This book is primarily intended for design and development engineers. The emphasis of this book is therefore on information which is of practical use. For this reason, theories and methods which do not provide useable solutions are dealt only briefly though sufficient references are provided for more information about them. Effort is made to provide the best available information for the design of heat exchangers in a clear and concise manner. This information includes experimental data, theoretical solutions, and empirical correlations. Accuracy and range of applicability of formulas/correlation

"I just received the new ASME book in the Renewable Energy Series. I am reading it and finding it useful and informative. Nice touch making this derivative product (from Energy and Power Generation Handbook) available for ASME in one of the strategic areas - it works. It is full of used and useful information, especially for younger engineers entering the Renewable Energy Field. It might be an excellent supplemental book for undergraduated energy courses as well. I have been working in these specific areas for the last decade of my career, and it provide new vistas for me. Good Job."
--John B. Kitto, Babcock & Wilcox, ret.
This second volume of the new ASME Press Book Series on Renewable Energy also edited by Dr. Rao and published by ASME Press is based on updated chapters from the classic 2011 Handbook of Energy and Power Generation in addition to new chapters appropriate for the title of this book. The discussions in this book cover varied aspects of Biomass and Waste Energy in use around the globe. Chapters 1 and 2 are revisions of chapters 14 and 15 of the 2011 ASME Handbook whereas chapters 3 through 5 are new chapters which deal with other aspects of Waste Energy. The book is addressed in over 200 pages with several graphics addressed by 9 experts from academia and practicing professionals from the U.S., and India. Global interest in Biomass and Waste Energy is apparent not only from the current usage but also from the untapped resources and its potential for greater usage. The book has an Index to help users easily navigate through the text and graphics.

Issued in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of ASME’s history and heritage committee, this new book collects, in a single place, historical contributions published over the past fifty years in ASME’s flagship magazine: Mechanical Engineering.
Included in its 425 pages are almost 70 articles about the history of mechanical engineering in the United States, including accounts of engineering in early America, biographies of prominent mechanical engineers (particularly those associated with ASME’s founding), and essays relating to the role of mechanical engineering in energy, aviation, and other aspects of human life. The book is richly illustrated with over 250 photographs and other images.
From its organization in 1880, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers has recorded the history of the mechanical engineering profession and the careers of some of its notable practitioners. These efforts were formalized in 1971 with the creation of a History and Heritage Committee.
In preparation for the United States’ bicentennial year, and later the Society’s centennial, the editors of Mechanical Engineering contracted with engineer-historian Fritz Hirschfeld for a long series of articles about the county’s early mechanical engineering heritage and the lives of notable mechanical engineers, particularly those associated with ASME’s founding. Hirschfeld’s articles form the foundation of this volume. To supplement Hirschfeld’s work, the editors have added numerous other historical articles published in the magazine.
The engineering innovations described by these articles have been enormously important to the development of modern technological society, and the stories behind their development should be of interest to engineers interested in the history of their profession, as well as anyone interested in American history.

NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY for the 21st CENTURY - MONOGRAPHS SERIES
Jovica Riznic, Series Editor
With more than 75 years of combined working experience in the area of reactor physics and safety, the intention of the authors of this monograph is to provide a practical book on reactor physics, particularly for the safe operation of aged CANDU reactors, with minimal mathematics or equations. The book gives a glimpse of first principles and their engineering application in reactor physics, for those who are interested in or are working in the Canadian nuclear industry. The book is also ideal as a reference for physicists, operators, regulatory staff, and for those who need to interact with reactor physicists at CANDU sites, nuclear laboratories, institutes, universities, or engineering companies.
This book assumes prior knowledge of nuclear physics offered at the secondary level. As very few equations appear in the monograph, it is not considered suitable for specialists whose focus is only on calculations or on the development of software on reactor physics. Such readers should refer to the books listed in the bibliography at the end of the monograph.

This book is a unique blend of history, technology review, theoretical fundamentals, and design guide. The subject matter is primarily piston aeroengine superchargers - developed in Germany during the Second World War (WWII) - which are centrifugal compressors driven either by the main engine crankshaft or by an exhaust gas turbine. The core of the book is an unpublished manuscript by Karl Kollmann, who was a prominent engineer at Daimler-Benz before and during the war.
Dr. Kollmann's manuscript was discovered by Calum Douglas during his extensive research for his earlier book on piston aeroengine development in WWII. It contains a wealth of information on aerothermodynamic and mechanical design of centrifugal compressors in the form of formulae, charts, pictures, and rules of thumb, which, even 75 years later, constitute a valuable resource for engineering professionals and students.
In addition to the translation of the original manuscript from German, the authors have completely overhauled the chapters on the aerothermodynamics of centrifugal compressors so that the idiosyncratic coverage (characteristic of German scientific literature at that time) is familiar to a modern reader. Furthermore, the authors added chapters on exhaust gas turbines (for turbo-superchargers)
Drawing upon previously unpublished material from the archived German documents, those chapters provide a concise but technically precise and informative look into those technologies, where great strides were made in Germany during the war. In summary, the coverage is intended to be useful not only to history buffs with a technical bent but also to the practicing engineers and engineering students to help with their day-to-day activities in this particular field of turbomachinery.
