IEEE Recommended Practice for Calculating Short-Circuit Currents in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

IEEE Recommended Practice for Calculating Short-Circuit Currents in Industrial and Commercial Power Systems
Publisher: IEEE | January 2006 | ISBN: 0738149322 | Pages: 300 | PDF | 5.14 MB

Electric power systems in industrial plants and commercial and institutional buildings are designed to serve loads in a safe and reliable manner. One of the major considerations in the design of a power system is adequate control of short circuits or faults as they are commonly called. Uncontrolled short-circuits can cause service outage with accompanying production downtime and associated inconvenience, interruption of essential facilities or vital services, extensive equipment damage, personnel injury or fatality, and possible fire damage.

IEEE Recommended Practice for Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

IEEE Recommended Practice for Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems (The IEEE Green Book) by IEEE
Publisher: IEEE; 5th edition (June 1982) | ISBN: 1559371412 | Pages: 240 | PDF | 2.02 MB

Grounding of an electrical system is a decision that must be faced sometime by most engineers charged with planning or modifying electrical distribution. Grounding in some form is generally recommended, although there are certain exceptions. Several methods and criteria exist for system grounding; each has its own purpose.

It is the intention of this section to assist the engineer in making decisions on the subject by presenting basic reasons for grounding or not grounding and by reviewing general practices and methods of system grounding. The practices set forth herein are primarily applicable to industrial power systems that distribute and utilize power at medium or low voltage, usually within a smaller geographical area than is covered by a utility.

IEEE Recommended Practice for Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power Systems

IEEE Recommended Practice for Design of Reliable Industrial and Commercial Power Systems
Publisher: IEEE | 2007 | ISBN: 0738153001 | Pages: 383 | PDF | 4.45 MB

The objective of this book is to present the fundamentals of reliability analysis applied to the planning and design of industrial and commercial electric power distribution systems. The intended audience for this material is primarily consulting engineers and plant electrical engineers and technicians. The design of reliable industrial and commercial power distribution systems is important because of the high cost associated with power outages. It is necessary to consider the cost of power outages when making design decisions for new power distribution systems as well as to have the ability to make quantitative “cost-versus-reliability” trade-off studies. The lack of credible data concerning equipment reliability and the cost of power outages has hindered engineers in making such studies.

Quantifying Matter

Joseph A. Angelo - Quantifying Matter
Published: 2011-03 | ISBN: 081607609X | PDF | 230 pages | 25.47 MB

The rise of civilization parallels the ability of humans to measure and physically describe matter. The English word quantitative is an adjective that means "pertaining to, or susceptible of measurement." When scientists quantify matter, they attempt to describe certain physical properties or characteristics of matter in an orderly, understandable, and useful manner. Precise, repeatable measurements and experiments support the scientific understanding of matter.

Quantifying Matter explains how scientists learned to measure matter and quantify some of its most fascinating and useful properties. It presents many of the most important intellectual achievements and technical developments that led to the scientific interpretation of substance. Complete with full-color photographs, this exciting new volume describes the basic characteristics and properties of matter.

Oilseeds occupy an important position in agriculture and industrial economy. For human nutrition, vegetable oils play an important role, acting as an energy source and supplying the human body with more than twice the calories per unit weight than those provided by proteins and carbohydrates. So, management problems and using possible control techniques could increase the quality and quantity of the products.

Fundamentals of Air Pollution

Fundamentals of Air Pollution
English | 2007-08-13 | ISBN: 0123736153 | 936 pages | PDF | 6,8 MB

Fundamentals of Air Pollution is an important and widely used textbook in the environmental science and engineering community. Written shortly after the passage of the seminal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the third edition was quite timely. Surprisingly, the text has remained relevant for university professors, engineers, scientists, policy makers and students up to recent years. However, in light of the transition in the last five years from predominantly technology-based standards (maximum achievable control technologies or MACTs) to risk-based regulations and air quality standards, the text must be updated significantly.

The fourth edition will be updated to include numerous MACTs which were not foreseen during the writing of the third edition, such as secondary lead (Pb) smelting, petroleum refining, aerospace manufacturing, marine vessel loading, ship building, printing and publishing, elastomer production, offsite waste operations, and polyethylene terephthalate polymer and styrene-based thermoplastic polymers production. Overall, revisions will reflect the numerous changes in the understanding of air pollution and the development of new technologies that has occurred in the past twelve years.

Modern Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery

"Modern Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery: Theory and Practice" by James J. Sheng
Gulf Prоfеssiоnal Publishing, Еlsеviеr | 2011 | ISBN: 1856177459 9781856177450 | 632 pages | PDF | 6 MB

This book brings the most recent developments in the field to the reader an melds this with the past history and academic research in the field. It contains an extremely large amount of useful and practical information, presented in an easy to read and understand format. The book covers all aspects of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and contains a wealth of tables, charts and actual field experience. The author's insight into many controversial issues such as scaling and adsorption and Alkaline Surfactant Polymer Flooding versus Surfactant Polymer Flooding are refreshing and sharp. This book is for anyone involved in EOR from the student level to the seasoned veteran.

The book provides important case studies related to over one hundred EOR pilot and field applications in a variety of oil fields. These case studies focus on practical problems, underlying theoretical and modelling methods, operational parameters (e.g., injected chemical concentration, slug sizes, flooding schemes and well spacing), solutions and sensitivity studies, and performance optimization strategies. The book strikes an ideal balance between theory and practice, and would be invaluable to academicians and oil company practitioners alike.
