Springer Nature Switzerland AG Biogas Combustion Engines for Green Energy
Book SynopsisThis book deals with the combustion and exhaust emissions of gas engines fueled with green biogas. Biogas is a mixture of gases, primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, food waste, etc. Biogas is considered to be a renewable source of energy. Therefore, it can contribute to the prevention of global warming.The biogas engine is used to co-generate electricity by operating engine and heat from hot exhaust gases. The energy source used very efficiently. Unlike other green energy sources such as wind and solar, biogas is readily available when needed.This book first describes the basics of biogas and its application to internal combustion engines. Next, it describes the engine system and the combustion phenomena in the engine cylinder. Engine technology continues to advance in spark ignition and dual-fuel engines to achieve higher thermal efficiency and lower harmful emissions. Several advanced combustion technologies are introduced to achieve higher thermal efficiency while avoiding knocking.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Fundamentals of combustion behavior of gas engine.- Combustion and exhaust emissions of biogas spark-ignition engines.- Combustion and exhaust emissions of biogas dual-fuel engine.- Technologies for higher thermal efficiency.- Summary.

United Nations Recommendations on the transport of dangerous
Book SynopsisThe Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS.At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled "Manual of Tests and Criteria".

Taylor & Francis Ltd Commercial Aircraft Projects
Book SynopsisWhen it comes to very highly complex, commercially funded product-development projects it is not sufficient to apply standard project management techniques to manage and keep them under control. Instead, they need a project management approach which is perfectly adapted to their complex nature. This, however, may generate additional cost and a dilemma arises because in commercially-driven product developments there is the natural tendency to limit the management-related costs. The development of a new commercial aircraft is no exception. In fact, it can be regarded as an extreme example of this kind of project. This is why it is especially useful to analyse the project management capabilities and practices needed to manage them. Cost reductions can still be achieved by concentrating on the essential elements of some project management disciplines, to maintain their principal strengths, and combining them in a pragmatic way on the basis of an integrated architecture.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Land UseTransport Interaction Models
Book SynopsisTransport and the spatial location of population and activities have been important themes of study in engineering, social sciences and urban and regional planning for many decades. However, an integrated approach to the modelling of transport and land use has been rarely made, and common practice has been to model both phenomena independently.This book presents an introduction to the modelling of land use and transport interaction (LUTI), with a theoretical basis and a presentation of the broad state of the art. It also sets out the steps for building an operational LUTI model to provide a concrete application. The authors bring extensive experience in this cross-disciplinary field, primarily for an academic audience and for professionals seeking a thorough introduction.Trade Review"It is a book that will be of greatest use to those with some background in the field, or those with a more general quantitative background who seek a guide to what is happening in the world of land use–transport interaction modeling."-- Kenneth Button, George Mason University, USATable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: A Brief History of LUTI ModelsChapter 2: A Classification of LUTI ModelsChapter 3: The Nexus Between Transport and Land Use: AccessibilityChapter 4: Microeconomic Theory of the Interaction Between Transport and Land UseChapter 5: Spatial Interaction ModelsChapter 6: Random Utility Theory and LUTI ModelsChapter 7: Optimisation and LUTI modelsChapter 8: Definition of the Model’s Purpose, the Study Area and the Input DataChapter 9: Models for Simulating the Location of Population and ActivitiesChapter 10: Models for Simulating the Impact of Accessibility on Real Estate PricesChapter 11: Models for Simulating the Transport SystemChapter 12: Spatial Dependence in LUTI ModelsChapter 13: Practical Application of a LUTI Model

Used by training establishments around the world, this best seller is the only reference to both shipboard practice and ship operations that seafarers will need.Trade ReviewCaptain Robert Hone - Plymouth University School of Marine Science and EngineeringWhat are the strengths of the current edition?Very good comprehensive coverage of wide range of subjects.Excellent colour photographsEasy to understand diagrams – also in colour.Good notes in marginWith regards to the content of the book in a new edition, which topics need to be updated or added to? Does anything need to be removed? A good "Mix" of Seamanship topics – hard to identify a thread – the book could be reduced into two volumes...but would this help? Its good to have eclectic range.Does it need the Rule of the road section? –this covered in several other books.Mark Shiner (and team) - Head of Maritime Studies, Orkney CollegeWhat are the strengths of the current edition?As always this is an excellent reference work. Traditionally laid out and very easy to access. I have compared it with Witherby’s new book "21st Century Seamanship" and House is, in many respects, far better. The Wetherby book tries too hard, misjudges the depth needed in such a compendium work and leaves you thinking you have only had a taster. House goes that little bit deeper and seems to give confidence via its written style. You feel that you are getting paired down, solid seamanship with House’s book. With regards to the content of the book in a new edition, which topics need to be updated or added to? Does anything need to be removed? Add/expand:Dynamic Positioning.Alternatively fuelled vessels such as LNG,CNG and Hydrogen.Human Element Limitations and Management issues.Remove or annex:Aspects of seamanship which are no longer used or permitted.Table of ContentsPreface to the First Edition.

MIT Press Ltd Shifting Gears
Book SynopsisAn expertly woven history and critique of the ideas shaping transportation in the United States.Excruciating traffic jams. Struggling transit agencies. An epidemic of pedestrian fatalities. It is clear that transportation is not working in the United States and that we need to rethink our approach. In Shifting Gears, Susan Handy provides an in-depth history of the ideas embedded in American transportation policy and the emergence of new ways of thinking that could give us better transportation options. Weaving in bits of her own personal narrative, Handy gives readers a deeper and clearer understanding of our transportation system and the roots of its successes and failures.Handy covers the myriad costs of car ownership, the futility of expanding highways, and the misplaced faith in technological innovation. She offers new ideas and strategies that can improve the health of our car-centric transportation system—most crucially, the idea that communities across the country must create an array of choices for daily travel. Shifting Gears asserts that a diverse transportation ecosystem is essential for creating more just, sustainable communities, but getting there will take a dramatic shift in how we think about transportation.
