This indispensable book describes lubricant additives, their synthesis, chemistry, and mode of action. All important areas of application are covered, detailing which lubricants are needed for a particular application. Laboratory and field performance data for each application is provided and the design of cost-effective, environmentally friendly technologies is fully explored. This edition includes new chapters on chlorohydrocarbons, foaming chemistry and physics, antifoams for nonaqueous lubricants, hydrogenated styrene-diene viscosity modifiers, alkylated aromatics, and the impact of...

Quality Management in Plastics Processing provides a structured approach to the techniques of quality management, also covering topics of relevance to plastics processors. The book's focus isn't just on implementation of formal quality systems, such as ISO 9001, but about real world, practical guidance in establishing good quality management. Ultimately, improved quality management delivers better products, higher customer satisfaction, increased sales, and reduced operation costs.

The book helps practitioners who are wondering how to begin implementing quality management...

This book features extensive coverage of all Distributed Energy Generation technologies, highlighting the technical, environmental and economic aspects of distributed resource integration, such as line loss reduction, protection, control, storage, power electronics, reliability improvement, and voltage profile optimization. It explains how electric power system planners, developers, operators, designers, regulators and policy makers can derive many benefits with increased penetration of distributed generation units into smart distribution networks.

Advanced Machining Processes of Metallic Materials: Theory, Modelling and Applications, Second Edition, explores the metal cutting processes with regard to theory and industrial practice. Structured into three parts, the first section provides information on the fundamentals of machining, while the second and third parts include an overview of the effects of the theoretical and experimental considerations in high-level machining technology and a summary of production outputs related to part quality.

In particular, topics discussed include: modern tool materials, mechanical,...

Multi-body Kinematics and Dynamics with Lie Groups starts with an overview of the practical aspects of Lie groups based on the example of rotation groups and the Euclidean group which may be used in problems of kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies. The book includes exercises allowing the reader to get familiar with this mathematical framework. For the more experienced readers, theoretical results that have appeared in some scientific articles are also included. For example, a complete classification of singularities of mechanisms is developed through exercises.
