Sediment Transport Dynamics

Sediment Transport Dynamics

This book focuses on the fundamentals of sediment transport in surface waters. It covers sediment properties open channel flows sediment particle settling incipient motion bed forms bed load suspended load total load cohesive sediments water-sediment two-phase flows hyperconcentrated flows debris flows wave-induced sediment transport turbidity currents and physical modeling. Besides the primary context of river sedimentation this book extensively covers sediment transport under coexisting waves and currents in coasts and estuaries hyperconcentrated and debris flows in rivers as well as turbidity currents in lakes reservoirs channels and the ocean. It includes a chapter on the water-sediment two-phase flow theory which is considered the basis of many sediment transport models. It introduces some special topics have that emerged in recent years such as the transport of mixed cohesive and noncohesive sediments biofilm-coated sediments and infiltrated sand within gravel and cobble beds. The text merges classical and new knowledge of sediment transport from various sources in English and non-English literature and includes important contributions made by many scientists and engineers from all over the world. It balances the breadth depth fundamental importance practical applicability and future advancement of the covered knowledge and can be used as a text and reference book. The chapters are arranged in a useful sequence for teaching purposes. Certain homework problems are prepared which also highlight the important topics for instructors to select. Solutions to homework problems are available from the author by request. | Sediment Transport Dynamics

Chopin

Chopin

This anthology brings together representative examples of the most significant and engaging scholarly writing on Chopin by a wide range of authors. The essays selected for the volume portray a rounded picture of Chopin as composer pianist and teacher of his music and of his overall achievement and legacy. Historical perspectives are offered on Chopin’s biography ’as cultural discourse’ on the evolution and origins of his style and on the contexts of given works. A fascinating contemporary overview of Chopin’s oeuvre is also provided. Seven source studies assess the status and role of Chopin’s notational practices as well as some enigmatic sketch material. Essays in the field of performance studies scrutinise the ’cultural work’ carried out by Chopin’s performances and discuss his playing style along with that of his contemporaries and students. This paves the way for a body of essays on analysis aesthetics and reception considering aspects of genre and including an overview of analytical approaches to select works. The remaining essays address Chopin’s handling of form rhythm and other musical elements as well as the ’meaning’ of his msuic. The collection as a whole underscores one of the most important aspects of Chopin’s legacy namely the paradoxical manner in which he drew from the past - in particular certain eighteenth-century traditions - while stretching inherited conventions and practices to such an extent that a highly original ’music of the future’ was heralded.

Heating and Cooling with Ground-Source Heat Pumps in Moderate and Cold Climates Two-Volume Set

Heating and Cooling with Ground-Source Heat Pumps in Moderate and Cold Climates Two-Volume Set

Heating and Cooling with Ground-Source Heat Pumps in Moderate and Cold Climates Two-Volume Set focuses on the use of very low-temperature geothermal energy for heating and cooling residential institutional and industrial buildings and aims to increase the design community’s awareness and knowledge of the benefits design and installation requirements of commercial/institutional building ground-source heat pumps (GSHP). This set helps readers assess applicability select a GSHP system type and estimate building thermal load to ensure proper size for ground-source subsystems appropriate brine and groundwater flow rates and apt design of building closed-loops with distributed or central geothermal heat pumps. The first volume addresses fundamentals and design principles of vertical and horizontal indirect and direct expansion closed-loop as well as ground- and surface-water ground-source heat pump systems. It explains the thermodynamic aspects of mechanical and thermochemical compression cycles of geothermal heat pumps as well as the energetic economic and environmental aspects associated with the use of ground-source heat pump systems for heating and cooling residential and commercial/institutional buildings in moderate and cold climates. The second volume focuses on applications and cases studies of ground-source heat pumps in moderate and cold climates. It details technical aspects as well as the most common and uncommon application fields of basic system configurations.
