Powerplant Technology
This text is designed for courses in powerplant technology, powerplant engineering, and energy conversion offered in departments of mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering. It is also suitable as a supplement to courses in energy analysis offered in mechanical or nuclear engineering departments or energy analysis programs. It covers fossil, nuclear and renewable-energy powerplants with equal emphasis, giving students a complete and detailed understanding of the entire spectrum of power generation systems.
Nuclear Energy Conversion
This text presents and illustrates the conversion of nuclear energy into useful power. Different types of nuclear power plants and reactor designs, their energy conversion principles, cycles, and load-following characteristics are analyzed. Each chapter concludes with homework problems.
Nuclear Heat Transport
This book covers the processes of energy (heat) generation in nuclear processes, the transport of that energy by the reactor coolant to the power cycle, and the limitations imposed by the transport mechanism on the design of nuclear reactor cores. Homework problems are presented at the end of each chapter.
The Last Night of Ramadan
A young Muslim boy learns about the traditions associated with the last night of Ramadan, when a month of fasting ends and Eid El Fitr ushers in three days of celebrating with family and friends.
Knowledge Sovereignty Among African Cattle Herders
Beni-Amer cattle owners in the western part of the Horn of Africa are not only masters in cattle breeding, they are also knowledge sovereign, in terms of owning productive genes of cattle and the cognitive knowledge base crucial to sustainable development. The strong bonds between the Beni-Amer, their animals, and their environment constitute the basis of their ways of knowing, and much of their knowledge system is built on experience and embedded in their cultural practices. In this book, the first to study Beni-Amer practices, Zeremariam Fre argues for the importance of their knowledge, challenging the preconceptions that regard it as untrustworthy when compared to scientific knowledge fro...
Envisioning Islam
The first Christians to encounter Islam were not Latin-speakers from the western Mediterranean or Greek-speakers from Constantinople but Mesopotamian Christians who spoke the Aramaic dialect of Syriac. Under Muslim rule from the seventh century onward, Syriac Christians wrote the most extensive descriptions extant of early Islam. Seldom translated and often omitted from modern historical reconstructions, this vast body of texts reveals a complicated and evolving range of religious and cultural exchanges that took place from the seventh to the ninth century. The first book-length analysis of these earliest encounters, Envisioning Islam highlights the ways these neglected texts challenge the m...
Advancements in Model-Driven Architecture in Software Engineering
An integral element of software engineering is model engineering. They both endeavor to minimize cost, time, and risks with quality software. As such, model engineering is a highly useful field that demands in-depth research on the most current approaches and techniques. Only by understanding the most up-to-date research can these methods reach their fullest potential. Advancements in Model-Driven Architecture in Software Engineering is an essential publication that prepares readers to exercise modeling and model transformation and covers state-of-the-art research and developments on various approaches for methodologies and platforms of model-driven architecture, applications and software development of model-driven architecture, modeling languages, and modeling tools. Highlighting a broad range of topics including cloud computing, service-oriented architectures, and modeling languages, this book is ideally designed for engineers, programmers, software designers, entrepreneurs, researchers, academicians, and students.
