Cooling Towers

Principles and Practice

By: G. B. Hill,E. J. Pring,Peter D. Osborn

Cooling Towers: Principles and Practice, Third Edition, aims to provide the reader with a better understanding of the theory and practice, so that installations are correctly designed and operated. As with all branches of engineering, new technology calls for a level of technical knowledge which becomes progressively higher; this new edition seeks to ensure that the principles and practice of cooling towers are set against a background of up-to-date technology. The book is organized into three sections. Section A on cooling tower practice covers topics such as the design and operation of cooling towers; types of cooling tower; cooling tower components and construction materials; practical aspects of tower selection; industrial applications; and water quality and treatment. Section B is devoted to cooling tower theory and calculations. These include psychrometry; heat transfer theory and calculations; calculations when selecting tower size for a given duty; and the use of charts for calculation of cooling tower duties. Section C on data and tables explains the basis of the SI system of units and includes meteorological tables and data as well as data on specific heat capacity of some common substances.

Handbook of Energy Data and Calculations

Including Directory of Products and Services

By: Peter D Osborn

Handbook of Energy Data and Calculations: Including Directory of Products and Services provides a comprehensive review of practical energy problems. This manual is organized into four sections. Section A contains data charts and tables relevant to the field of practical energy. Section B covers theoretical background, product technology, case histories, and calculation procedures. Section C is composed of directory of products and services. Bibliography and sources comprise Section D. This contribution to energy education will be very helpful to 'energy executive' engaged in this field.

Management Problems in Serials Work

By: Peter Spyers-Duran,Daniel Gore

Cet ensemble de neuf planches en couleurs A4 comprend 118 microphotographies montrant l'aspect et les caractristiques diagnostiques de tous les helminthes intestinaux et protozoaires parasites courants connus pour infester l'homme. Prsentes sous forme plastifie robuste, ces planches peuvent servir de guide pour les personnels de laboratoire et de terrain dans les pays d'endmie et/ou de matriel ducatif pour les tudiants et les stagiaires. Elles ont pour but d'aider le microscopiste tablir avec certitude la prsence de parasites dans les selles, qu'il s'agisse de minuscules kystes de protozoaires ou de gros oeufs d'helminthes, et de les identifier correctement. A ces fins, les planches comprennent des instructions pour le laboratoire ainsi que des images de haute qualit. Les microphotographies montrent les carac-tristiques diagnostiques de chacun des parasites tels qu'ils apparaissent dans diffrentes prparations et sous des grossissements diffrents. Chaque microphotographie est imprime avec un trait de mesure et s'accompagne d'une brve lgende explicative qui appelle l'attention sur les caractres distinctifs et aide confirmer le diagnostic. Les oeufs d'helminthes sont illustrs dans les 36 premires microphotographies, qui montrent les tapes diagnostiques des helminthes les plus courants, et notamment des nmatodes, des cestodes, des schistosomes et d'autre trmatodes. Les autres microphotographies donnent des conseils sur la manire d'accomplir une tche plus difficile, savoir dtecter et identifier des trophozotes et kystes de protozoaires intestinaux. Les techniques de laboratoire pertinentes sont dcrites au verso des planches. Les instructions portent sur l'talonnage du micromtre oculaire, la prparation de frottis fcaux par la mthode directe, les techniques de concentration des selles, la technique de Kato-Katz, et les techniques de coloration des protozoaires dans les selles. Les autres matriels de laboratoire comprennent des dessins montrant la forme relative et la taille de vingt oeufs d'helminthes, une liste des caractristiques diagnostiques des coccidies intestinales et des microsporidies parasites de l'homme, et des cls de dtermination permettant l'identification de trophozotes d'amibes, de trophozotes de flagells intestinaux, et de kystes d'amibes et de flagells.
