Biothermodynamics Principles and Applications Mustafa Ozilgen and Esra Sorguven Oner Yeditepe University, Istanbul, Turkey
Taking an accessible, straightforward, and cohesive approach, this book exposes readers to the "big picture" of thermodynamics, and its streamlined presentation allows glimpses into important concepts and methods rarely offered by texts at this level. This edition includes a new chapter on thermodynamic property relations and every chapter has updated, expanded problem sets. The author has developed a unique, practical guide to classical thermodynamics that can be used for reference or for a one-semester course.
Over the past decades there has been increasing interest in thermodynamics as applied to biological systems. This concerns topics such as muscle work and internal energy such as fat and starch. Applications of the first and second laws of thermodynamics to the human body are important to dieticians and health science experts, and applications to the animal body are a concern of animal scientists. This book covers these topics, which are typically not covered in classic or traditional thermodynamics texts in mechanical and chemical engineering.

Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey, USA
University of Adelaide, Australia
This modern study of engineering dynamics covers an array of topics, from basic principles to two- and threedimensional motion, general kinematics and kinetics, analytical mechanics, vehicle motion, vibration response, and stability. By including examples from everyday life—such as sports and the motion of balls in the air or during impact—the book makes concepts relatable and accessible. However, no effort is made to reduce rigor, as the text provides thorough coverage of Lagrange’s and Kane’s equations as well as the response of dynamical systems.
The practice of engineering noise control demands a solid understanding of the fundamentals of acoustics, the practical application of current noise control technology, and the underlying theoretical concepts. This edition provides an explanation of these key areas clearly, yet without oversimplification. The practical focus echoes advances in the discipline reflected in the book’s material, including updated coverage of sound transmission loss, mufflers, and exhaust stack directivity; a new chapter on practical numerical acoustics; and thorough explanation of the latest instruments for measurements and analysis.

Numerical Methods for Engineers and Scientists Using MATLAB®
System Dynamics and Control with Bond Graph Modeling
Ramin S. Esfandiari
Javier Kypuros
California State University, Long Beach, USA
University of Texas, Edinburg, USA
This book addresses issues and challenges of performance measurement in the maintenance function. It presents a proposal of indicators with a framework that classifies and sorts regarding functional and hierarchical aspects, identifying the contribution of each of three above-mentioned elements. It provides different aspects of traditional literature. It also examines an adaptation of these frameworks and hierarchies for the use of indicators and benchmark values to allow quantification, comparison and emission of recommendations.
This textbook treats system dynamics from a bond graph perspective. It guides students from the process of modeling using bond graphs, through dynamic systems analysis in the time and frequency domains, to classical and state-space controller design. Although established texts exist for system dynamics, bond graph modeling, and automatic controls, this book combines the three into a cohesive text optimized for upper-level undergraduates. It serves as a reference for practicing engineers and a textbook for system dynamics and controls courses that use bond graphs.
