Geometric and Engineering Drawing 3rd Ed

SIZE: 2MB 360 PAGES Download link: http://bit.ly/2gaafQA Preface Our world has become one where computers are used to solve many problems quickly and accurately. We use calculators to solve arithmetical problems, word pro-cessors to check spelling and grammar in texts and computer-aided design (C.A.D.) programs to do much of our drawing for us. However, in the same way that we need to know what ϩ , Ϫ , ϫ and ÷ mean when we press that symbol on a calculator, and we need to be able to write a text before we can ask a word processor to check it, in the same way we need knowledge and understanding of geometric and engineering drawing before we can use computers to help us with design. These understandings can come through studying and using this book. This third edition starts with and introduces the tools needed for technical draw-ing, with some basic exercises that will help you to practise these skills. Pa...

Handbook of Renewable Energy Technology

SIZE: 31 MB 874 PAGES Download link: http://bit.ly/2gFNpUm Preface Effects of environmental, economic, social, political and technical factors have led to the rapid deployment of various sources of renewable energy-based power generation. The incorporation of these generation technologies have led to the development of a broad array of new methods and tools to integrate this new form of generation into the power system network. This book, arranged into six sections, tries to highlight various renewable energy based generation technologies. Section 1 provides a general overview of the wind power technology, where the classification of wind turbines based on generators, power electronic converters, and grid connection is described in detail. In Chapter 1, the fundamentals of wind power systems and their design aspects are presented; the modeling methods ofthe wind phenomenon and turbine mechanical system are described in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 presents modeling and in...
