The text is based on a course on turbomachinery which the author has taught since year 2000 as a technical elective. Topics include; Energy Transfer in Turbomachines, Gas and Steam Turbines, and Hydraulic Turbines. New material on wind turbines, and three-dimensional effects in axial turbomachines is included. The level is kept as such that students can smoothly move from a study of the most successful books in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, an ...
Tribologie, Korrosion, Konstruktion und Werkstofftechnik sind Wissensbereiche, die sich zunachst parallel entwickelt haben. Das gleiche gilt fur die verschiedenen Verfahren der Oberflachentechnik. Heute wird es zunehmend wichtiger, interdisziplinare Ansatze zu finden, um die Problemstellungen der Zukunft, wie z.B. Umweltschutz oder Ressourcenschonung, gemeinsam zu losen. Das Buch verfolgt den Ansatz, diese Wissensbereiche zu verknupfen. Es begin ...
In der Lebensmittel-, der kosmetischen, pharmazeutischen und chemischen Industrie sowie in der Biotechnologie ist zum Schutz vor Kontamination ein hygienischer Produktionsprozess sehr wichtig. Sichere Qualitatsprodukte lassen sich nur mit Anlagen herstellen, die sich zuverlassig reinigen lassen. Deshalb spielt bei der Herstellung hochreiner Produkte «Hygienic Design» moderner Anlagen, Apparate, Komponenten und Prozessraume eine entscheidende Rol ...
