Aerospace Engineering Systems Engineering and Architecting Creating Formal Requirements Laurence Bellagamba TASC, California, USA

This book presents a set of formal requirements—explicit, executable instructions— for systems engineering and architecting. Written in Mathematica®, the requirements provide tools to help systems engineers and architects accomplish key tasks better, faster, and cheaper. Chapters open with realworld case studies and illustrate using formal requirements to accomplish four key activities: model system behavior, make decisions, establish natural language requirements, and improve processes. Each chapter ends with heuristics that serve as guiding principles for doing systems engineering and architecting.

Knowledge of heat and fluid flow through porous media finds extensive applications in several engineering devices spanning four major divisions: mechanical, civil, chemical, and bioengineering. This textbook fills the knowledge gap between available research monographs in porous media and basic thermo-fluids courses required to understand such monographs. Coverage includes fluid flow, conduction, convection, and radiation in porous media as well as porous medium aspects of biological systems.

The book includes end-of-chapter problems and an appendix of useful convection correlations.

With major implications for applied physics, engineering, and the natural and social sciences, the rapidly growing area of environmental fluid dynamics focuses on the interactions of human activities, environment, and fluid motion. This two-volume handbook presents the basic principles, fundamental flow processes, modeling techniques, and measurement methods used in the field, along with critical discussions of environmental sustainability related to engineering aspects. The first volume provides an overview of the fundamentals, and the second volume explores the interactions between engineered structures and natural flows.

Series: Dekker Mechanical Engineering

Series: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Series

This volume presents general tools and procedures for performing home weatherization such as insulation improvements as well as methods to reduce air leakage. The author describes several techniques and technologies that can reduce energy use or operating costs, including methods to retrofit existing homes to be net-zero energy buildings. Each chapter contains simplified calculation methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of various efficiency measures. The final chapter offers a series of case studies including examples of weatherized homes.

This second edition explores the major improvements in recent years to many chiller and cooling tower components that have resulted in improved performance and lower operating costs. It looks at how climate change and "green" designs have significantly impacted the selection of refrigerants and the application of chilled water systems. This edition also discusses the expanded use of digital controls and variable frequency drives as well as the re-introduction of some older technologies. The book includes extensive checklists, design and troubleshooting guidelines, and reference data.
