Fluid Dynamics / Energy Engineering Physical Oceanography A Mathematical Introduction with MATLAB®
Essentials of Computational Fluid Dynamics Jens-Dominik Mueller
Reza Malek-Madani
Queen Mary University of London, UK
U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, USA
Accessible to advanced undergraduate students, this text demonstrates how to use the basic tenets of multivariate calculus to derive the governing equations of fluid dynamics in a rotating frame. It also explains how to use linear algebra and PDEs to solve basic initial-boundary value problems that have become the hallmark of physical oceanography. The book makes the most of MATLAB®’s matrix algebraic functions, differential equation solvers, and visualization capabilities, and includes chapter projects that incorporate MATLAB programming.
This book approaches the material from the viewpoint of a user of a commercial flow package. It limits the description of the mathematics to the level that is strictly needed to make the correct choices when setting up a case in a commercial flow solver. The sources of errors in FD solutions are discussed using simple examples with finite differences, and then are demonstrated with mesh convergence studies. The text focuses on the understanding of how the flow physics interact with a typical finite-volume discretization.

It includes a solutions manual (print and electronic), full PowerPoint/Keynote slides, PDF-based presentations for students, worksheets (detailed examples to distribute to students), and video examples.
This textbook on engineering system instrumentation emphasizes sensors, transducers, actuators, and devices for component interconnection. It deals with “instrumenting” an engineering system through the incorporation of suitable sensors, actuators, and associated interface hardware. In view of the practical considerations, design issues, and industrial techniques that are presented throughout the book, and in view of the simplified and snap-shot style presentation of more advanced theory and concepts, the book also serves as a useful reference for practicing professionals in industry and in research laboratories.

System Dynamics and Control with Bond Graph Modeling
Ramin S. Esfandiari
Javier A. 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 abovementioned elements. It provides different aspects of traditional literature, for example several frameworks like BSC Balanced Scorecard, Multicriteria framework, and Neely Prism. It 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.

There is almost nothing in a car that cannot be described from a chemical perspective, thereby making cars an untapped pedagogical resource for the study of chemistry. This book is suitable as an introductory course or capstone project and provides a thorough, although not exhaustive, presentation of chemistry in relation to cars. Topics include the ideal gas law, materials chemistry, thermochemistry, solution chemistry, mass transport, polymerization, light/matter interactions, and oxidation/reduction. A Twitter account and a blog allow students to interact with authors and other experts.
Series: What Every Engineer Should Know
Written by a renowned engineer and widely published technical author, this guide enables students to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Complementing the traditional writer’s reference manuals and other books on technical writing, it helps students understand the practical considerations in writing technical content. Drawing on his work, the author presents many first-hand examples of writing, editing, and publishing technical materials. These examples illustrate how a publication originated as well as various challenges and solutions. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781439820858 Print ISBN: 978-1-4398-2085-8 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4398-9213-8 July 2011, 6-1/4 x 9-1/4, 250 pp, Soft Cover Suggested Price: $45.95 / £28.99

Engineering Speaking by Design Delivering Technical Presentations with Real Impact Edward J. Rothwell and Michael J. Cloud Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA
Modern plants require operators and engineers to have thorough knowledge of instrumentation hardware as well as good operating skills. Chemical engineers need to know about the appropriate use of both control hardware and software and must be able to select/write computer programs that interface the hardware and software to run a plant effectively. This book provides an integrated introduction to the hardware and software of automatic control systems. It solves problems from the GATE examination and provides explanations for each solution.
This unique book is conceptually organized around the engineering design process. It demonstrates how to apply this process to formal oral technical presentations. Providing clear and concise instruction supported by illustrative examples, the text explains how to avoid logical fallacies (both formal and informal), use physical reasoning to catch mistakes in claims, master the essentials of presentation style, conquer the elements of mathematical exposition, and forge a connection with the audience. Each chapter ends with a convenient checklist, bulleted summary, and set of exercises.

This text is designed for a two-semester introductory course in statistics for students majoring in engineering or any of the physical sciences. Inevitably, once these students graduate and are employed, they will be involved in the collection and analysis of data and will be required to think critically about the results. Consequently, they need to acquire knowledge of the basic concepts of data description and statistical inference and familiarity with statistical methods they are required to use on the job. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781498728850 Print ISBN: 978-1-4987-2885-0 November 2015, 8 x 10, 1136 pp Suggested Price: $119.95 / £50.99

For students embarking on their first research project, sieving through the vast amount of information on the Internet can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Research projects require not just understanding of the research methodology, but also complementary skills including information search, technical writing, oral presentation, and software knowledge. This book is written especially for students who need a quick and concise handbook to support them in conducting research so that they can devote most of their time to the research itself. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781482238778 Print ISBN: 978-1-4822-3877-8 August 2015, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 253 pp, Soft Cover Suggested Price: $39.95 / £25.99
Written English A Guide for Electrical and Electronic Students and Engineers Steve Hart Academic Proof Reader, Bath, UK
Part one is comprised of brief chapters on areas of English grammar that feature heavily in engineering and that cause the most problems for second-language learners. The second part looks at formatting and working with numbers and diagrams. The third part constitutes an A-Z list of commonly confused terms and misused words. All entries contain terms of a similar nature for comparison and example errors alongside the correct usage. The book’s unique characteristic is the fact that every entry is a real-world example. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781498739627 Print ISBN: 978-1-4987-3962-7 November 2015, 5-1/4 x 7-3/4, Soft Cover Suggested Price: $39.95 / £25.99
