Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Move from an identified production need to a coherent, operable facility. This handbook explains how requirements become a documented basis, how that basis becomes a flowsheet, how balances and physical properties become duties, and how those duties become specifications for real machinery and supporting systems.The opening chapters establish requirements, operating cases, units, margins, documentation, project stages, interface ownership, review gates and change control. Readers learn how grassroots construction, replacement, expansion, revamping and debottlenecking differ in scope, uncertainty and execution.Flowsheet chapters develop block diagrams, flow diagrams and piping and instrumentation information. Recycle, purge, bypass, batch and continuous operation, route selection, separation order, pressure levels and energy use are treated as connected decisions rather than isolated drafting tasks.Calculation foundations cover material and energy balances, thermodynamics, phase behavior, property methods, reaction stoichiometry, conversion, yield, equilibrium, fluid flow, pressure loss, heat transfer and mass transfer. Simulation chapters address model selection, convergence, validation, sensitivity studies and calculation records that another engineer can inspect.The distinction between preliminary estimates, specification duties, vendor guarantees and mechanical code requirements remains clear throughout. Readers learn why a technically correct equation can still produce a poor result when its assumptions, property data or operating case are unsuitable.Facility-wide chapters integrate utilities, instrumentation, control philosophy, construction materials, corrosion, relief and disposal arrangements, hazard review, environmental controls, plot planning, maintainability, operability and reliability. Margins are treated as deliberate decisions so that hidden conservatism is not compounded across several disciplines.Major machinery and unit operations receive dedicated coverage, including vessels, storage tanks, mixers, reactors, heat exchangers, evaporators, dryers, distillation columns, absorbers, extractors, adsorbers, membrane units, filters, centrifuges, crystallizers, solids-handling systems, piping, pumps, compressors, blowers and valves.Cost-estimation chapters connect capital expenditure, operating costs, profitability, uncertainty and project evaluation. Revamp cases examine existing constraints, incomplete records, tie-ins, shutdown limitations, retained assets and the consequences of changing one part of an operating facility.Worked examples connect equations to specifications and show how one decision propagates through utilities, controls, piping, layout and cost. Practice problems, integrated cases, review points, checklists and traceability methods reinforce unit discipline, assumption tracking and communication across technical interfaces.Readers will learn how to: Convert requirements into a controlled basis and flowsheetApply balances, properties, thermodynamics and simulationEvaluate fluid flow, pressure loss and transfer dutiesDevelop specifications for major unit operationsIntegrate utilities, controls, materials and relief arrangementsCompare alternatives using cost and uncertaintyApproach revamps and debottlenecking systematicallyProduce transparent and reviewable calculation recordsWritten for senior students, process engineers, project engineers and practitioners strengthening their judgment, this reference supports preliminary and educational work.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - When an automated machine stops, the alarm is not always the cause.A failed sensor, missing permissive, incorrect feedback signal, drive fault, pressure problem, or communication interruption can stop an entire production process. Replacing the first suspicious component without understanding the complete machine sequence can waste time and leave the underlying problem unresolved.Industrial Automation Troubleshooting Handbook for Maintenance Technicians provides a structured approach to locating faults across interconnected electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and control systems.Rather than treating each component in isolation, this handbook shows how to follow a machine's functional chain, interpret available evidence, develop testable fault hypotheses, and verify the source of a malfunction before making corrective changes.Inside, you will explore: - Systematic methods for turning vague fault reports into clear diagnostic questions.- Machine states, permissives, interlocks, trips, and control sequences.- Electrical drawings, control power, sensors, actuators, and signal tracing.- PLC inputs and outputs, HMI indications, motors, and variable-speed drives.- Pneumatic and hydraulic faults affecting machine movement and performance.- Industrial communication problems and intermittent failures.- Root cause analysis, controlled restoration, verification, and maintenance documentation.Practical diagnostic workflows, checklists, comparison tables, and decision points help connect technical knowledge to real maintenance situations.Written for industrial maintenance technicians, electricians, controls technicians, mechanics, apprentices, commissioning personnel, and technical trainers, this handbook is designed to support clearer fault isolation and more consistent maintenance decisions.Move beyond trial-and-error repairs. Build a systematic approach to diagnosing machine failures, verifying corrective actions, and restoring dependable operation.Add this handbook to your technical reference library today.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - When a molded part develops a defect, changing one setting may not solve the problem.A short shot, sink mark, flash, burn, or warped component can originate from several interacting conditions. Material moisture, melt temperature, transfer position, packing pressure, cooling, clamp force, and machine performance can produce similar symptoms. Without a structured approach, adjustments that improve one defect may create another.Injection Molding Process Setup and Troubleshooting Handbook provides a practical framework for understanding these interactions, establishing stable processing conditions, identifying defect causes, and maintaining consistent production.Designed for process technicians, mold setters, manufacturing engineers, quality personnel, maintenance teams, and production supervisors, this handbook connects injection molding principles with real shop-floor decisions.Inside, you will learn how to: - Establish reliable machine, mold, material, and measurement baselines.- Understand screw recovery, shot size, cushion, residence time, and plasticating behavior.- Set filling, transfer, packing, cooling, and clamp conditions systematically.- Identify the causes of short shots, flash, sink marks, warpage, burns, splay, and weld lines.- Investigate material drying, contamination, venting, pressure losses, and mold-temperature problems.- Develop practical process windows and evaluate dimensional stability.- Use controlled trials, capability measurements, and production records to reduce variation.- Distinguish machine limitations, material problems, and mold-related faults before changing settings.The handbook also addresses machine architecture, clamp systems, mold protection, ejection, polymer behavior, pressure and velocity control, quality verification, and production documentation.Throughout the book, practical workflows, diagnostic comparisons, checklists, and decision points connect technical principles to everyday manufacturing problems. The emphasis is on understanding cause and effect, preserving a known working baseline, and verifying corrective actions rather than relying on trial and error.Whether you are preparing a new job, investigating recurring defects, improving dimensional consistency, or stabilizing an established production run, this reference provides a structured way to approach the problem.Build more reliable processes, identify defects with greater confidence, and make better-informed production decisions.Add this handbook to your technical library today.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Follow the seismic problem from earthquake source and shaking characteristics through site response, earth failure, structural demand and engineering consequences. This handbook organizes geotechnical earthquake engineering around physical mechanisms, field evidence, uncertainty, performance objectives and defensible decisions rather than isolated formulas.The opening chapters connect seismology, tectonics, rupture, magnitude, recurrence, wave propagation, hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk. Readers learn how deterministic and probabilistic approaches, response spectra, recorded accelerograms, scaling, duration, directivity, near-source effects and uncertainty influence the seismic basis of a project.The book emphasizes that a precise calculation is not the same as a certain prediction. Assumptions, data quality, model limitations and sensitivity must remain visible throughout the evaluation.Site-investigation chapters cover geologic setting, subsurface exploration, sampling, in-situ testing, laboratory testing, groundwater conditions, shear-wave velocity and investigation planning. Dynamic properties, modulus reduction, damping and cyclic behavior are connected to the decisions they are intended to support.Site-response coverage moves from simplified concepts to layered profiles, amplification, deamplification, nonlinear response, model selection, input selection, sensitivity studies and quality checks. Readers learn when a screening method is appropriate and when project-specific analysis is required.Ground-failure chapters address triggering evaluation, cyclic resistance, density and fines effects, pore-pressure generation, post-shaking settlement, lateral spreading, flow failure, bearing-capacity loss, seismic slope stability, permanent displacement and fault-related deformation. Worked examples make assumptions, calculation stages and limitations visible.Design chapters connect seismic demand with shallow and deep foundation systems, retaining structures, embankments, buried infrastructure, waterfront facilities, dams, levees, transitions and soil-structure interaction. The emphasis remains on how deformation, stiffness, strength loss and compatibility influence performance.Ground-improvement coverage explains densification, drainage, reinforcement, replacement, grouting and deep mixing. Alternatives are compared according to the governing mechanism, construction access, verification requirements, environmental constraints, residual risk and intended performance.Integrated cases show how changes in hazard assumptions, groundwater, profile interpretation, material properties or performance targets propagate through the final recommendation. Practice problems, calculation controls and project checklists reinforce disciplined analysis.Readers will learn how to: Connect seismic sources, hazard and site responsePlan investigations around project-specific decisionsSelect and evaluate dynamic material propertiesAssess cyclic resistance, settlement and lateral spreadingEstimate slope deformation and stabilityEvaluate shallow, deep and retaining systemsCompare improvement methods and verification plansCommunicate uncertainty, assumptions and residual risk clearlyWritten for senior students, practicing engineers, reviewers and independent learners, this reference supports study, preliminary evaluation and professional review. Safety-critical projects require current codes, local hazard requirements, verified subsurface information, independent checking and qualified professional responsibility.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Learn to analyze choices, markets, prices, firms and public policy without merely memorizing definitions and graphs. This handbook develops the reasoning habits that make microeconomics useful: recognizing constraints, comparing alternatives, measuring opportunity cost, thinking at the margin, tracing incentives, testing assumptions and separating factual analysis from value judgments.The opening chapters introduce scarcity, feasible choices, production possibilities, specialization, comparative advantage, exchange and economic systems. Readers learn how individuals and societies allocate limited resources among competing uses and why every decision involves a trade-off.Demand and supply are developed carefully by distinguishing movements along curves from shifts, individual behavior from total outcomes, equilibrium from disequilibrium and immediate responses from long-run adjustment. Graphs, equations and written explanations reinforce one another so readers can interpret a model rather than simply reproduce it.Elasticity chapters explain responsiveness, revenue effects, tax incidence and the importance of time horizon and available substitutes. Consumer-choice chapters connect preferences, utility, budget constraints, substitution, income effects and behavioral evidence. Readers learn how economic models organize decisions while recognizing where simplified assumptions may fail.Welfare analysis develops consumer and producer surplus, efficiency, equity and deadweight loss. These ideas are then applied to taxes, subsidies, price controls, quotas, externalities, public goods, common resources and information problems.The production chapters connect technology, inputs, productivity, costs, revenue, shutdown decisions, entry, exit and long-run adjustment. Separate treatments of competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition and oligopoly show how industry structure changes output, pricing power, strategic behavior and social outcomes.Later chapters apply the analytical framework to employment, wages, discrimination, inequality, poverty, international trade, environmental decisions, risk, uncertainty, asymmetric information and behavioral departures from simple rational-choice assumptions.Worked examples demonstrate the complete reasoning behind graphical, numerical and written solutions. Practice problems and selected explanations help readers identify recurring mistakes involving causation, counterfactual reasoning, percentages, slopes, averages and marginal decisions.Readers will learn how to: Analyze scarcity, incentives, trade-offs and marginal choicesInterpret demand, supply, equilibrium and elasticityConnect responsiveness with revenue and tax incidenceApply surplus, efficiency and deadweight-loss analysisCompare competition, monopoly and oligopolyExamine wages, inequality, trade and environmental choicesSolve graphical, numerical and written economic problemsCommunicate assumptions and conclusions clearlyWritten for beginning university students, independent learners and readers rebuilding their economic foundation, this handbook provides a cumulative path from everyday choice to policy evaluation. Chapter summaries and review material reinforce terminology, interpretation, calculation and disciplined analytical communication. This item is printed on demand.
