This volume collects 22 papers presented at the 4th International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography, held at Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary, on 28-29 June 2012. The overall conference theme is 'Exploration - Discovery - Cartography', but preference has been given to papers dealing with cartography in the 19th and 20th centuries. The papers are classified according to regional sub-themes, i.e. papers on the Americas, papers on Africa, etc.
This textbook presents the essential scientific principles of thermodynamics in a detailed and well-structured manner for practice-oriented teaching. It conveys analytically reliable knowledge with a view to engineering application and provides the key to a quick understanding of e.g. thermal machines, heat transfer, humid air and combustion. The present English edition - in comparison to earlier German editions - has been extended to include aspects of fluid mechanics, dynamics of ideal gases and chemical thermodynamics.
"When and how did public health become modern? In Governing Systems, Tom Crook re-examines this key question in the context of Victorian and Edwardian England, long regarded as one of the 'homes' of modern public health. The modernity of modern public health, Crook argues, should be located not in the rise of a centralized, bureaucratic and disciplinary State, but in the contested formation and intricate functioning of systems of governing, from the administrative to the technological. Equally, we need to embrace a dialectical understanding of modern governance, one that is rooted in the interaction of multiple levels, agents and times. Theoretically ambitious, but empirically grounded, Governing Systems will be of interest to historians of modern public health and modern Britain, as well as anyone interested in the complex gestation of the governmental dimensions of modernity"--
Heat Transfer: A Systematic Learning Approach presents valuable tools for understanding heat transfer mechanisms and provides a clear understanding of complex turbulent flows. It gives a comprehensive introduction to topics of heat transfer, including conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and nanofluids. Covering both traditional analytical models for canonical flows and modern turbulence modeling approaches for heat transfer, the book discusses complex impinging jet flow, phase change flows, nanofluids, and convective mass transfer flow. The text includes numerous end-of-chapter problems to enhance student understanding and different solving approaches. It offers the basic flow and energy analysis along with useful MAPLE code to facilitate the learning process. The book is intended for senior undergraduate mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering students taking courses in heat transfer. Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual, Jupyter Notebook programmes, and Figure Slides for their courses.
