Book Description
Pressure Systems Casebook contains a collection of papers drawn from two IMechE seminars that will be of particular interest to students and engineers who want to broaden their knowledge and learn from experience and history. The authors' backgrounds cover a range of perspectives, from representing industrial users of pressure systems to regulators, research, and engineering consultants. Complete contents: Lessons from failures of gas cylinders used for dispensing beverages Experience from Health and Safety laboratory investigations Insurance aspects of pressure systems failures Failure investigation for commercial purposes - system failures leading to the collapse of storage vessels under partial vacuum Reliable technical failure investigation Failure design procedures in the new European Pressure Vessel Standard EN 13445 Causes of vibration fatigue in process pipework - a new methodology to assess the risk Avoiding vibration-induced fatigue failures in process pipework Lessons learned from pressure system failures Pressure systems contain stored energy and the threat of damaging failure is ever present. Failures of pressure systems still occur and are costly to those affected; yet the main causes, consequences, and methods of investigation are not widely known. Pre-existing defects are a major cause of failures and near-failures in pressure systems, yet many can be avoided by greater awareness of the circumstances in which they arise.

Book Description
This valuable text gives previously unreported experience in the design, operation and maintenance of pressure sewers. Economic advantages of the pressure sewer system allow development of previously undeveloped areas-making central sewer extension more affordable for both municipalities and developers. Pressure systems make central sewers available where on-site disposal may prove undesirable. Of interest to a broad spectrum of professionals, this new book will prove valuable to consulting engineers, municipalities, sewer districts, sanitary engineers, pump and equipment manufacturers, and developers.

Book Description
Providing in-depth guidance on how to design and rate emergency pressure relief systems, Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems incorporates the current best designs from the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems as well as American Petroleum Institute (API) standards. Presenting a methodology that helps properly size all the components in a pressure relief system, the book includes software with the CCFlow suite of design tools and the new Superchems for DIERS Lite software, making this an essential resource for engineers designing chemical plants, refineries, and similar facilities. Access to Software Access the Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Software and documents using a web browser at: http://www.aiche.org/ccps/PRTools Each folder will have a readme file and installation instructions for the program. After downloading SuperChemsTM for DIERS Lite the purchaser of this book must contact the AIChE Customer Service with the numeric code supplied within the book. The purchaser will then be supplied with a license code to be able to install and run SuperChemsTM for DIERS Lite. Only one license per purchaser will be issued.

Book Description
Global Change and the Earth System describes what is known about the Earth system and the impact of changes caused by humans. It considers the consequences of these changes with respect to the stability of the Earth system and the well-being of humankind; as well as exploring future paths towards Earth-system science in support of global sustainability. The results presented here are based on 10 years of research on global change by many of the world's most eminent scholars. This valuable volume achieves a new level of integration and interdisciplinarity in treating global change.

Book Description
Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC)systems are omnipresent in modern buildings. This book is an introduction to all those involved in the specification, design, manufacture, installation, operation or maintainance of these systems. The book explains: • The objectives to be achieved by a system in terms of environmental control. • The description of a system - including primary equipment, means of distribution, space and load determination, and operating strategy. • The basic function of components that form HVAC systems. • The layout and functioning of common HVAC systems, including all-air systems, air-water systems, and all-water systems. • The strategies for operating systems and their basic means of control. • Identifying the most suitable type of system for different types of application. * Air-conditioning is a major growth industry, this introduction to how systems operate and how to select, design and operate them effectively * Endorsed by, and developed with ASHRAE, the leading trade body and recognised technical experts * Provides a thorough introduction to how HVAC systems function in controlling temperature, air quality, and air circulation in a controlled space.
