The authors have devoted themselves to making wood or metal models of most of the constructions presented; 33 color plates nicely show off their success in this area.\"--Stan Wagon, American Scientist \"The question posed by this book turns out to be a real toughie, but nevertheless the authors urge you to answer it. This gem of a book tackles several such questions, revealing why they are crucial to engineering and to our understanding of our everyday world. With a nice emphasis on practical experiments, the authors do a refreshing job of bringing out the mathematics you learned in school but sadly never knew why. And they show just how intuitive it can be.\"--Matthew Killeya, New Scientist \"Mathematics teachers and Sudoku addicts will simply be unable to put the book down... Part magic show, part history lesson, and all about geometry, How Round Is Your Circle? is an eloquent testimonial to the authors' passion for numbers. Perhaps it will spark a similar interest in some young numerophile-to-be.\"--Civil Engineering \"This is a great book for engineers and mathematicians, as well as the interested lay person.

I can strongly recommend it to anyone with a bit of math knowledge and an interest in engineering problems--a terrific book.\"--Norman Billingham, Journal of the Society of Model and Experimental Engineers \"This book has many gems and rainbows... The book will appeal to all recreational mathematicians ... not just because of the way it is written, but also because of the way puzzles, plane dissections and packing and the odd paper folding or origami task are used to bring a point home... More than one copy of this book should be in every school library... It should help to inspire a new generation into mathematics or engineering as well as be accessible to the general reader to show how much mathematics has made the modern world.\"--John Sharp, LMS Newsletter \"This book can be dense, but it is great for dipping into, a rich resource of interesting thinking and project ideas. Bryant and Sangwin, the engineer and the mathematician, must have had a great time putting this book together.

At the core of this book is a concise history of this much-maligned tool. Serious and comical observations parallel its chequered life, from its bent beginnings in the blacksmith's shop to over-designed and lovingly engineered treasures from the small Birmingham machinist. Around this core are discussions and findings about components and construction on the practical side, and patents, registered designs and trade marks on the design protection side. Emerging from history, we take a closer look at uses and especially abuses, immerse ourselves in an analysis of types and styles, and dive deeply into the histories of the inventors and makers.

This book describes the design, construction and use of a variety of spindles that will be of interest to the amateur engineer. Milling, grinding and drilling spindles are covered along with a unique light gear-cutting frame for clockmakers. The emphasis is on spindles that are easy to make and have as few parts as possible; all but one for example use sealed ball bearings (the exception uses tapered collar bearings and thus needs to have seals installed to protect the bearings.) The basic spindle described uses the same spindle nose as the Myford Super 7 lathe; this allows all chucks, plates, collets and closers designed for the lathe to be used with this spindle.

There are two basic types of wind tunnels: the closed-circuit and the open-circuit. Open-circuits draw air from the ambient environment and exhaust it back to the ambient after exiting the fan, while in closed-circuit, the air repeatedly circulates through the tunnel. The closed-circuit design delivers improved efficiency and generates less noise, but it is more expensive and more difficult to manufacture. Wind tunnels are typically used in aerodynamic research to analyse the behaviour of flows under varying conditions, both within channels and over solid surfaces. The present book focus on uses and developments of wind tunnels. It consists on nine chapters presenting different studies on the design, uses and developments of the wind tunnel in different applications like wind turbines, building and aircraft models. The presented case studies and development approaches aim to provide the readers, such as engineers and PhD students, with basic and applied studies broadly related to the wind tunnels and its applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefaceNumerical Investigation of the Collector Geometry Effect on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Flow inside a Wind TunnelStudy of the Diffuser Geometry Effect on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Flow inside a Wind TunnelEffect of the Collector Inlet Radius on the Turbulent Flow inside a Wind TunnelStudy of the Rotating Area Effect on the Turbulent Flow around a Savonius Wind RotorStudy of the Meshing Choice of a NACA2415 Airfoil Wind TurbineStudy of the Wedging Angle Effect of a NACA2415 Airfoil Wind Turbine in a Wind TunnelStudy of the NACA Airfoil Effect of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine in a Wind TunnelComputer Simulation of the Aerodynamic Structure of Inclined Roof Obstacles with Different Heights in a Wind TunnelWind Tunnel Tests of Delta Wing with Privileged ApexIndex.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886135652695,"sku":"9781536158984","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536158984.jpg?v=1722538946"},{"product_id":"technical-notes-on-next-generation-aero-combustor-design-development-and-related-combustion-research-9781536197242","title":"Technical Notes on Next Generation Aero Combustor","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim of this book is to identify that extra high-pressure ratio (such as about 70) civil aero engine low emissions combustors and extra high fuel air ratio (FAR) (such as FAR\u0026gt;0.051) military aero engine combustors make up the next generation of aero combustors. The aero thermal design of these combustors is very different from previous combustors and the major design points are proposed. Two types of high-pressure low emissions combustor design have been suggested: one is without fuel staging and the other is with fuel staging. The high FAR combustor design is brand new. The layout of the next-generation aero combustor is very different. There are no primary holes, no intermediate holes, and no dilution holes. They all have direct mixing combustion. For low-emissions combustors, it is lean direct mixing (LDM) combustion. For high-FAR combustors, it is stoichiometric direct mixing combustion. Combustion air fraction is very high (such as \u0026gt;75%). That will induce idle condition lean blow out (LBO) issue. The present book has proposed several design approaches to solve idle LBO issue, which are effective. Pilot fuel air combustion is designed at idle condition. For civil combustor, maximum condition is designed for low emissions, while for high FAR combustor, maximum condition is designed for non-visible smoke, low luminous flame radiation and good combustion efficiency. For each type of combustor, the fuel air module configuration is designed, which is the most essential part of combustor design. The brand-new combustor cooling design has used a compound angle tangential inlet cooling hole configuration. Such a cooling design provides high cooling effectiveness. The diffuser configuration is totally new. It is an air bleeding diffuser, directly stretching forward to contact the dome. The bled air flows to the annular channel as cooling air. Aero combustor development is discussed in this book. In particular, the combustor developments from technology readiness level (TRL) 3 to TRL level 6 have been discussed in detail. Also reported is the technology to run combustor development tests correctly. Three topics of related combustion research by the present author are summarised in the brochure. They are: a. Fuel injection and co-flowing air combination. The key point is, for next generation combustor development, the designer should not only think about atomization. The combination of fuel injection and co-flowing air should be considered together as a whole device. b. Fuel spray evaporation calculation, the key is an engineering calculation of multi-component fuel evaporation shall be used. c. Non-luminous flame radiation calculation, which has been significantly updated. The present book is a summary of the author's ten years of study on next-generation aero combustors after retirement. It represents advanced aero combustor technology level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; Introduction to Aero Combustor Design; Briefing on Next Generation Aero Combustor Design; Type One High Pressure Low Emissions Civil Aero Combustor (without Fuel Staging) Preliminary Design; Type One High Pressure Low Emissions Combustor (without Fuel Staging) Detail Design; Type Two High Pressure Low Emissions Combustor (with Fuel Staging) Design; Design of High FAR Combustor; Next Generation Aero Combustor Development; Research on Fuel Injection and Co-Flowing Air Combustion; Fuel Spray Evaporation Research; Non-Luminous Flame Radiation Calculation; Bibliography.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886206497111,"sku":"9781536197242","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536197242.jpg?v=1722539206"},{"product_id":"advances-in-condensed-matter-and-materials-research-1-9781560729259","title":"Advances in Condensed Matter and Materials","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886335242583,"sku":"9781560729259","price":92.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781560729259.jpg?v=1722539664"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/mechanical-engineering.oembed?page=7","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
