Mechanics of Sediment Transport
This book presents the studies on sediment transport in suspension and sediment transport in steep channels. It discusses the degradation and particle sorting processes.
Vibration and Oscillation of Hydraulic Machinery (International Hydraulic Machinery) (Hydraulic Machinery)
by Hideo Ohashi
This volume in the Hydraulic Machinery Series is concerned with vibration-free and quiet operation of hydraulic machines. It deals with the problems caused by mechanical and hydraulic excitations in the hydraulic machinery (not with transients which are treated in a separate volume). The scope covers the fundamentals for analyses of the fluid structure systems, structural vibration, shaft rotordynamics and system instability. Noise and diagnosis are introduced with examples from practical proble...

An essential introduction to the physics of active matter and its application to questions in biologyIn recent decades, the theory of active matter has emerged as a powerful tool for exploring the differences between living and nonliving states of matter. The Restless Cell provides a self-contained, quantitative description of how the continuum theory of matter has been generalized to account for the complex and sometimes counterintuitive behaviors of living materials.Christina Hueschen and Rob...
Poromechanics
This text features 105 papers dealing with the fundamentals and the applications of poromechanics from the Biot conference of 1998, held in Louvain-la-Neuve. Topics include: wave propogation; numerical modelling; identification of poromechanical parameters; and constitutive modelling.
Catalytic Hydroprocessing of Petroleum and Distillates (Chemical Industries, #58)
by Michael Oballa
This work is based on the proceedings of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' Spring National Meeting in Houston, Texas, March 28 to April 1, 1993. It details various facets of residue upgrading and distillate hydrotreating, stressing the importance of selective catalysts in aromatics reduction. New aromatics saturation processes for the production of very low-aromatic distillates are introduced.

A journey through time and around the world to uncover water's true nature, and how it can help us adapt to climate change. Trouble with water – increasingly frequent, extreme floods and droughts – is one of the first obvious signs of climate change. Meanwhile, urban sprawl, industrial agriculture and engineered water infrastructure are making things worse. As our control attempts fail, we are forced to recognize an eternal truth: sooner or later, water always wins. Award-winning science journ...
This title is a supplement to lectures and tutorials in a Thermodynamics course and also serves as a guide to more comprehensive texts. Rather than merely hurrying through the principles and then dealing with applications, the book presents the scientific method by discussing the science of thermodynamics starting from empirical observations that are relatable to students. For example, the book uses everyday experiences, such as a cup of hot tea cooling spontaneously, to arrive at the Second La...

This book looks at turbomachines and how their performance is analysed and predicted. It is unique in its attempt to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of both hydraulic and compresible flow turbomachines in contrast to competing texts which cover only compressible flow turbomachines. The text maintains a clear distinction between both types of machine throughout in both their design and operation.

Adiabatic Thermodynamics Of Fluids: From Hydrodynamics To General Relativity
by Christian Fronsdal
Unlike the traditional approach to thermodynamics, this book begins with a brief exposition of hydrodynamics. At this stage, the development is limited to potential flows, because, until recently, that is all that could be done, but also for didactic reasons. However, the reader will find that the situation has changed radically with the discovery of Conservative Hydrodynamics.At the core of thermodynamics is the Gibbsean minimum energy principle. In this book, it is generalized to include the h...
