New Trains
These important IMechE conference transactions identify the good and bad things about industry behaviour in new train provision; things that have caused frustration within both government and industry alike. Through a wide selection of papers, New Trains seeks to highlight and explore the challenges and solutions facing the industry today. New Trains focuses on the design, new train introduction, maintenance, and developing technologies. This volume contains technical papers from experts in industry who have first-hand experience of what works and, when it doesn't, how to put it right.
Powder Metallurgy in Design
Standardized processing routes for PM fabrication Powder Metallurgy in Design: Wear, Corrosion and Fatigue Resistance is an essential resource for anyone in the field. Powder metallurgy allows engineers to control the microstructure of the metal, resulting in materials more suitable for the fabrication of unique parts with unique properties — yet the process of formulating these metals is itself unique. This book standardizes and codifies the necessary processing routes, and helps engineers incorporate the potential of these products into the design stage of a project.
Fuel Injection Systems 2003
Fuel Injection Systems addresses key issues in fuel delivery and associated technologies which are evolving faster than ever. The rapid technological change has reduced product life cycles resulting in rapid evolution of design and development methods to enable timely delivery of increasingly complex technology. This is vital as the demands on engines are increasingly stringent, especially in the field of emissions, new fuel injection systems are being developed to meet these challenges, not only in passenger cars but also for heavy duty as well as large engine applications. This volume brings together international contributions from the leading experts in industry and the latest research f...
Renewable Bioenergy
Renewable Bioenergy - Technologies, Risks and Rewards explores the management of risks faced by bioenergy projects and the potential benefits that they bring. This volume includes papers from authoritative authors who have had first hand experience in the bioenergy sector, whether it be from the perspective of the farming sector, the suppliers of technology, the project developers, or the financiers. Their knowledge and experience will help identify the way forward for this emerging renewable energy sector, which has the potential to make a significant contribution to our future energy needs. Topics covered include: Fuel Research and Development The Government Perspective Deploying Technology Developers and Users Covering the Risks The Regulatory Context Connecting and Selling
Vehicle Noise and Vibration
The acoustic and vibration characteristics of vehicles remain vitally important factors to market success. Failure to meet customer expectations can seriously affect sales and ultimately company survival. Achieving appropriate quality and affordable costs is the engineering task that this volume addresses.
Healthcare Engineering - Latest Developments and Applications
Healthcare Engineering - Latest Developments and Applications focuses on building design and management, environmental issues including energy consumption and emission, plus air quality and infection control in patient areas. Providing an insight into the solutions offered by new technologies and systems to building management challenges Healthcare Engineering - Latest Developments and Applications identifies ideas for improved design and layout of hospitals and equipment. As well as practical advice on how to control energy consumption, and updates on the latest research into hospital acquired infection, this volume gives detailed analysis of hygiene control in operating theatres. An up-to-date text essential for the study of Healthcare Engineering.
Stirling And Thermal-lag Engines: Motive Power Without The Co2
Existing literature focuses on the alleged merits of the Stirling engine. These are indeed latent but, decades on, remain to be fully realised. This is despite the fact that Stirling and other closed-cycle prime-movers offer a contribution to an ultra-low carbon economy. By contrast with solar panels, the initial manufacture of Stirling engines makes no demands on scarce or exotic raw materials. Further, calculating embodied carbon per kWh favours the Stirling engine by a wide margin.However, the reader expecting to find the Stirling engine promoted as a panacea for energy problems may be surprised to find the reverse. Stirling and Thermal-Lag Engines reflects upon the fact that there is mor...
The Air Engine
Two centuries after the original invention, the Stirling engine is now a commercial reality as the core component of domestic CHP (combined heat and power) – a technology offering substantial savings in raw energy utilization relative to centralized power generation. The threat of climate change requires a net reduction in hydrocarbon consumption and in emissions of 'greenhouse' gases whilst sustaining economic growth. Development of technologies such as CHP addresses both these needs.Meeting the challenge involves addressing a range of issues: a long-standing mismatch between inherently favourable internal efficiency and wasteful external heating provision; a dearth of heat transfer and f...
Composites for the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry
The progressive advances in the understanding of composite materials is particularly important in the harsh environment of the offshore oil and gas industry. This text presents a collection of papers from an IMechE seminar on the subject.
