The primary mission of the third edition of Handbook of Food Engineering is to provide the information needed for efficient design and development of processes used in the manufacturing of food products, along with supplying the traditional background on these processes. The new edition focuses on the thermophysical properties of food and the rate constants of change in food components during processing. It highlights the use of these properties and constants in process design. In addition to chapters on the properties of food and food ingredients, the book has a new...

Although the extraction of oil and gas from the bottom of the sea began more than 40 years ago, new technology has led to a rapid expansion of drilling and production in deep and ultra-deep waters, which holds the key for the oil security of any nation. This book provides comprehensive coverage of offshore oil and gas operations, including various aspects of drilling and production. It also covers offshore environments and discusses the major differences in working offshore versus onshore.

Traditional microbiology has used plate-counting in the lab. This book presents novel fast and automated techniques to quantify bacterial contamination of liquids within minutes to hours, making monitoring, and even process control based on microbiology, feasible for increased safety, security, and cost savings. This book covers enzymatic and molecular techniques from those at an early stage of development to emerging and established techniques.

Urea-SCR Technology for deNOx After Treatment of Diesel Exhausts presents a complete overview of the

selective catalytic reduction of NOx by ammonia/urea. The book starts with

an illustration of the technology in the framework of the current context (legislation,

market, system configurations), covers the fundamental aspects of the SCR process

(catalysts, chemistry, mechanism, kinetics) and analyzes its application to useful topics

such as modeling of full scale monolith catalysts, control aspects, ammonia injections

systems and integration...

This unique book covers the latest surface science studies on model catalysts, including single crystals, non-colloidal nanocatalysts, and nanoparticles in various forms with the control of size, shape and composition. This book addresses the issue of bridging materials and pressure gaps and also discusses the important issue of metal-oxide interface and hot electron flows in heterogeneous catalysis. The current development of in-situ surface techniques that is relevant to bridging pressure gaps is also highlighted.

Methanol - The Chemical and Energy Feedstock of the Future offers a visionary yet unbiased view of methanol technology. Based on the groundbreaking 1986 publication "Methanol" by Friedrich Asinger, this book includes contributions by more than 40 experts from industry and academia. The authors and editors provide a comprehensive exposition of methanol chemistry and technology which is useful for a wide variety of scientists working in chemistry and energy related industries as well as academic researchers and even decision-makers and organisations concerned with the future of chemical and...

The functionality and control of biological systems and nanostructured (bio)assemblies have been under intense investigation over recent years, in view of developing a detailed understanding of ultrafast nanoscale energy and charge transfer, as well as fostering novel technologies based on sustainable energy resources. This book provides a combined experimental and theoretical spotlight on the molecular-level investigation of light-induced quantum processes in these systems and introduces the reader to cutting-edge developments in ultrafast nonlinear optical spectroscopies and the...

This thesis presents a theoretical and experimental approach for the rapid fabrication, optimization and testing of holographic sensors for the quantification of pH, organic solvents, metal cations, and glucose in solutions.

Developing non-invasive and reusable diagnostics sensors that can be easily manufactured will support the monitoring of high-risk individuals in any clinical or point-of-care setting. Sensor fabrication approaches outlined include silver-halide chemistry, laser ablation and photopolymerization. The sensors employ off-axis Bragg diffraction gratings of ordered...

James Lee Fergason changed your life, though you probably did not know it. He invented the twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD), ubiquitously used today in the screens of smart phones, calculators, iPods, flat-screen TVs, digital watches, laptop and tablet computers, medical equipment, and many other devices. Jim was one of the America's most prolific inventors, holding more than 150 U.S. patents and...

In our environmentally-conscious present, effective wastewater treatment processes consistently play a major role in determining the continued health and prosperity of global communities, affecting larger matters of environmental reform, governmental administration, and models of public safety. To the ever-expanding field of wastewater treatment theory, Dr. Davide Dionisi contributes this insightful guide examining the use of mass and heat balances to simulate and design biological wastewater treatment processes. All these processes and more are covered in Dr. Dionisi s Biological...
