DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is dedicated to all employees who contributed to the Inonu-Pal laboratory established in Malatya Inonu University in 2007-2010. This first part of the 20 chapters of the book consists of information written by Cemil Koyunoğlu in his spare time between the years of 2015-2016 at the Istanbul Technical University, where he went to work for his doctoral dissertation. Only the first 6 chapters of the author's document have been technical edited by SAE International employee William Kucinski. I would like to thank Mônica Nogueira, William Kucinski and Mark P. DeAngelo for their help. Azerbaijan's Nargin Island was one of the places where Ottoman soldiers were captured during World War I. On the 101st anniversary of the Sarıkamış operation, a group from Kars was visited by the martyrs. Turkish pilot Vecihi Hürkuş was among those captured in the island.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFUEL ADDITIVES Explore a complete and insightful review of fuel additives In Fuel Additives: Chemistry and Technology, petroleum industry chemist R. D. Tack delivers a comprehensive and practical exploration of various types of fuel additives, the problems they’re meant to address, what they do, their chemistries and preparations, and a discussion of how they work. The book introduces and summarizes refinery operations to an extent that discussions of fuels in the following chapters become easier to understand. Then follow detailed descriptions of problems that occur for reasons of the ways in which liquid petroleum fuels are transported, stored, and used. In these discussions, their applications to jet fuel, heating oils, gasoline, diesel fuels, and bunker fuels are covered. Fuel Additives: Chemistry and Technology also includes: A thorough overview of fuels, including discussions of refinery operations and processes and the application of fuel additives Aids to the transportation and storage of liquid petroleum fuels: practical discussions of stabilizers against oxidative degradation, drag reducers, static dissipators, anti-foamants, demulsifiers, de-icers, and biocides Comprehensive explorations of fuel detergents, including their chemistries and proposals to their mechanisms of action In-depth examinations of cold flow improvers, with detailed descriptions of the waxing problems that they solve Combustion improvers that improve the efficiencies of fuel combustion in engines, burners, and particulate filters—while also reducing emissions Additives that protect metal surfaces against wear, by providing lubricity, and corrosion Perfect for chemists working in the petroleum industry, Fuel Additives: Chemistry and Technology will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals working in related areas and seeking a quick understanding of topics such as oxidative stability, corrosion, or wax crystallization since 1974.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNatural and Synthetic Waxes A compilation of all relevant information for the production and use of waxes in technical applications Waxes are among the oldest organic substances used by mankind. Before all others, beeswax is known to have played a role in human history for thousands of years. But over time, many other wax species have been detected and exploited, and prepared for different utilizations. Today, we possess knowledge of a great variety of different types of waxes. Unfortunately, there still is no broadly accepted definition of a wax: for the relatively few wax chemists, waxes are usually defined by their physico-chemical properties more than by their chemical constitution. Waxes are not uniform but oligomeric and polymeric substances, not simply describable with a chemical formula. The realm of waxes encompasses fully or partly natural, refined, partly or fully synthetic products, which can be extended by “wax-like” products which do not fulfil all definition criteria. Waxes are offered in different forms like pellets, granules, powders, or micropowders. Their number of technical applications runs into thousands. However, waxes in most cases are just adjuvants or additives, and with few exceptions like candles not known to a broader public. Only few publications over the last decades tried to present a more comprehensive overview of heir chemistry, chemical composition, their physical and analytical properties, their applications, and their sometimes astonishing history. Based on personal experience and expertise, the authors intend to present an overview on the main classes of waxes, their origin, history, future, and potential fate. Economical aspects like market size and development, ecological impacts and challenges, and regulatory issues are also addressed. Waxes are indispensable products in everyday life and in industry and technology, though mostly not even visible or distinguishable to experts. They deserve more than the role of a “poor cousin” in chemistry and technology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book presents a comprehensive, ordered relationship between malfunctions and symptoms occurring in large turbogenerators. With this book, the operator and/or engineer in a generating station could identify underlying causes of a developing component degradation or a failure quicker, which could potentially save both time and money and reduce the trial-and-error troubleshooting process. Large turbogenerators are the most important source of electricity. They can be found in thousands of power stations in every country. Forced outages, failures and degradation of these very expensive machines have an enormous aggregate cost to society. As such, any tool that can ameliorate loss of production by shaving time from troubleshooting activities, and avoiding unnecessary costs by detecting and promptly responding to component degradation, represents a step forward.
