Engineering Systems Integration Theory Metrics and Methods

Engineering Systems Integration Theory Metrics and Methods

Dreamers may envision our future but it is the pragmatists who build it. Solve the right problem in the right way mankind moves forward. Solve the right problem in the wrong way or the wrong problem in the right way however clever or ingenious the solution neither credits mankind. Instead this misfire demonstrates a failure to appreciate a crucial step in pragmatic problem solving: systems integration. The first book to address the underlying premises of systems integration and how to exposit them in a practical and productive manner Engineering Systems Integration: Theory Metrics and Methods looks at the fundamental nature of integration exposes the subtle premises to achieve integration and posits a substantial theoretical framework that is both simple and clear. Offering systems managers and systems engineers the framework from which to consider their decisions in light of systems integration metrics the book isolates two basic questions 1) Is there a way to express the interplay of human actions and the result of system interactions of a product with its environment? and 2) Are there methods that combine to improve the integration of systems? The author applies the four axioms of General Systems Theory (holism decomposition isomorphism and models) and explores the domains of history and interpretation to devise a theory of systems integration develop practical guidance applying the three frameworks and formulate the mathematical constructs needed for systems integration. The practicalities of integrating parts when we build or analyze systems mandate an analysis and evaluation of existing integrative frameworks of causality and knowledge. Integration is not just a word that describes a best practice an art or a single discipline. The act of integrating is an approach operative in all disciplines in all we see in all we do. | Engineering Systems Integration Theory Metrics and Methods

Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact

Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact

Green Energy: Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact defines the future of the world’s electricity supply system exploring the key issues associated with global warming and which energy systems are best suited to reducing it. Electricity generation is a concentrated industry with a few sources of emissions which can be controlled or legislated against. This book explains that a green sustainable electricity system is one whose construction installation and operation minimally affect the environment and produce power reliability at an affordable price. It addresses the question of how to build such an electricity supply system to meet the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment. The green argument for conservation and renewable energies is a contradiction in terms. Although they produce no emissions because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units a considerable amount of energy is required to produce erect and maintain them. This book is a response to that conundrum answering key questions such as: How can renewables be exploited to contribute the greatest energy input? Should coal be used for clean fuel and chemical production rather than for power generation? How quickly can we start to build the Green Energy system? The author has more than forty years of experience as an international journalist reporting on power-generating technologies and on energy policies around the world. Detailing the developmental history and current state of the global nuclear industry he discusses the dire immediate need for large quantities of clean emission-free electric power for both domestic and industrial uses. This book details how current technologies—particularly nuclear combined cycle and hydro—can be applied to satisfy safely the growing energy demands in the future. | Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact

Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

The concept of reinforcing brittle materials like cement paste mortar or concrete with fibers has been known since ancient times. For example baked clay reinforced with straw was used to build mud huts and mortars for masonry were reinforced with animal hair. The wide variety of fiber types available in the 20th century has led to the development of a specialization in modern concrete technology based upon creating composites incorporating one or more types of fiber into the matrix of cement paste mortar or concrete. This book summarizes and simplifies the results of a considerable body of research and practical experience with a wide range of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. This information will prove invaluable to engineers architects concrete contractors and others working in design construction or product manufacture who may be unfamiliar with this technology. | Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes
