Compact Heat Exchangers: Selection, Design, and Operation, Second Edition, is fully revised to present the most recent and fundamental ideas and industrial concepts in compact heat exchanger technology. This complete reference compiles all aspects of theory, design rules, operational issues, and the most recent developments and technological advancements in compact heat exchangers.  New to this edition is the inclusion of micro, sintered, and porous passage description and data, electronic cooling, and an introduction to convective heat transfer fundamentals. New revised content provides up-to-date coverage of industrially available exchangers, recent fouling theories, and reactor types, with summaries of off-design performance and system effects and installations issues in, for example, automobiles and aircraft.  Hesselgreaves covers previously neglected approaches, such as the Second Law (of Thermodynamics), pioneered by Bejan and co-workers. The justification for this is that there is increasing interest in life-cycle and sustainable approaches to industrial activity as a whole, often involving exergy (Second Law) analysis. Heat exchangers, being fundamental components of energy and process systems, are both savers and spenders of energy, according to interpretation.Contains revised content, covering industrially available exchangers, recent fouling theories, and reactor typesIncludes useful comparisons throughout with conventional heat exchangers to emphasize the benefits of CPHE applicationsProvides a thorough system view from commissioning, operation, maintenance, and design approaches to reduce fouling and fouling factorsCompiles all aspects of theory, design rules, operational issues, and the most recent developments and technological advancements in compact heat exchangers

Dispersal in Plants: A Population Perspective

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully integrates a rapidly expanding body of theoretical and empirical research. · The first comprehensive treatment of plant dispersal set within a population framework · Examines both the processes and consequence of dispersal · Spans the entire range of research, from natural history and collection of empirical data to modeling and evolutionary theory · Provides a clear and simple explanation of mathematical concepts Dispersal in Plants is aimed principally at graduates interested in plant ecology, although given the strong current interests in invasive species and global change it will also be of interest and use to a broad audience of plant scientists and ecologists seeking an authoritative overview of this rapidly expanding field.

The Millennium is at hand! And with it, the third and final coming of the savior and rescue of the faithful from this cursed and ruined planet. This time, the community of believers will not be left behind! Or will it? The triumphal and perfectly assured body of believers, the Third Comers, the new rulers of a community that calls itself “Israel,” devoutly expect deliverance. They look upon the long ago atomic catastrophe (called by others the “Dissolution”) as an aborted second coming, and they seek to assure a savior’s “third coming” by forceful suppression, conversion, or destruction of all skeptics and unbelievers. But arrayed against this zealous sect is another group, the “Old Believers,” whose discipline and philosophical tradition are the legacy of an ancient teacher known as St. Supplicee. Rather than looking to a supernatural escape, the Old Believers invest their hope in strict training, rationality, and accepting the world as it is. Josiah, an Old Believer and a soldier at the very outset of his career, is swept up into the conflict of his people against the swarming Messiahist faction; he emerges as their champion and leader. To his partisans, Josiah is a hero and the last, best hope to stave off catastrophe; to his enemies, he is the catastrophe. In telling the story of his fortunes in war and revolution, in betrayal and love, Josiah recounts experiences that challenge both his own beliefs and the assumptions of his culture―and that eventually threaten his very sense of self. Externally, Josiah¹s story takes on epic dimensions; internally, his tale is about the bone-deep need to live in an intelligible world.

In the wake of yet another spree killing in the UK, the authors ask: should our gun laws be made any tighter?         The answer's an unequivocal No. The UK's firearms laws are already inconsistent and profoundly illogical. Their administration has turned into a massive bureaucratic job-creation scheme, and is a disgrace to the police service. And if that's not enough for you, they have been unlawful since 1998, as well as unconstitutional. With caustic wit, the authors look into the deep background of the law, the ever-more restrictive, knee-jerk measures of the 20th century, bizarre prosecutions, and at the rational legal decisions that police and bureaucrats routinely ignore. And they show how each new curb on firearms ownership has resulted in yet more guns joining the pool of 'illegal' unregistered weapons. Then they deliver their programme for wholesale reform. They argue for disposing of the current prohibitions (such as the pointless ban on handguns), setting up a national firearms agency, and generally making it easier for people to own guns. Most important, they show how a relaxation of British gun laws will actually be simpler, cheaper, and safer than the present self-defeating shambles.
