and wargamingBased on the insights of experts in both domains, Simulation and Wargaming comprehensively explores the intersection between computer simulation and wargaming. This book shows how the practice of wargaming can be augmented and provide more detail-oriented insights using computer simulation, particularly as the complexity of military operations and the need for computational decision aids increases. The distinguished authors have hit upon two practical areas that have tremendous applications to share with one another but do not seem to be aware of that fact. The book includes insights into: The application of the data-driven speed inherent to computer simulation to wargamesThe application of the insight and analysis gained from wargames to computer simulationThe areas of concern raised by the combination of these two disparate yet related fieldsNew research and application opportunities emerging from the inteTable of ContentsForeword xv Preface xxiii List of Contributors xxv Author Biography xxix Prologue xli Part I Introduction 1 1 An Introduction to Wargaming and Modeling and Simulation 3Jeffrey Appleget Introduction 3 Terminology 3 An Abbreviated History of Wargames and Simulations 5 Wargames and Computer-Based Combat Simulations: From the Cold War to Today 6 Wargames Today 10 Simulations Today 13 Introduction 13 Simulation Types 13 Aggregate Simulations 13 Entity Simulations 14 Simulations and Prediction 14 Standard Assumptions 14 Data 15 Simulating the Reality of Combat 16 The Capability and Capacity of Modern Computing to Represent Combat 16 Finite Size 17 Number of Pieces/Entities 17 Terrain 18 Rules 18 Movement 18 Attack 19 Adjudication 19 Victory Conditions 19 Summary 20 Campaign Analysis 20 Conclusion 21 Part II Historical Context 23 2 A School for War – A Brief History of the Prussian Kriegsspiel 25Jorit Wintjes Introduction 25 Kriegsspiel Prehistory 29 A School for War – the Prussian Kriegsspiel 36 The Prussian Kriegsspiel 1824/28 – 1862 42 The Golden Age – 1862 to c. 1875 46 The Changing Kriegsspiel – c. 1875 to 1914 50 Kriegsspiel Beyond Borders – 1871 to 1914 54 Conclusion 59 3 Using Combat Models for Wargaming 65Joseph M.

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Root Cause Failure Analysis

    Book SynopsisRoot Cause Failure Analysis Provides the knowledge and failure analysis skills necessary for preventing and investigating process equipment failuresProcess equipment and piping systems are essential for plant availability and performance. Regularly exposed to hazardous service conditions and damage mechanisms, these critical plant assets can result in major failures if not effectively monitored and assessedpotentially causing serious injuries and significant business losses. When used proactively, Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) helps reliability engineers inspect the process equipment and piping system before any abnormal conditions occur. RCFA is equally important after a failure happens: it determines the impact of a failure, helps control the resultant damage, and identifies the steps for preventing future problems.Root Cause Failure Analysis: A Guide to Improve Plant Reliability offers readers clear understanding of degradation mechanisms of procesTable of ContentsPart- A 1- Introduction 2-What Is Root Cause Analysis 3-Failure Analysis Process 4-Managing Human Error and Latent Error Part-B 5- Metallurgical Failure Analysis 6- Piping Failure -Causes and Cure 7-Bolted Joint Failure 8- Coupling Failure 9-Bearing Failure 10- Mechanical Seal Failure 11-Failure of Centrifugal Pump 12- Failure of Reciprocating Pump 13- Failure of Centrifugal Compressor 14- Failure of Reciprocating Compressor 15-Lubrication Related Failure 16-Steam Trapfailure 17- Proactive Measures to Avoid Failure

    Book SynopsisVISCOPLASTIC FLOW IN SOLIDS PRODUCED BYSHEAR BANDING A complete overview of the topic of viscoplastic flow in solids produced by shear banding This book presents novel ideas about inelastic deformation and failure of solids in a clear, concise manner. It exposes readers to information that will allow them to acquire the competence and ability to deal with up-to-date manufacturing and failure processes. It also portrays a new understanding of deformation processes. Finally, shear banding's typical mechanism becomes the active cause of viscoplastic flow and not the passive effect. Viscoplastic Flow in Solids Produced by Shear Banding begins by discussing the new physical model of multilevel hierarchy and the evolution of micro-shear bands. In conclusion, it examines the difficulties of applying a direct multiscale integration scheme and extends the representative volume element (RVE) concept using the general theory of the singular surfaces of the microscopic velocity field sweeping outTable of ContentsPreface xi 1 Introduction 1 1.1 The Objective of the Work 1 1.2 For Whom Is This Work Intended? 2 1.3 State of the Art 3 1.3.1 Motivation Resulting from Industrial Applications 3 1.3.2 KOBO Processes Resulting in Viscous Effects 7 1.4 Summary of the Work Content 8 Acknowledgements 9 References 9 2 Physical Basis 11 2.1 Introductory Remarks 11 2.2 Deformation Mechanisms in Single Crystals 12 2.2.1 Plastic Glide and Twinning 12 2.2.2 Hierarchy of Plastic Slip Processes 14 2.2.3 Localised Forms of Plastic Deformation 17 2.2.4 Physical Nature of Shear Bands 19 2.3 Plastic Deformation in Polycrystals 23 2.3.1 Mechanisms of Plastic Deformation and the Evolution of Internal Micro- Stresses 23 2.3.2 Micro- shear Bands Hierarchy and Their Macroscopic Effects 25 2.3.3 Physical Nature of Micro- shear Bands in Polycrystals 28 2.3.4 Comments on ‘adiabatic’ Micro- shear Bands 29 References 29 3 Incorporation of Shear Banding Activity into the Model of Inelastic Deformations 37 3.1 Plastic Deformation of Metallic Solids vis- à- vis the Continuum Mechanics 37 3.2 Hypothesis on the Extension of the RVE Concept 39 3.3 Model of Shear Strain Rate Generated by Micro- shear Bands 41 References 46 4 Basics of Rational Mechanics of Materials 49 4.1 A Recollection of Rational Continuum Mechanics 49 4.2 The Rational Theory of Materials – Epilogue 52 4.2.1 The Concept of the Deformable Body 54 4.2.2 The Motion of the Body 55 4.2.3 The Deformation of a Body 56 4.2.4 The Deformation Gradient 56 References 59 5 Continuum Mechanics Description of Shear Banding 63 5.1 System of Active Micro- shear Bands Idealised as the Surface of Strong Discontinuity 63 5.1.1 On Finite Inelastic Deformations with High Lattice Misorientation 67 5.2 Macroscopic Averaging 67 References 73 6 Deformation of a Body Due to Shear Banding – Theoretical Foundations 75 6.1 Basic Concepts and Relations of Finite Inelastic Deformation of Crystalline Solids 75 6.2 Continuum Model of Finite Inelastic Deformations with Permanent Lattice Misorientation 77 6.3 Basic Concepts and Relations of Constitutive Description – Elastic Range 82 6.4 The Yield Limit Versus Shear Banding – The ‘extremal surface’ 83 References 85 7 The Failure Criteria Concerning the Onset of Shear Banding 87 7.1 The Yield Condition for Modern Materials – the State of the Art 87 7.2 The Yield Condition for the Isotropic Materials Revealing the Strength Differential Effect 90 7.3 Examples and Visualisations of the Particular Burzyński Failure Criteria 94 7.3.1 Ellipsoidal Failure Surface 94 7.3.2 Paraboloid Failure Surfaces 95 7.4 Remarks on the Extension Including Anisotropic Materials 98 References 101 8 Constitutive Description of Viscoplasticity Accounting for Shear Banding 107 8.1 The Model of Plastic Flow with Nonlinear Development of Kinematic Hardening 107 8.2 The Perzyna Viscoplasticity Model Accounting for Shear Banding 112 8.3 Identification of the Viscoplasticity Model 114 8.4 The Crystal Plasticity Modelling of Deformation Processes in Metals Accounting for Shear Banding 118 8.5 Viscoplastic Deformation of Nanocrystalline Metals 122 References 126 9 Conclusions 131 9.1 Concluding Remarks 131 9.1.1 Shear Banding- Mediated Flow vis- à- vis Ductile Failure Analysis 131 9.1.2 Application of Peridynamic Numerical Simulations of Shear Banding Processes 132 References 135 Subject Index 139 Name Index 141

  • Recycling from Waste in Fashion and Textiles

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Recycling from Waste in Fashion and Textiles

    Book SynopsisThe alarming level of greenhouse gases in the environment, fast depleting natural resources and the increasing level of industrial effluents, have made every single manufacturing activity come under the scrutiny of sustainability. When all kinds of waste such as clothes, furniture, carpets, televisions, shoes, paper, food wastes etc. end up in the landfill, only a few of them are naturally decomposed and thus a large majority remains as non-biodegradable. It is for this reason, efforts are concentrated to reduce the burden on earth by this waste, and as far as used textile products are concerned, there are now attempts to recycle or up-cycle. This book addresses the role of sustainability by using textile waste in fashion and textiles with respect to manufacturing, materials, as well as the economic and business challenges and opportunities it poses.

  • Bioadhesives in Drug Delivery

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Bioadhesives in Drug Delivery

    Book SynopsisThis important and unique book comprises 12 chapters divided into three parts examining the fundamental aspects, bioadhesive formulations, and drug delivery applications. Understanding the phenomenon of bioadhesion i.e. its theories or mechanism(s) are of critical importance in developing optimum bioadhesive polymers (used in bioadhesives). Such bioadhesive polymers are the key for exhibiting the process of bioadhesion, controlled/sustained release of drugs, and drug targeting. The use of bioadhesives restricts the delivery system to the site of interest and thus offers a useful and efficient technique for targeting a drug to the desired location for a prolonged duration. This book addresses the various relevant aspects of bioadhesives in drug delivery in an easily accessible and unified manner. The book containing 12 chapters written by eminent researchers from many parts of the globe is divided into three parts: Part 1: Fundamental Aspects; Part 2: Bioadhesive Formulations; ParTable of

    Book SynopsisThis unique book presents ways to mitigate the disastrous effects of snow/ice accumulation and discusses the mechanisms of new coatings deicing technologies. The strategies currently used to combat ice accumulation problems involve chemical, mechanical or electrical approaches. These are expensive and labor intensive, and the use of chemicals raises serious environmental concerns. The availability of truly icephobic surfaces or coatings will be a big boon in preventing the devastating effects of ice accumulation. Currently, there is tremendous interest in harnessing nanotechnology in rendering surfaces icephobic or in devising icephobic surface materials and coatings, and all signals indicate that such interest will continue unabated in the future. As the key issue regarding icephobic materials or coatings is their durability, much effort is being spent in developing surface materials or coatings which can be effective over a long period.

    Book SynopsisA Course in Luminescence Measurements and Analyses for Radiation Dosimetry A complete approach to the three key techniques in luminescence dosimetry In A Course in Luminescence Measurements and Analyses for Radiation Dosimetry, expert researcher Stephen McKeever delivers a holistic and comprehensive exploration of the three main luminescence techniques used in radiation dosimetry: thermoluminescence, optically stimulated luminescence, and radiophotoluminescence. The author demonstrates how the three techniques are related to one another and how they compare to each other. Throughout, the author's focus is on pedagogy, including state-of-the-art research only where it is relevant to demonstrate a key principle or where it reveals a critical insight into physical mechanisms. The primary purpose of the book is to teach beginning researchers about the three aforementioned techniques, their similarities and distinctions, and their applications.

    John Wiley & Sons Inc Layered 2D Materials and Their Allied

    Book SynopsisEver since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) have been the central tool of the materials research community. The reason behind their importance is their superlative and unique electronic, optical, physical, chemical and mechanical properties in layered form rather than in bulk form. The 2DLMs have been applied to electronics, catalysis, energy, environment, and biomedical applications.
