Microwave Integrated Circuits Jun 12, 2015 This chapter from Microwave Circuit Design: A Practical Approach Using ADS discusses the classification of microwave integrated circuits and the use of microwave circuits in a communication system.

Introduction to Petroleum Reservoirs and Reservoir Engineering Aug 19, 2014 This chapter from Applied Petroleum Reservoir Engineering, 3rd Edition introduces petroleum reservoirs and discusses the history of reservoir engineering, terminology, reservoir types defined with reference to phase diagrams, production from petroleum reservoirs, and Peak Oil.

Introduction to Polymer Science Aug 6, 2014 This chapter introduces the basics of polymer science, including classification of polymers, polymer structure, molecular weight, chemical structure, and thermal transitions.

The Role of Petroleum Production Engineering Dec 24, 2012 The authors of "Petroleum Production Systems, 2nd Edition" discuss production engineering, the part of petroleum engineering that attempts to maximize production (or injection) in a cost-effective manner.

Diagrams for Understanding Chemical Processes Jul 3, 2012 This chapter covers different types of chemical process diagrams, how these diagrams represent different scales of process views, one consistent method for drawing process flow diagrams, the information to be included in a process flow diagram, and the purpose of operator training simulators and recent advances in 3-D representation of different chemical processes.

Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts Mar 8, 2012 The authors introduce the two basic premises of the first and second "laws" of thermodynamics: overall energy is conserved (you can't get something for nothing) and overall entropy changes are greater than or equal to zero (generation of disorder results in lost work).

Sustainable Engineering: An Introduction to Sustainability Jan 26, 2012 Engineers in the 21st century will need to design for energy efficiency, mass efficiency, and low environmental emissions. Both near and long-term steps are needed reduce fossil resource consumption and approach zero waste generation from engineered processes and products.

Understanding Digital Signal Processing: Discrete Sequences and Systems Nov 15, 2010 In this introduction to his book, Richard G. Lyons defines the terminology used in digital signal processing, illustrates the various ways of graphically representing discrete signals, establishes the notation used to describe sequences of data values, presents the symbols used to depict signal processing operations, and briefly introduces the concept of a linear discrete system.
