Fundamentals of Air Pollution Engineering.pdf

November 6, 2009 · Filed Under Environmental Engineering · Comment  · Tags: , , , ,

Taken from Preface: Analysis and abatement of air pollution involve a variety of technical disciplines. Formation of the most prevalent pollutants occurs during the combustion process, a tightly coupled system involving fluid flow, mass and energy transport, and chemical kinetics. Its complexity is exemplified by the fact that, in many respects, the simplest hydrocarbon combustion, the methane-oxygen flame, has been quantitatively modeled only within the last several years. Nonetheless, the development of combustion modifications aimed at minimizing the formation of the unwanted by-products of burning fuels requires an understanding of the combustion process. Fuel may be available in solid, liquid, or gaseous form; it may be mixed with the air ahead of time or only within the combustion chamber; the chamber itself may vary from the piston and cylinder arrangement in an automobile engine to a lO-story-high boiler in the largest power plant; the unwanted byproducts may remain as gases, or they may, upon cooling, form small particles.

Chemical Principles - Third Edition.pdf

Taken from PREFACE: This edition of Chemical Principles, like its predecessors, is designed to be used in a general university chemistry course which must provide both an overview of chemistry for nonspecialists and a sound foundation for later study for science or chemistry majors. Hence there are several survey chapters introducing different areas of chemistry, including inorganic, nuclear, organic, and biochemistry, and an attempt is made throughout the book to place chemistry in its historical and cultural setting. At the same time, the quantitative aspects of chemistry are presented in a manner consistent with their importance, in a way that will make it easy to build upon them in later courses. This is the first complete revision of Chemical Principles since the first edition was published in 1969. The authors have rethought and replanned the entire book, especially the first thirteen chapters, trying to make it a better pedagogical tool without losing the special viewpoints and flavor that made the earlier editions so successful. The history and the anecdotal asides that help to make the subject palatable have been retained, but they have been better segregated from the factual material for which a student will be held responsible.

Evolution of Physical Oceanography.pdf

Taken from Introduction: We have tried to tie the individual chapters together in a variety of ways. The book includes a general index of subjects and names, and also a reference list that gives the page number for each citation in the text. We hope that these features will make possible a rapid’ entry into the book by anyone seeking a discussion of a particular piece of work. Special care was taken in compiling the reference list to correct many common miscitations, some of which extend back nearly 100 years. The reader will notice overlap between chapters and even some dispute among them. We regard this as inevitable and healthy in a field undergoing the ferment of active progress. A consequence of this activity is that we did not attempt to impose a common notation upon the book, but we did ask the authors to avoid idiosyncratic schemes.
In the context of the question to the authors posed above, we are impressed in reading these chapters with how far we have come. When Henry Stommel entered physical oceanography in the early 1940s, the three authors of The Oceans, H. U. Sverdrup, Martin W.
Johnson, and Richard H. Fleming, could cover authoritatively, in one volume, the entirety of oceanography-physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. Today no single volume could cover one of these fields, and probably no three authors would have the temerity to attempt comprehensive descriptions of any. But we believe that the reader will find here a broad description of the present state and the historical evolution of physical oceanography.

Introduction to Plasma Physics: A graduate level course.pdf

August 5, 2008 · Filed Under Physics · 1 Comment  · Tags: ,

Plasmas resulting from ionization of neutral gases generally contain equal numbers of positive and negative charge carriers. In this situation, the oppositely charged fluids are strongly coupled, and tend to electrically neutralize one another on macroscopic length-scales. Such plasmas are termed quasi-neutral (”quasi” because the small deviations from exact neutrality have important dynamical consequences for certain types of plasma mode). Strongly non-neutral plasmas, which may even contain charges of only one sign, occur primarily in laboratory experiments: their equilibrium depends on the existence of intense magnetic fields, about which the charged fluid rotates.
