Long established as a definitive engineering guide, this classic volume has now been extensively revised and updated to provide you with simplified, easy-to-understand information on how to fabricate, purchase, test, and inspect pressure vessels. The new edition clearly explains how to meet performance goals and current ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements in the most cost-effective manner possible.

Comprehensive approach to scientific principles and methods that underlie the cause, detection, measurement and prevention of many metal corrosion problems engineering practices.

Featuring methods applicable to designs in the aerospace, automotive, heating, refrigeration, and process industries, Webb gives you methods and techniques of engineering and design that enhance the heat transfer characteristics of in-service heat exchangers as well as new designs.
Let Webb show you how to use the fundamental theory of heat transfer physics to model the flow and heat transfer associated with surfaces modified to improve performance. He includes a wealth of design data and lucid examples that clearly demonstrate how to use design equations and compare performance of competing designs

This guide gives process engineers a basic understanding of the principles and techniques of safety and loss prevention. Its message is that safety should be considered at the design stage of every project; this makes plant development cheaper and safer.
Safety issues during the four major phases of plant are covered: conceptual design, detailed design, start-up and operation.

Phadke was trained in robust design techniques by Genichi Taguchi, the mastermind behind Japanese quality manufacturing technologies and the father of Japanese quality control. This book offers a complete blueprint for structuring projects to achieve rapid completion with high engineering productivity during the research and development phase to ensure that high quality products can be made quickly and at the lowest possible cost. Some topics covered are: orthogonal arrays, how to construct orthogonal arrays, computer-aided robust design techniques, dynamic systems design methods, and more.

This comprehensive two volume series provides a wealth of information, procedures, tests and illustrations helping engineers analyze time-to-failure data to ensure greater reliability in the products they design. Volume 1 delivers must-have information on a variety of distributions including Chi-Square, Exponential, Normal, Lognormal, Weibull, Gamma, and others. Coverage goes on to include vital testing methods and procedures such as tests of comparison for the Weibull Distribution, a step-by-step method for goodness-of-fit analysis, sudden death testing, and more. An ideal reference for reliability, product assurance, and test engineers.

This book offers a fascinating look at more than 2,000 years of robot history and development and provides a technical guide to the design and structure of anthrobots and their component parts. It explores the development and increasing complexity of robot designs and points out the advantages and disadvantages of various design approaches for robot arms, hands, wrists, and legs.

This new-and expanded-edition of the popular text includes additional topics such as rocket exhaust plumes; selection of rocket propulsion systems; and safety issues. Previous chapters have been fully updated and the sections on hybrids and thrust vector control are now fully detailed, separate chapters.

Describes the rotordynamic considerations that are important to the successful design or troubleshooting of a turbomachine. Shows how bearing design fluid seals, and rotor geometry affect rotordynamic behavior (vibration, shaft whirling, bearing loads, and critical speeds), and describes two successful computational methods for rotordynamic analysis in terms that can be understood by practicing engineers. Gives descriptive accounts of the state of the art in several areas of the field and presents important mathematical or computational concepts, describing equations and formulas in physical terms for better understanding.

This book is a collection of straightforward common sense techniques that provide quick solutions to your engineering problems. There are sixteen chapters packed with design criteria and practical tips. This easy to read guide presents valuable information on heat transfer, thermodynamics, seals, pumps, and compressors, drivers, gears, bearings, and piping and pressure vessels

This 3 volume set provides new information for a majority of chemicals,including respiratory recommendations, European Data, or RCRA (The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) numbers. Also included, for the first time, will be hazardous biological agents of concern for industry,including updated information on all OSHA, ACGIH, NIOSH, MAK and DOT entries. About 8,000 entries will have their physical data fields updated or added to. CAS numbers have been added to many entries in which they did not appear before. Approximately 1,000 new chemicals have been added, and less useful chemical entries, or chemicals not commonly used, are now only on CD-ROM. This edition contains Department of Transportation Guide numbers starting with NA that are specific to North America and the U.S.A., DOT Cross-index, Department of Transportation Guide Numbers, featured on packaging of hazardous materials, are the same as the Guide numbers of the United Nations.
