A complete, fully revised HVAC design reference

Thoroughly updated with the latest codes, technologies, and practices, this all-in-one resource provides details, calculations, and specifications for designing efficient and effective residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems.

In the almost sixty years since the publication of the first edition of HVAC Engineer's Handbook, it has become widely known as a highly useful and definitive reference for HVAC engineers and technicians alike, and those working on domestic hot and cold water services, gas supply and steam services.

The 11th edition continues in the tradition of previous editions, being easily transportable and therefore an integral part of the HVAC engineer or technician's daily tools.

The definitive guide to HVAC design—thoroughly revised for the latest technologies

This handbook covers basic concepts in mechanical engineering and mechatronics, including stress and strain, mechanics of solids, internal combustion engines, refrigeration, fluid mechanics, control systems, actuation, robotics, electro-mechanical systems, hydraulics, and more. 

The second volume of the series is devoted to applications of mechatronics in material processing and robotics. Both classical machining methods, such as extrusion, forging and milling, and modern ones, such as plasma and ultrasonic machining, are analyzed. 

An extensive part covers the modeling of these processes, also from a phenomenological point of view. The study analyzes the issues related to robotics in various technological processes as well.

The subject of the first volume is the issues related to the components and systems of transport machines. Motor vehicle systems tests are described: suspension dampers, steering, brakes and differentials. Design issues of machine elements operating in extreme conditions are also addressed. 

Le premier ouvrage de référence complet sur la mécatronique, The Mechatronics Handbook, a rapidement été adopté comme la référence absolue dans ce domaine. Des machines à laver aux cafetières, en passant par les téléphones portables et les PC omniprésents dans presque tous les foyers, qu'est-ce qui, de nos jours, ne tire pas parti de la mécatronique dans sa conception et ses fonctions ? Dans les cinq années à peine qui se sont écoulées depuis la publication initiale du manuel, la dernière génération de produits intelligents a rendu cela encore plus évident.

This text by Shetty and Kolk, blends the pertinent aspects of mechatronics--system modeling, simulation, sensors, actuation, real-time computer interfacing, and control--into a single unified result suitable for use in the college-level mechatronic curriculum. 

The term "mechatronics" was coined in 1969, merging "mecha" from mechanism and "tronics" from electronics, to reflect the original idea at the basis of this discipline, that is, the integration of electrical and mechanical systems into a single device. The spread of this term, and of mechatronics itself, has been growing in the years, including new aspects and disciplines, like control engineering, computer engineering and communication/information engineering.
