Surrounded by physics - R.F. Mudde - eBook (9789065621924)

Surrounded by physics This book is the result of a series of lectures that the author gave during a number of years to fi rst year students in Applied Physics at Delft University of Technology. The idea for such a course started from discussions with our students. They made a plea for an extra physics course in the fi rst year to get a better balance in the math and physics courses. Their wish was granted and the author was asked to prepair a series of lectures with as theme 'Physics of Daily Life'. This idea was of course inspired by the series of books that Prof. Dr. M. Minnaert wrote in the 30s of the 20th century. It should not be a course, that deals with only one of the main theories of physics. On the contrary, the idea was rather to stroll along all kinds of more or less familiar phenomena. By touching on these phenomena, different parts of physics and the accompanying theory would be discussed with the students. Being exposed to phenomena and open questions and…

Numerical Methods in Scientific Computing - A. Segal, F. Vermolen, J. van Kan - eBook (9789065621795)

Numerical Methods in Scientific Computing This is a book about numerically solving partial differential equations occurring in technical and physical contexts and the authors have set themselves a more ambitious target than to just talk about the numerics. The aim is to show the place of numerical solutions in the general modeling process, which must inevitably lead to considerations about modeling itself. Partial differential equations usually are a consequence of applying first principles to a technical or physical problem at hand. That means, that most of the time the physics also have to be taken into account, especially for validation of the numerical solution obtained. This book in other words is especially aimed at engineers and scientists who have 'real world' problems. It will concern itself less with pesky mathematical detail. For the interested reader though, we have included sections on mathematical theory to provide the necessary mathematical background. Contents: 1 …

Electronic instrumentation - P.P.L. Regtien - eBook (9789065622143)

Electronic instrumentation Electronic systems have made deep inroads into every aspect of daily life. One need only look around homes, offices and industrial plants to see that they feature almost everywhere. Indeed, it is practically impossible to name any appliances, tools or instruments that do not contain electronic components. In order to compete with rival companies or just remain a step ahead of them, the designers of technical systems and innovative products must be fully aware of both the assets and the limitations of electronic components and systems. Users of electronic systems also need to have a basic knowledge of electronic principles. In order to fully exploit an instrument's potential, to be aware of its limitations, to correctly interpret the measurement results and to be able to arrive at well-balanced decisions relating to the purchasing, repairing, expansion or replacement of electronic equipment, all users of such systems also need to have a basic knowledge of …

Transport Phenomena Data Companion - L.P.B.M. Janssen, M.M.C.G. Warmoeskerken - eBook (9789065622259)

Transport phenomena data companion Many of the data needed for calculations in chemical engineering are dispersed over the literature. Moreover, various systems of units are used, often forcing the user to perform tedious conversions before a 'quick' calculation can be started. In this companion the authors have compiled those data that, according to their experience, are used frequently in transport phenomena and related subjects and, since all data are in S.I. units, rapid access to various calculations is facilitated. This book is of course no substitute for a complete literature survey and no compendium on all data available in literature. On many occasions a selection had to be made from a multitude of expressions. For instance, for the mass transfer to bubbles, drops and particles, dozens of correlations are available. In those cases the most general correlation or the expression most commonly used has been chosen. This companion consists of four parts. The first part…

Elements of airplane performance - G.J.J. Ruijgrok - eBook (9789065622044)

Elements of airplane performance, 2nd edition This book contains sixteen chapters and four appendices which form a compre-hensive teaching text on the subject of airplane performance. The fi rst seven chapters are designed to provide necessary background material in mechanics, aerodynamics, atmospheric science, air data instruments, and propulsion. In addi-tion, the appendices furnish basic data and information on the theory pertinent to a clear understanding of the different problems. Chapters 8-13, in particular, treat the point performance of the airplane, i.e., the performance that pertain to given point on the fl ight path. Finally, chapters 14-16 deal with what is known as the integral performance, indicating the performance items which are related to the course of the fl ight. The text is extensively illustrated and includes numerous worked examples. The book is primarily intended to serve as a textbook in undergraduate engineering courses and as an instrument for selfstudy. C…

Gravity does not exist - Vincent Icke - eBook (9789048517053)

Every scientific fact was born as an opinion about the unknown - a hypothesis. Opinion gradually becomes fact as evidence piles up to support a theory. But what if there are two theories, each of which has produced a myriad of things that correspond perfectly to the phenomena but can't be combined into one? One theory replaced the mystery of gravity with a precise model of space and time. The other theory replaced the mystery of matter with a description of quantum particles. As we understand our universe, we keep each in its own domain: space and time for very large things, particles for the very small ones. However, 13.8 billion years ago, those two incompatible domains belonged to a single realm. Who in the current or future generations of physicists will crack this seemingly impossible puzzle? This, contends the author, is not just a big question, but the biggest question in physics in our century. Combining Ickes's first-hand knowledge with a robust argument and intellectual playf…

Dynamic data processing - P.J.G. Teunissen - eBook (9789065622174)

Dynamic data processing This book is a follow-up on Adjustment theory. It extends the theory to the case of time-varying parameters with an emphasis on their recursive determination. Least-squares estimation will be the leading principle used. A least-squares solution is said to be recursive when the method of computation enables sequential, rather than batch, processing of the measurement data. The recursive equations enable the updating of parameter estimates for new observations without the need to store all past observations. Methods of recursive least-squares estimation are therefore particularly useful for applications in which the time-varying parameters need to be instantly determined. Important examples of such applications can be found in the fields of real-time kinematic positioning, navigation and guidance, or multivariate time series analysis. The goal of this book is therefore to convey the necessary knowledge to be able to process sequentially collected measurements …

Mass transfer in multicomponent mixtures - J.A. Wesselingh, R. Krishna - eBook (9789065622242)

Mass Transfer in Multicomponent Mixtures This is a book for chemical engineers. It allows the engineer to calculate how rapidly components in a mixture move with respect to each other. This is important in the designing of equipment such as reactors and separation units. The method covers both traditional and modern equipment, including catalytic and membrane processes. The method is based on a force balance of each species in the mixture. (This in contrast to the Fick equation normally used). It can handle any number of components and considers forces due to gradients of concentration; and of electrical, pressure, centrifugal and other fields. It leads to a unified description of all mass transfer processes: distillation, absorption, electrodialysis, heterogeneous catalysis, chromatography, ultrafiltration and many others. http://www.vssd.nl/hlf/d004.htm

The quiet revolution - eBook (9789088503887)

The all-encompassing welfare state that often suffocates citizens is having its final drink in the last-chance saloon. The introduction of the open market as a possible alternative has not been successful either. People are suppressed by the expanding 'system world', damaging their 'life world'. For that reason the welfare state does not need to be reformed, but replaced. The 'participation state' is the natural successor. In that society - which could also be characterised as 'do-it-yourselves' - people themselves prefer to address and resolve issues affecting their own living conditions on a family and community level. This transition in the western world from 'state power' to people power' implies that governments and non-profit organisations must assume a different position. Both parties must exercise restraint so that, at last, the civil society can show its power. Self-management and self-governance become more and more important. This fundamental shift is occurring in a time of …
