This book documents the experimental techniques developed to study flame microstructure and presents the results and understanding the studies have brought to the fields of combustion and high temperature processes. Premixed laminar flames are the simplest, and show the full range of combustion processes. They are ideal models for studying individual high temperature chemistries, physical processes, and their interactions, and are therefore used to illuminate the processes common to flames.Experimental methods for measuring and mathematical methods for analysing laminar flame structure are presented and the understanding of flame processes is stressed throughout.

Scientists and engineers around the world are striving to develop new sources of energy. This book explores one of these energy alternatives, ocean thermal energy conversion. William H. Avery, the leading researcher in this field, describes the workings of an OTEC power plant and addresses how such a power source might be implemented for national use.OTEC uses solar energy absorbed in surface waters of tropical oceans to produce fuels and electricity. OTEC is safe, environmentally benign and inexhaustable - his book studies its potential and the alternatives.

Beyond Programming provides a unique examination of the software development process. It asserts that software development, a discipline that is less than 50 years old, is still guided by methods conceived in the framework of an older technology. To make significant progress in software development, we must re-examine our fundamental principles and construct a computer science for the technology of the twenty-first century. Blum goes on to explore the history of software development through looking at the scientific foundations of computer technology, the perspectives of the designers themselves and the methods used. The concepts reviewed in Beyond Programming are key to understanding the research and development challenges that will confront computer technology in the next century.

A typical optical system is composed of three basic components: a source, a detector, and a medium in which the optical energy propagates. Many textbooks cover sources and detectors, but very few cover propagation in a comprehensive way, incorporating the latest progress in theory and experiment concerning the propagating medium. This book will fulfill that need. It is the first comprehensive and self-contained book on this topic. It will be a useful reference book for researchers, and a textbook for courses like Laser Light Propagation, Solid State Optics, and Optical Propagation in the Atmosphere.

Fundamentals of Space Systems was developed to satisfy two objectives: the first is to provide a text suitable for use in an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course in both space systems engineering and space system design. The second is to be a primer and reference book for space professionals wishing to broaden their capabilities to develop, manage the development, or operate space systems. The authors of the individual chapters are practicing engineers that have had extensive experience in developing sophisticated experimental and operational spacecraft systems in addition to having experience teaching the subject material. The text presents the fundamentals of all the subsystems of a spacecraft missions and includes illustrative examples drawn from actual experience to enhance the learning experience. It included a chapter on each of the relevant major disciplines and subsystems including space systems engineering, space environment, astrodynamics, propulsion and flight mechanics, attitude determination and control, power systems, thermal control, configuration management and structures, communications, command and telemetry, data processing, embedded flight software, survuvability and reliability, integration and test, mission operations, and the initial conceptual design of a typical small spacecraft mission.
