    Electronic Components, Tubes and Transistors is intended to bridge the gap between the basic measurement theory of resistance, capacitance, and inductance and the practical application of electronic components in equipments. The more practical or usage aspect of electron tubes and semiconductors is given emphasis over theory. The essential characteristics of each main type of component, tube, and transistor are summarized. This book is comprised of six chapters and begins with a discussion on the essential characteristics in terms of the parameters usually required in choosing a resistor, including size, temperature, linearity, and tolerances. The next chapter focuses on the electrical properties of fixed and variable capacitors such as impregnated-paper capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, and mica-dielectric capacitors. Subsequent chapters deal with magnetic materials and devices; electromagnetic components such as relays and switches; electron tubes and devices; and transistors and semiconductors. This monograph will be a valuable resource for students in choosing the right component and device for a particular application.

  • Cartesian Tensors in Engineering Science

    • 1 Edición
    • L. G. Jaeger
    • B. G. Neal
    • Inglés
    Cartesian Tensors in Engineering Science provides a comprehensive discussion of Cartesian tensors. The engineer, when working in three dimensions, often comes across quantities which have nine components. Variation of the components in a given plane may be shown graphically by a familiar construction called Mohr's circle. For such quantities it is always possible to find three mutually perpendicular axes, called principal axes, with respect to which the six ""paired up"" components are all zero. Such quantities are called symmetric tensors of the second order. The student may at this stage be struck by the fact that the physical quantities with which he normally deals have either one component, three components or nine components, being respectively scalars, vectors, and what have just been called second order tensors. The family of quantities having 1, 3, 9, 27, … components does exist. It is the tensor family in three dimensions. The book discusses the ""tests"" a given quantity must pass in order to qualify as a member of the family. The products of tensors, elasticity, and second moment of area and moment of inertia are also covered. Although written primarily for engineers, it is hoped that students of various branches of physical science may find this book useful.

  • Students' Guide to Programming Languages

    • 1 Edición
    • Malcolm Bull
    • Inglés
    Students' Guide to Programming Languages introduces programming languages, emphasizing why they are needed, how they are defined and constructed, and where and how they are used. With greater access to computers at work, at school, and in the home, more and more people are now able to write programs. Only a small number of these people recognize the underlying features of the programming languages they are using, and even fewer people appreciate the features that are common to most programming languages. This book demonstrates how most programming languages are based upon the same concepts and how knowledge of these concepts can benefit the analyst and the programmer. When specifying computer solutions to real problems, the systems analyst and the programmer must be able to stand back from the particular problem in hand and visualize a solution that is independent of the constraints and limitations imposed by the programming language itself. The text helps in achieving these goals. The book as well is suitable for college students following BTEC and City and Guilds courses in computer studies and IT topics, including professional commercial and end-users.

    Electronic Engineering Applications of Two-Port Networks aims to present the method of developing two-port theory to form the basis of a course on linear electronic systems. This book specifically presents topics on small-signal parameters; two-port models; small-signal analysis of the common-emitter amplifier; and general analysis of small-signal amplifier performance. A chapter is devoted to discussing topics on tandem connections of two ports, which is followed by exercises on matrix reduction. This text also tackles basic feedback connections, feedback amplifiers, and feedback oscillators. The application of the feedback systems is then examined. This book concludes by explaining the capacitive effects on transistor performance. This text will be beneficial to students and experts in the field of electronics.

    In 1988, the news of Egmont Köhler's untimely death at the age of 55reached his friends and colleagues. It was widely felt that a lastingmemorial tribute should be organized. The result is the present volume,containing forty-two articles, mostly in combinatorial design theory andgraph theory, and all in memory of Egmont Köhler. Designs and graphswere his areas of particular interest; he will long be remembered for hisresearch on cyclic designs, Skolem sequences, t-designs and theOberwolfach problem. Professors Lenz and Ringel give a detailedappreciation of Köhler's research in the first article of thisvolume.There is, however, one aspect of Egmont Köhler's biographythat merits special attention. Before taking up the study of mathematics atthe age of 31, he had completed training as a musician (studying bothcomposition and violoncello at the Musikhochschule in Berlin), and workedas a cellist in a symphony orchestra for some years. This accounts for hisinterest in the combinatorial aspects of music. His work and lectures inthis direction had begun to attract the interest of many musicians, and hehad commenced work on a book on mathematical aspects of musical theory. Itis tragic indeed that his early death prevented the completion of his work;the surviving paper on the classification and complexity of chordsindicates the loss that his death meant to the area, as he was almostuniquely qualified to bring mathematics and music together, being aprofessional in both fields.

    The Iron Blast Furnace: Theory and Practice presents theoretical, experimental, and operational evidence about the iron blast furnace as well as a mathematical description of its operation. This book includes a set of equations that accurately describe stoichiometric and enthalpy balances for the process and which are consistent with observed temperatures and compositions in the furnace stack. These equations, which have been devised on the basis of the Rist approach, show the effects of altering any blast-furnace variable on the other operating requirements of the process. This monograph is comprised of 14 chapters and begins with a brief description of the blast-furnace process. The next chapter takes a look inside the furnace, paying particular attention to its behavior in front of the tuyères and the kinetics of the coke gasification reaction. The reader is then introduced to the thermodynamics and stoichiometry of the blast-furnace process; enthalpy balance for the bottom segment of the furnace; the effects of tuyères injectants on blast-furnace operations; and blast-furnace optimization by linear programming. A number of important variables covered by the equations are discussed, including hydrocarbon injection at the tuyères, oxygen enrichment of the blast, moisture, limestone decomposition, coke reactivity, and metalloid reduction. The effects of many of these variables are illustrated numerically in the text while others are demonstrated in sets of problems that follow each chapter. This text will be a valuable resource for metallurgists and materials scientists.
