Book Description
Sophomore or junior engineering students will appreciate this in-depth analysis of the fundamentals of thermodynamics. The text notes common student problem areas such as definition of systems boundary, units, processes, work and heat. A review of energy resource consumption shows the importance of energy resources to the economy and emphasizes thermodynamic analysis. The systematic approach to solving thermodynamic problems is supported by numerous chapter-end problems graded in three levels of difficulty. Open-ended design problems are included in chapters 10-15 to reflect the increasing emphasis on the need for design in core courses. Extensive treatment of second law analyses, including energy analysis/energy availability, helps students understand real systems. Explanation of how to maximize energy delivery from chemical reactions presents a solid background in improving the design of reacting systems. Accompanying Thermo-Props software saves students time in looking up values from tables, and help in the analysis of psychmetrics, as well as heating, refrigeration, and air conditioning systems.

La Epidemiología Aplicada a la Medicina Del Trabajo
Author: M. En C. Omar Garfias Rojas
Publisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463341288
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Creo que muchos de los profesionales de la salud, no tienen una comprensión adecuada, acerca de lo que abarca la Medicina del Trabajo y las relaciones que esta tiene con la Epidemiología. Más aún, frecuentemente se encuentra una falta de comunicación entre el médico del trabajo y el epidemiólogo a pesar de su mutuo interés en la salud y la enfermedad de los trabajadores. Además, considero justo decir, que la mayoría de los estudiantes de medicina y de otras ciencias de la salud, consideran a la Medicina del Trabajo y a la Epidemiología, como unidades de aprendizaje aburridas e irrelevantes, las que se estudian únicamente porque se les obliga a ello. Otro punto de vista común, en lo referente a la Epidemiología, es que se le considera altamente matemática y demasiado compleja para entenderla. Con este pensamiento, he intentado escribir un libro de texto conciso, para médicos del trabajo, estudiantes de medicina y otros profesionales de la salud, que pueda explicar los conceptos básicos de la epidemiología de manera clara y sencilla. He tratado de suprimir la brecha existente en la comunicación entre el Médico del Trabajo como clínico y el epidemiólogo, describiendo algunos ejemplos clínicos a través del libro, explicando al Médico del Trabajo, por que es necesario el énfasis epidemiológico sobre el estudio de grupos de trabajadores, mas que de individuos.

Maxwell's Demon
Author: Harvey S. Leff
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400861527
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
About 120 years ago, James Clerk Maxwell introduced his now legendary hypothetical "demon" as a challenge to the integrity of the second law of thermodynamics. Fascination with the demon persisted throughout the development of statistical and quantum physics, information theory, and computer science--and linkages have been established between Maxwell's demon and each of these disciplines. The demon's seductive quality makes it appealing to physical scientists, engineers, computer scientists, biologists, psychologists, and historians and philosophers of science. Until now its important source material has been scattered throughout diverse journals. This book brings under one cover twenty-five reprints, including seminal works by Maxwell and William Thomson; historical reviews by Martin Klein, Edward Daub, and Peter Heimann; information theoretic contributions by Leo Szilard, Leon Brillouin, Dennis Gabor, and Jerome Rothstein; and innovations by Rolf Landauer and Charles Bennett illustrating linkages with the limits of computation. An introductory chapter summarizes the demon's life, from Maxwell's illustration of the second law's statistical nature to the most recent "exorcism" of the demon based on a need periodically to erase its memory. An annotated chronological bibliography is included. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
