Industrial electronics systems govern so many differentfunctions that vary in complexity—from the operationof relatively simple applications, such as electricmotors, to that of more complicated machines and sys-tems, including robots and entire fabrication processes.

The Industrial Electronics Handbook, SecondEdition combines traditional and newer, more spe-cialized knowledge that will help industrial electronicsengineers develop practical solutions for the designand implementation of modern industrial systems.Embracing the broad technological scope of the field,this collection explores fundamental areas, includinganalog and digital circuits, electronics, electromagnet-ic machines, and signal processing. It also facilitatesthe use of intelligent systems—such as neural net-works, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary methods—interms of a hierarchical structure that makes factorycontrol and supervision more efficient by addressingthe needs of all production components.

Assembling the world’s leading researchers to coverkey aspects of this branch of science, the handbookincludes the following volumes, which are availableindividually or as a complete set: • Fundamentals of Industrial Electronics• Power Electronics and Motor Drives• Control and Mechatronics• Industrial Communication Systems• Intelligent Systems

To help readers deal with myriad physical phenome-na—and the sensors used to measure them—thehandbook reevaluates the importance of electronic cir-cuits. It goes beyond their value as an end product andfocuses on their importance as building blocks in larg-er systems. Taking into account the relative complexi-ty of most fabrication processes, contributors simplifythe development and application of communicationsystems that can be tailored for specific industrial envi-ronments to link the various elements of each.

Enhancing its value, this fully updated collection pres-ents research and global trends as published in the IEEETransactions on Industrial Electronics Journal, one of thelargest and most respected publications in the field.

Gas TurbineCombustionAlternative Fuels and Emissions, Third EditionArthur H. LefebvreDilip R. BallalUniversity of Dayton, Ohio, USA

Reflecting the developments in gas turbine combus-tion technology that have occurred in the last decade,Gas Turbine Combustion: Alternative Fuels andEmissions, Third Edition provides an up-to-datedesign manual and research reference on the design,manufacture, and operation of gas turbine combus-tors in applications ranging from aeronautical topower generation. Essentially self-contained, the bookonly requires a moderate amount of prior knowledgeof physics and chemistry.

In response to the fluctuating cost and environmentaleffects of petroleum fuel, this third edition includes achapter on alternative fuels. This chapter presents thephysical and chemical properties of conventional(petroleum-based) liquid and gaseous fuels for gasturbines; reviews the properties of alternative (syn-thetic) fuels and conventional-alternative fuel blends;and describes the influence of these different fuels andtheir blends on combustor performance, design, andemissions. It also discusses the special requirements ofaircraft fuels and the problems encountered with fuelsfor industrial gas turbines. In the updated chapter onemissions, the authors highlight the quest for higherfuel efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissionsas well as the regulations involved.

Continuing to offer detailed coverage of multifuelcapabilities, flame flashback, high off-design combus-tion efficiency, and liner failure studies, this best-selling book is the premier guide to gas turbine combustion technology. This edition retains the stylethat made its predecessors so popular while updatingthe material to reflect the technology of the twenty-first century.

Its textbook cannotafford to be a chemistry, physics, or engineering textfocused on nano. It must be an integrated, multidisci-plinary, and specifically nano textbook. The archetypeof the modern nano textbook, Introduction toNanoscience and Nanotechnology builds a solidbackground in characterization and fabrication meth-ods while integrating the physics, chemistry, and biology facets. The remainder of this color text focus-es on applications, examining engineering aspects aswell as nanomaterials and industry-specific applica-tions in such areas as energy, electronics, and biotech-nology.

Also available in two course-specific volumes:

Introduction to Nanoscience elucidates thenanoscale along with the societal impacts ofnanoscience, then presents an overview of characteri-zation and fabrication methods. The authors system-atically discuss the chemistry, physics, and biologyaspects of nanoscience, providing a complete pictureof the challenges, opportunities, and inspirationsposed by each facet before giving a brief glimpse atnanoscience in action: nanotechnology.

Fundamentals of Nanotechnology surveys the field’sbroad landscape, exploring the physical basics such asnanorheology, nanofluidics, and nanomechanics aswell as industrial concerns such as manufacturing, reli-ability, and safety. The authors then explore the vastrange of nanomaterials and systematically outlinedevices and applications in various industrial sectors.

This second edition of a bestseller provides a well-illustrated resource that comprehensively covers thedesign of inherently safer and user-friendly plants. Thebook demonstrates how chemical plants can with-stand human error and equipment failures withoutserious effects on safety, output, or efficiency. This edi-tion features chapters that outline the role of inher-ently safer design in explosion prevention and mitiga-tion and the link between inherently safer design andprocess safety design. Sections address the hierarchyof controls and highlight human factors in determin-ing risk. The text also includes case studies that reviewmajor process incidents.

Hydrology inPracticeFourth EditionElizabeth M. Shaw,Keith J. Beven, Nick A. Chappell, andRob LambHydrology in Practice is an excellent and very suc-cessful introductory text for engineering hydrologystudents who go on to be practitioners in consultan-cies, the Environment Agency, and elsewhere.

This fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice, whileretaining all that is excellent about its predecessor, byElizabeth M. Shaw, replaces the material on the FloodStudies Report with an equivalent section on themethods of the Flood Estimation Handbook and itsrevisions. Other completely revised sections on instru-mentation and modelling reflect the many changesthat have occurred over recent years. The updatedtext has taken advantage of the extensive practicalexperience of the staff of JBA Consulting who use themethods described on a day-to-day basis. Topical casestudies further enhance the text and the way in whichstudents at undergraduate and MSc level can relate toit. The fourth edition will also have a wider appeal out-side the UK by including new material on hydrologi-cal processes, which also relate to courses in geogra-phy and environmental science departments. In thisrespect the book draws on the expertise of Keith J.Beven and Nick A. Chappell, who have extensiveexperience of field hydrological studies in a variety ofdifferent environments, and have taught undergradu-ate hydrology courses for many years.

Second- and final-year undergraduate (and MSc) students of hydrology in engineering, environmentalscience, and geography departments across theglobe, as well as professionals in environmental pro-tection agencies and consultancies, will find this bookinvaluable. It is likely to be the course text for everyundergraduate/MSc hydrology course in the UK andin many cases overseas too.

The Psychologyof SafetyHandbookE. Scott GellerVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA

This psychology classic provides everything requiredto decrease the frequency and severity of accidentalinjuries in any organization. He covers all areas of psy-chology directly relevant to understanding and influ-encing safety-related behaviors. The cause of manyinjuries can be attributed to at-risk behavior or insuffi-cient safe behavior. The Psychology of SafetyHandbook not only teaches principles and practicalprocedures for improving safety-related behaviors,but also illustrates how to increase people's willing-ness to use these techniques to create a "Total SafetyCulture."
