Electronic Principles
Albert Paul Malvino - 1979
It's been updated to keep coverage in step with the fast-changing world of electronics. Yet, it retains Malvino's clear writing style, supported throughout by abundant illustrations and examples.
Microelectronics
Jacob Millman - 1979
With pedagogical use of second color, it covers devices in one place so that circuit characteristics are developed early.
Applied Fluid Mechanics
Robert L. Mott - 1979
The most popular applications-oriented approach to engineering technology fluid mechanics, this text covers all of the basic principles of fluid mechanics-both statics and dynamics-in a clear, practical presentation that ties theory directly to real devices and systems used in chemical process industries, manufacturing, plant engineering, waste water handling and product design. Readable and clearly written, the new 6th edition brings a much more attractive appearance to the book and includes many updates and additional features.
The Passive Solar Energy Book: A Complete Guide to Passive Solar Home, Greenhouse, and Building Design
Edward Mazria - 1979
Provides comprehensive information on the design and application of passive solar-energy systems and assesses twenty-seven design patterns that offset a variety of factors influencing the effectiveness of solar heating.
Robert Maillart's Bridges: The Art of Engineering
David P. Billington - 1979
The description for this book, Robert Maillart's Bridges: The Art of Engineering, will be forthcoming.
Principles of Energy Conversion
Archie W. Culp - 1979
While covering all aspects of energy conversion,the book concentrates on the power area-introducing readers to the important power system terminology. The book stresses energy-conversion,processes and systems that are currently being used to supply energy for the world economy,but does not neglect other important energy-conversion systems. While some of the actual systems are discussed,the book emphasizes the theory of how energy is released so as not to limit the reader to a particular system. Information on recent developments such as combustion of biomass,the emergence of cold fusion,the use of solar salt ponds,reactor accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl,are added to this edition. In addition,some of the original topics such as economics,solar energy,and power cycles,are expanded and updated.
Engineering Drawing And Design
Cecil Howard Jensen - 1979
It offers the most comprehensive program available.
Principles of Digital Communication and Coding
Andrew J. Viterbi - 1979
Its treatment is geared toward advanced students of communications theory and to designers of channels, links, terminals, modems, or networks used to transmit and receive digital messages.The three-part approach begins with the fundamentals of digital communication and block coding, including an analysis of block code ensemble performance. The second part introduces convolutional coding, exploring ensemble performance and sequential decoding. The final section addresses source coding and rate distortion theory, examining fundamental concepts for memoryless sources as well as precepts related to memory, Gaussian sources, and universal coding. Appendixes of useful information appear throughout the text, and each chapter concludes with a set of problems, the solutions to which are available online.
Groundwater
R. Allan Freeze - 1979
Provides quantitative methods of calculation in groundwater hydrology. Contains sections on transport processes, ground water contamination, well hydraulics, and aquifer yield including analog and numerical modeling. Covers mathematical derivations in appendices. "
Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery
Sydney Lawrence Dixon - 1979
For readers looking towards the wider reaches of the subject area, very useful additional reading is referenced in the bibliography. The subject of Turbomachinery is in continual review, and while the basics do not change, research can lead to refinements in popular methods, and new data can emerge. This book has applications for professionals and students in many subsets of the mechanical engineering discipline, with carryover into thermal sciences; which include fluid mechanics, combustion and heat transfer; dynamics and vibrations, as well as structural mechanics and materials engineering.
Aerodynamics for Engineers
John J. Bertin - 1979
This text presents a background discussion of each topic followed by a presentation of the theory.
