Industrial Catalysis: A Practical Approach
ASIN: 3527285814 |
Book Description
This is a book for developers of catalysts, and for practitioners working in the field of design, operation, and optimization of chemical reactors in which heterogeneous catalysis is performed. It is designed to give a better understanding of the phenomena which can influence catalyst performance. Since two disciplines, chemistry and chemical engineering, meet in catalyst research and development, this book covers the chemical point of view for engineers, and the engineering point of view for chemists.
It starts with an introduction explaining selectivity, activity and effectiveness providing the fundamentals for the newcomer. Catalyst preparation and catalyst testing are also described.
A method is introduced that can be used to calculate the effectiveness of catalyst pellets as a function of shape, size, pore size, type of kinetics and diffusion, and temperature and pressure conditions. Optimization of catalysts and troubleshooting are also covered. This is a book without any rilvals because of its practical relevance.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Another great book to study.......2006-11-10
This is another fantastic resource for the firefighters to study. I highly recomend this book to all firefighters and fire officers. This is a fantastic study guide, full of information.
Book Description
Until now, the literature has offered a rather limited approach to the use of fundamental kinetics and their application to catalytic reactions. Subsequently, this book spans the full range from fundamentals of kinetics and heterogeneous catalysis via modern experimental and theoretical results of model studies to their equivalent large-scale industrial production processes. The result is key knowledge for students at technical universities and professionals already working in industry.
"...such an enterprise will be of great value to the community, to professionals as well as graduate and undergraduate students attempting to move into the field of modern catalysis and kinetics. I strongly recommend you publish this book based on the proposal."
—Prof. Dr. G. A. Samorjai, University of California
"Both authors are well respected specialists, with a very long record of original top-quality work and an international reputation. A book from these authors will be considered an authoritative piece of work, I definitely support this project and I am looking forward to use the book when published."
—Prof. Dr. D. E. Resasco, University of Oklahoma
"I wholly support the proposed project. The authors are very competent young colleagues and there is a real need for such a textbook."
—Prof. Dr. G. Ertl, Fritz-Haber-Institut, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin

The Circuit Designer's Companion, Second Edition
ASIN: 0780353765 |
Book Description
"Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an engineering discipline often identified as black magic. This belief exists because the fundamental mechanisms on how radio frequency (RF) energy is developed within a printed circuit board (PCB) is not well understood by practicing engineers. Rigorous mathematical analysis is not required to design a PCB. Using basic EMC theory and converting complex concepts into simple analogies helps engineers understand the mitigation process that deters EMC events from occurring.
This user-friendly reference covers a broad spectrum of information never before published, and is as fluid and comprehensive as the first edition. The simplified approach to PCB design and layout is based on real-life experience, training, and knowledge. Printed Circuit Board Techniques for EMC Compliance, Second Edition will help prevent the emission or reception of unwanted RF energy generated by components and interconnects, thus achieving acceptable levels of EMC for electrical equipment. It prepares one for complying with stringent domestic and international regulatory requirements. Also, it teaches how to solve complex problems with a minimal amount of theory and math. Essential topics discussed include:
- Introduction to EMC
- Interconnects and I/O
- PCB basics
- Electrostatic discharge protection
- Bypassing and decoupling
- Backplanes-Ribbon Cables-Daughter Cards
- Clock Circuits-Trace Routing-Terminations
- Miscellaneous design techniques
This rules-driven bookformatted for quick access and cross-referenceis ideal for electrical and EMC engineers, consultants, technicians, and PCB designers regardless of experience or educational background."

Terrible book.......2004-07-06
This book looks perfect on paper. The subject matter is important, it talks about many practical concepts, the cover is cute, etc. But trying to read this book I was very disappointed. The author has just cut and pasted some well-known ideas but doesn't explain anything clearly. Despite knowing the subject I found it painful to follow. I wanted to throw the book away after reading a few sections, but I kept telling myself "it can't be that bad, the material is fine, let me give it another chance". But the book is that bad! It is no excuse that this is a "handbook". There are many books that are not textbooks that do a great job explaining things. I feel sorry for anybody who is trying to learn by reading this book. If you are a beginner read Howard Johnson's classic "Black Magic" book. If you are more advanced read Clayton Paul or books on Microwave design.
I donated my book to the city library, but I was very tempted to throw it away to save somebody else from struggling with it.
OK, but missing something.......2003-10-29
So far it has been useful in my designs. They seem to be better and I am sure the book has helped with certification. It has some very useful information. Unfortunatly, it does not have much supporting information or theoretical proofs. Perhaps this helps the non-math oriented user, but I can't imagine why a non-math oriented user would need such a book or what such a person would be doing designing for EMC. As an engineer, I don't take things on face value without understanding of why. The lack of general theory also makes it difficult to extend the information provided to areas not covered in the book. In short, I'd like to know a bit more about why.
good for a lot of EMC/EMI pains.......2001-07-30
I got this book because the boss said to find something to help resolve the FCC/CE and other world EMI/EMC compliance issues we have, and it was instantly used and had the answers we needed.
It covers power and grounds, signal integrity, and used with Howard Johnson's book (High Speed Digital Design), gives a strong insight to the PC board layout issues of high speed digital and analog electronics.

Excellent introductionary textbook on rapid prototyping.......2006-10-25
Rafiq Noorani made a perfect job by creating introductory book on rapid prototyping and he used very effcetively his unqie 25 years experience in teaching rapid prototyping. It is well organized, creafully systematized, elegantly written, richly illustrated introductory textbook on rapid prototyping. This book is very easy to read to newcomers and non-specialists. All specific terminology are well defined and carefully explaned. It provides all necessary information for newcomers. Chapters about medical applications and new technologies are especially interested. References material provides practically all necesary information and contact addresses. Carefully formulated questions in the end of every chapter represents an excellent didactic material for teaching and self-control. Author not just loves his subject but somehow he "transduces" his love to rapid prototyping technology to reader. Excellent job. It is one of the best introductoty textbok on rapid prototyping. Highly recommended for students and everybody who is interested in this amazing technology.
Highly recommended. This book deserves special award. Introduction of color illustrations in second edition could make this excellent book even better.
Book Description
This short book explains hot water heating (hydronic) controls and circuits from the perspective of power suppy, switch, and load. The book starts with a simple control circuit and builds to multiple zone circuits. It explains that adding a control panel simplifies a job rather than making it more complex. The book then looks at various panels, building from an aquastat relay to multiple-zone and multiple-purpose panels.
Customer Reviews:
A little too basic.......2006-02-27
This book would make a good school book to show kids the basics of electrical circuits.
It unfortunately is based on obsolete technology for the hydronic controls and has no controls for heat pumps. It's based around boilers etc.
Excellent for the novice.......2005-05-18
I am a complete novice when it comes to hydronic controls. Basically, I'm an owner-builder who decided to install radiant heat. Since I know nothing about setting it up, I rely on elementary books and materials from the internet to gain knowledge.
Installing the PEX tubing in the slab was easy enough as was attaching the tubing to the underside of the second floor. I had intended to hire someone to finish the set-up but when finances became tight I decided to have a go at it.
I'm not done yet but this book has given me confidence to continue on.
way too simple.......2005-01-06
This book is far too basic. Almost all of the book is
about very simple electrical concepts; the "hydronic
controls" portions are only examples of these general
concepts. I was greatly disappointed with the book --
most manufacturer's web sites have much better and
more understandable descriptions.
This is a worthless book on Radiant Floor Heating.......2004-10-13
This book is totally worthless if you are hoping to understand and design the control systems for radiant floor heating. I wish I could get my money back. The book description by the publisher and the Editorial Reviews are misleading at best. I wish there had been a buyer review at the time I placed my order with Amazon--I would have passed on this book. Avoid.
Too basic to be of use.......2002-11-21
I was very disappointed in this book. It says right on the front cover that it's "A Contractor's easy guide to hydronic Controls, Wiring, and Wiring Diagrams". If a contractor needs to refer to this basic of information, I don't think I want them working in my house. I learned everthing in this book in High School. Don't waste your time unless you have no idea about how electricity works
Book Description
Technical Rescue Operations, Volume I: Planning, Training, and Command is the first in a new rescue series by Larry Collins. Beginning in the early 1980s the fire service experienced the start of a revolution in its approach to rescue. This new methodology has improved the way firefighters and other rescuers are able to detect, locate, treat, and extract trapped victims in practically any situation by emphasizing factors like innovative training, better equipment, and more intelligent planning by well-informed decision makers who constantly ask the question "what if?" Technical Rescue Operations, Volume 1, explains the origins of rescue and guides officers through the process of developing, supervising, and operating a rescue system. This book includes case studies, sample SOGs (standard operating guidelines), sample preplans, and time-proven methods of managing a wide variety of technical rescue and search operations.
Customer Reviews:
An Absolute Waste of Money.......2006-11-22
Judging from the book's title (and its price), you would expect to find a tight, well-written, authoritative work on technical rescue operations. Instead, you get newspaper clippings about Southern California disasters that you could get free over the Internet, some murky photographs that look like like rejects from an amateur's scrapbook, and WAY too many of the author's own "war stories". Here's what you DON'T get: a single detailed procedure, a single technical diagram, or anything that even remotely resembles a standard authoritative strategy for handling ANY type of disaster. I don't believe that the author wrote the book with any intent to defraud, but this volume has got to be the most audacious rip-off in the history of Search-and-Rescue education. Save your money, and do your staff a favor: buy ANYTHING besides this book.
Book Description
TCTC addresses the essential knowledge of what technical communication is, what it does, how it is produced, and how it reaches audiences. Readers will also learn how technical communication relates to issues of professionalism, ethics, technology, community, and personal responsibility. This book shows how today’s workers take on active roles in complex communities, both professional and public, that affect writing and communication.
