Fluid Power Circuits and Controls: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition
by John S. Cundiff Michael F. KocherFluid Power Circuits and Controls: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition, is designed for a first course in fluid power for undergraduate engineering students. After an introduction to the design and function of components, students apply what they’ve learned and consider how the component operating characteristics interact with the rest of the circuit. The Second Edition offers many new worked examples and additional exercises and problems in each chapter. Half of these new problems involve the basic analysis of specific elements, and the rest are design-oriented, emphasizing the analysis of system performance. The envisioned course does not require a controls course as a prerequisite; however, it does lay a foundation for understanding the extraordinary productivity and accuracy that can be achieved when control engineers and fluid power engineers work as a team on a fluid power design problem. A complete solutions manual is available for qualified adopting instructors.

Fluid-Structure-Sound Interactions and Control
by Dewey H. Hodges Yang Liu Yu Zhou Lixi HuangWith rapid economic and industrial development in China, India and elsewhere, fluid-related structural vibration and noise problems are widely encountered in many fields, just as they are in the more developed parts of the world, causing increasingly grievous concerns. Turbulence clearly has a significant impact on many such problems. On the other hand, new opportunities are emerging with the advent of various new technologies, such as signal processing, flow visualization and diagnostics, new functional materials, sensors and actuators, etc. These have revitalized interdisciplinary research activities, and it is in this context that the 2nd symposium on fluid-structure-sound interactions and control (FSSIC) was organized. Held in Hong Kong (May 20-21, 2013) and Macau (May 22-23, 2013), the meeting brought together scientists and engineers working in all related branches from both East and West and provided them with a forum to exchange and share the latest progress, ideas and advances and to chart the frontiers of FSSIC. The Proceedings of the 2nd Symposium on Fluid-Structure-Sound Interactions and Control largely focuses on advances in the theory, experimental research and numerical simulations of turbulence in the contexts of flow-induced vibration, noise and their control. This includes several practical areas for interaction, such as the aerodynamics of road and space vehicles, marine and civil engineering, nuclear reactors and biomedical science etc. One of the particular features of these proceedings is that it integrates acoustics with the study of flow-induced vibration, which is not a common practice but is scientifically very helpful in understanding, simulating and controlling vibration. This offers a broader view of the discipline from which readers will benefit greatly. These proceedings are intended for academics, research scientists, design engineers and graduate students in engineering fluid dynamics, acoustics, fluid and aerodynamics, vibration, dynamical systems and control etc. Yu Zhou is a professor in Institute for Turbulence-Noise-Vibration Interaction and Control at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Fluidization of Fine Powders
by José Manuel Valverde MillánThis book covers the rich phenomenology exhibited by fine powders when they are fluidized by a gas flow. Fine powder cohesiveness leads to poor flowability, clumping, difficulty in fluidizing, irregular avalanching behavior, etc. Despite all the inconveniences, fine powder processes pervade the chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural and mining industries among others. The author in this book analyzes the mechanism by which interparticle adhesive forces are reduced by means of surface additives. Different techniques have been developed in the last years to assist fluidization by helping the gas flow to mobilize and break cohesive aggregates, which help to homogenize fluidization. As reviewed in this book, the use of these techniques may have a relevant impact on novel processes based on fluidized beds of fine powder and with relevant applications on leading edge technologies such as Atomic Layer Deposition on nanoparticles and CO2 capture by gas-fluidized beds of adsorbent powders. The study of fluidized beds has a marked interdisciplinary character. This book is thus intended for academic and industrial researchers in applied physics, mechanical, chemical, and environmental engineering, who are interested in the special characteristics of fine powders.

Fluidodinamica dell’Oceano e dell’Atmosfera
by Stefano PieriniQuesto testo esplora la Fluidodinamica dell'Oceano e dell'Atmosfera ed è concepito specificamente per corsi di laurea di primo livello (B.Sc., livello upper undergraduate). Sebbene la fluidodinamica sia ampiamente trattata in vari corsi di Ingegneria - come l’Ingegneria Meccanica, Civile, Idraulica, Navale e Aerospaziale - esiste una carenza di testi universitari che affrontino l'argomento con un approccio più aderente alla Fisica e che includano specifici aspetti riguardanti l’oceano e l’atmosfera. Questo libro nasce con l’obiettivo di colmare tale lacuna. Nella prima parte, dopo un'introduzione ai fondamenti della fluidodinamica incompressibile - evitando di soffermarsi su aspetti di interesse puramente ingegneristico - viene trattato in dettaglio un tema di grande rilevanza meteo-oceanografica: le onde di gravità, sia superficiali sia interne. La seconda parte è interamente dedicata alla fluidodinamica in sistemi di riferimento rotanti, con un focus sugli aspetti basilari della meteorologia e dell’oceanografia dinamica, nei quali la forza apparente di Coriolis gioca un ruolo cruciale. Questo testo si propone come una preziosa risorsa per studenti e ricercatori che desiderino acquisire le basi della fluidodinamica applicata a contesti oceanici e atmosferici, offrendo una prospettiva fisica dettagliata e rigorosa.
