Beginning with an introduction to several types of synchronous machine structures, the authors move on to the most common faults found in synchronous generators and their impacts on performance. The book includes coverage of different modeling tools, including the finite element method, winding function, and magnetic equivalent circuit, as well as various types of health monitoring systems focusing on the magnetic field, voltage, current, shaft flux, and vibration. Finally, Electromagnetic Analysis and Condition Monitoring of Synchronous Generators covers signal processing tools that can help identify hidden patterns caused by faults and machine learning tools enabling automated condition monitoring. The book also includes: A thorough introduction to condition monitoring in electric machines and its importance to synchronous generators Comprehensive explorations of the classification of synchronous generators, including armature arrangement, machine construction, and applications Practical discussions of different types of electrical and mechanical faults in synchronous generators, including short circuit faults, eccentricity faults, misalignment, core-related faults, and broken damper bar faults In-depth examinations of the modeling of healthy and faulty synchronous generators, including analytical and numerical methods Perfect for engineers working in electrical machine analysis, maintenance, and fault detection, Electromagnetic Analysis and Condition Monitoring of Synchronous Generators is also an indispensable resource for professors and students in electrical power engineering.
Debunking conventional narratives of Afghanistan as a perennial war zone and the rule of law as a secular-liberal monopoly, Faiz Ahmed presents a vibrant account of the first Muslim-majority country to gain independence, codify its own laws, and ratify a constitution after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Afghanistan Rising illustrates how turn-of-the-twentieth-century Kabul--far from being a landlocked wilderness or remote frontier--became a magnet for itinerant scholars and statesmen shuttling between Ottoman and British imperial domains. Tracing the country's longstanding but often ignored scholarly and educational ties to Baghdad, Damascus, and Istanbul as well as greater Delhi and Lahore, Ahmed explains how the court of Kabul attracted thinkers eager to craft a modern state within the interpretive traditions of Islamic law and ethics, or shariʿa, and international norms of legality. From Turkish lawyers and Arab officers to Pashtun clerics and Indian bureaucrats, this rich narrative focuses on encounters between divergent streams of modern Muslim thought and politics, beginning with the Sublime Porte's first mission to Afghanistan in 1877 and concluding with the collapse of Ottoman rule after World War I. By unearthing a lost history behind Afghanistan's founding national charter, Ahmed shows how debates today on Islam, governance, and the rule of law have deep roots in a beleaguered land. Based on archival research in six countries and as many languages, Afghanistan Rising rediscovers a time when Kabul stood proudly as a center of constitutional politics, Muslim cosmopolitanism, and contested visions of reform in the greater Islamicate world.
Beyond My Lips is a collection of soulful musings of a variegated Aligarian, Mohd Anwar Jamal Faiz, that have taken the form of some beautiful English Poems. It would encourage readers to dwell and merge into the waters of emotion. The variety of poems train the young minds to look, listen and react to a poem in subtle imaginative ways. For the matured minds, the book enfolds various deep, mystical and vivid verses that have accounts, express sentiments, and speak of lives. Anwar Jamal, aka Barbar Ghazipuri, is a people's poet, writing about love, sorrows, philosophy, culture, politics, feminism, secularism and humanity, with quick-witted attention. Anwar completed his B.Tech. in Computer Science from the coveted Aligarh Muslim University. He also completed the Advanced Program in Project Management from IIM, Kozhikode. Apart from having a rich collection of widely published and unpublished Self composed poetry and a rising name in poetic circles, Anwar Jamal has an inherent love for humanity and egalitarian principles. This book has received blessings and the wishes from many cheerful friends and writers including Gauhar Raza (Scientist, Poet & Social Activist), Dr Saurabh Bajpai (PhD, JNU, Faculty Delhi University and Convener National Movement Front), Maskoor Ahmad Usmani (President, Aligarh Muslim University Students Union)
Pilot Scale Microalgae Cultivation: Challenges and Practical Solutions to Pond Crash brings together the latest research on microalgae cultivation for biofuels and proposes methods for tackling the critical issue of sudden pond crash in both pilot and demonstration scale cultivation. Engaging the challenges in both academic research and industrial applications, this book provides routes to identify signs of imminent pond crash, control damage where possible, and prevent future crashes through environmental control and early detection. Chapters outline microalgae cultivation at pilot scale, showing methods for upstream and down-stream processing of microalgae and outlining different applications for microalgae biomass, along with potential challenges. - Provides the first comprehensive reference combining all past research on microalgae cultivation and the challenges surrounding sudden pond crashes - Focuses on case studies drawn from two decades of experimentation, providing practical solutions to key problems in cultivation, along with a clear roadmap for moving forward at larger scales - Considers cultivation from a techno-economic perspective, examining the particular challenges this adds to scaling up the process successfully
Vast global resources are ploughed into the delivery of treatment interventions ranging from diet and lifestyle advice to complex surgery. In all cases, whatever the intervention, unless the recipient is engaged with the process and understands why the intervention has been offered and the part they play in its success, compliance is an issue. Even where the individual does engage and understand, he or she may choose not to comply. Non-compliance is estimated to cost the pharma industry US$70 billion per year. No figures exist for the cost to healthcare insurers and public health but non-compliance is undoubtedly one of the top five issues facing both drug developers and healthcare providers. During clinical trials, non-compliance undermines the accuracy of the data generated from the whole trial as well as particular aspects such as the efficacy of different dosages. This book explores the key factors which drive compliance and the part that healthcare professionals can play in improving this, with the key underlying goal of improving public health in its broadest sense.
Professor Faiz M. Khan is a world-renowned medical physicist. He has a passion for delving into cosmology, evolution, and life philosophies. In this book, he recounts his childhood and early education in a small village in Pakistan, his college days in the ancient cities of Multan and Lahore, and his pursuit of getting the highest academic degree that his father had predicted when he was a child. He fulfilled that prediction by receiving his PhD from the University of Minnesota. Later, his sheer determination to excel in his academic career earned him the highest award from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, namely the William D. Coolidge Gold Medal. In this book, Professor Khan writes the story of his life. It is his account of both the how and the why of living. From the trajectory of his life, one can surmise that simple beginnings are not a handicap in life.
