Elements of Thermal-Fluid System Design
Compact enough to leave ample time for design projects, it focuses on thermal-fluid systems (rather than on components of systems), and features a chapter-long example of a major design project with diverse features. Provides a compact presentation of design -- focusing on thermal-fluid systems -- to allow ample time to be devoted to a major design project. This book includes an introductory chapter on stimulating the design process, organizing and managing a design team, and reporting the design itself. Discusses important financial and economic concepts, reminding designers to keep an eye on component cost and financial considerations in their design. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461512623

Control Systems Engineering
Motivate Students with Real-World Control Systems Emphasizing the practical application of control systems engineering, this 3rd edition with its updated contents will motivate students to learn how to analyze and design feedback control systems that support today's advanced technology. Motivation is obtained through clear and complete explanations of how to design real-world systems. Topics are presented in a logical and progressive way that builds and supports understanding. Whenever possible, new concepts are first presented from a qualitative perspective to help students gain the insight needed to develop sound designs. Next, a detailed discussion of quantitative tools gives readers the ability to design parameters and configurations for systems they will encounter during their career. And with the use of MATLAB(r), students will find out how to apply the latest computer methods to the analysis and design of control systems. Key Features of the Third Edition * Case studies, using the same system progressively, are integrated throughout the text to provide students with a realistic view of every stage of the control system design process. * A methodology with clearly defined steps is presented for every type of design problem. * Numerous in-chapter examples and skill-assessment exercises, as well as end-of-chapter review questions and problems, including a progressive analysis and design problem that uses the same system, are provided. * An introduction to state-space methods of analysis and design is included. These sections are clearly marked and can be taught along with classical methods, taught separately, or skipped without loss of continuity. * Tutorials are provided on how to use MATLAB(r), the Control System Toolbox, Simulink(r), and the Symbolic Math Toolbox to analyze and design control systems. Also included are tutorials on how to use two MATLAB(r) graphical user interface (GUI) design and analysis tools - the LTI Viewer and the Root Locus Design GUI. All tutorials and MATLAB(r) code are contained in the text's appendices so as not to detract from the teverying of control systems engineering principles. References to these appendices are provided at appropriate places in the text. * An accompanying CD-ROM provides valuable additional material, such as stand-alone computer applications, electronic files of the text's computer programs for use with MATLAB(r), additional appendices, and solutions to skill-assessment exercises. * Illustrations from the book in the form of electronic files are available at http://www.wiley.com/college/nise - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461410970

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove
Reading Guide Introduction The town psychiatrist has decided to switch everybody in Pine Cove, California, from their usual antidepressants to placebos, so naturally -- well, to be accurate, artificially -- business is booming at the local blues bar. Trouble is, those lonely slide-guitar notes have also attracted a colossal sea beast named Steve with a, shall we say, thing for explosive oil tanker trucks. Suddenly morose Pine Cove turns libidinous, is hit by a mysterious crime wave, and a beleaguered constable has to fight off his own gonzo appetites to find out what's wrong and what, if anything, to do about it. Topics for Discussion In Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, more than a third of the people in town are taking antidepressants, and many of those who aren't have their own medicine for melancholy. Does anything ring true about this? Do you think Dr. Val Riordan's decision to take her patients off of antidepressants was correct? Are we too eager to engineer our moods by the use of drugs? Both Mavis Sand, the bartender, and Catfish Jefferson the blues singer, talk about the value of sadness. Is there a real value to sadness in human experience? Are the blues an expression, a celebration, or a cure for sadness? Molly Michon is a has-been, Theo Crowe is a never was-which is harder to be? What does the author seem to be saying about expectations by his portrayal of these two characters? Steve, the sea monster, seems to appeal to that part of the human mind that is left over from the reptiles. Do you believe that we have evolved past being ruled by our instincts, or is our culture just a means to obtain our basic desires? What do you think the religious feelings in Steve's followers in the cave say about our animal nature? Estelle has used her art to escape from the sadness of the death of her husband and her frustration as a teveryer. What is it about the old blues singer that attracts her? Does romance have an age limit? About the author Christopher Moore is the author of Fluke, Lamb, Practical Demonkeeping, Coyote Blue, Bloodsucking Fiends, Island of the Sequined Love Nun, and The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove. - Books Reading - New - 460681781
