This volume consists of 14 manuscripts from the Fifth International Symposium on Engine Coolant Technology sponsored by the American Society for Testing and Materials Committee D15 on Engine Coolants, held in Toronto, Canada, in May 2006. Papers cover advances in system components, experimental testing, uses, and users' experience of automotive and heavy-duty applications. They focus on international coolant development, field testing of additives, recycling, additive compatibility, alternate coolant base technology, extended life oxidation and thermal stability, and new testing methods of cavitation, erosion, and localized corrosion. Contributors are international technical representatives from OEM and engine coolant producers. There is no index.
Annotation Emerging from a November 1991 symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona, 19 papers report on advances in developing, testing, and applying engine cooling fluids for automobiles and heavy duty engines. Among the topics are carboxylic acids as corrosion inhibitors in engine coolant, phosphate-molybdate supplements to heavy duty diesel engines, the toxicity and disposal of engine coolants, and the characterization of used engine coolant by statistical analysis.

A comprehensive reference for engineers and researchers, Gas Turbine Heat Transfer and Cooling Technology, Second Edition has been completely revised and updated to reflect advances in the field made during the past ten years. The second edition retains the format that made the first edition so popular and adds new information mainly based on selected published papers in the open literature. See What’s New in the Second Edition: State-of-the-art cooling technologies such as advanced turbine blade film cooling and internal cooling Modern experimental methods for gas turbine heat transfer and cooling research Advanced computational models for gas turbine heat transfer and cooling performance predictions Suggestions for future research in this critical technology The book discusses the need for turbine cooling, gas turbine heat-transfer problems, and cooling methodology and covers turbine rotor and stator heat-transfer issues, including endwall and blade tip regions under engine conditions, as well as under simulated engine conditions. It then examines turbine rotor and stator blade film cooling and discusses the unsteady high free-stream turbulence effect on simulated cascade airfoils. From here, the book explores impingement cooling, rib-turbulent cooling, pin-fin cooling, and compound and new cooling techniques. It also highlights the effect of rotation on rotor coolant passage heat transfer. Coverage of experimental methods includes heat-transfer and mass-transfer techniques, liquid crystal thermography, optical techniques, as well as flow and thermal measurement techniques. The book concludes with discussions of governing equations and turbulence models and their applications for predicting turbine blade heat transfer and film cooling, and turbine blade internal cooling.
The annual report of the Institute for Nuclear and Energy Technologies of KIT summarizes its research activities and provides some highlights of each working group, like thermal-hydraulic analyses for fusion reactors, accident analyses for light water reactors, and research on innovative energy technologies: liquid metal technologies for energy conversion, hydrogen technologies and geothermal power plants. The institute has been engaged in education and training in energy technologies.

In terms of global installed capacity, solar PV has overtaken hydro and wind power as the third most important renewable energy source. Photovoltaic Solar Energy: From Fundamentals to Applications brings together the experience of international PV experts to give a thorough and up-to-date description of existing PV technologies, as well as an appraisal of technical advances. Key features: Written by top experts involved in parallel advancements in material sciences, solar cell research, and application-driven research and development. Provides a fundamental understanding of light, photons, and solar irradiance, as well as basic PV functioning concepts. Covers solar cell characterization techniques, economics, and applications, including silicon, thin-film, and hybrid solar cells. Provides a comprehensive overview of PV technologies, including crystalline silicon, chalcogenide thin film solar cells, thin-film silicon-based PV technologies, organic PV and III-Vs, PV concentrator technologies, and economics, life-cycle, and user aspects of PV technologies. This preface provides an outline of the major ideas covered in this book. The book covers the fundamental functional concepts of photovoltaics (PVs), as well as an introduction to semiconductor materials and a number of subjects related to the physics of solar cells in general. First, it covers the fundamentals of irradiance physics. The irradiance of the sun is determined by the composition of the atmosphere and, as a result, weather, which includes cloud formation and precipitation, particles and water vapor in the atmosphere, and gases contained by the atmosphere.
