This introduction to transport phenomena in materials engineering balances an explanation of the fundamentals governing fluid flow and the transport of heat and mass with their common applications to specific systems in materials engineering. It introduces the influences of properties and geometry on fluid flow using familiar fluids such as air and water. Covers topics such as engineering units and pressure in static fluids; momentum transport and laminar flow of Newtonian fluids; equations of continuity and conservation of momentum and fluid flow past submerged objects; turbulent flow; mechanical energy balance and its application to fluid flow; transport of heat by conduction; transport of heat by convection; transient heat flow; heat transport by thermal radiation; mass transport in the solid state by diffusion; mass transport in fluids. Includes extensive appendices.

Forensic Investigation of Explosions (International Forensic Science and Investigation)

Now in its second edition, Forensic Investigation of Explosions draws on the editor’s 30 years of explosives casework experience, including his work on task forces set up to investigate major explosives incidents. Dr. Alexander Beveridge provides a broad, multidisciplinary approach, assembling the contributions of internationally recognized experts who present the definitive reference work on the subject.\nTopics discussed include:\nThe physics and chemistry of explosives and explosions\nThe detection of hidden explosives\nThe effect of explosions on structures and persons\nAircraft sabotage investigations\nExplosion scene investigations\nCasework management\nThe role of forensic scientists\nAnalysis of explosives and their residues\nForensic pathology as it relates to explosives\nPresentation of expert testimony\nWith nearly 40 percent more material, this new edition contains revised chapters and several new topics, including:\nA profile of casework management in the UK Forensic Explosives Laboratory, one of the world’s top labs, with a discussion of their management system, training procedures, and practical approaches to problem solving\nProperties and analysis of improvised explosives\nAn examination of the Bali bombings and the use of mobile analytical techniques and mobile laboratories\nThe collection, analysis, and presentation of evidence in vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cases, as evidenced in attacks on US overseas targets\nThis volume offers valuable information to all members of prevention and post-blast teams. Each chapter was written by an expert or experts in a specific field and provides well-referenced information underlying best practices that can be used in the field, laboratory, conference room, classroom, or courtroom.

This cutting-edge reference represents a new phase in the talkRA project―an initiative dedicated to improving the discipline of revenue assurance (RA) for communication providers. From blog to podcasts and now a book, the project offers a platform for a select group of RA experts to share ideas and best practices in revenue assurance, revenue management, business intelligence, and fraud prevention in telecommunications and other industries. Drawing on the expertise and insights of some of the leading minds in RA, Revenue Assurance: Expert Opinions for Communications Providers supplies high-powered ideas and techniques for the effective management, planning, strategy formulation, and measurement of RA performance. Presented as a series of articles on current and emerging topics of interest, it provides extensive and multi-faceted guidance to help readers move up the scale from basic checks to optimizing performance. <ul>
<li>Covers the fundamentals of revenue assurance</li> <li>Explains the relationship between revenue assurance and fraud management and how revenue assurance sits within the wider context of enterprise risk management and the control environment</li> <li>Provokes readers to think of creative ways to adapt RA to the needs of their business, whether they are initiating the RA process or seeking to take an established RA function to the next level</li> <li>Shows how to measure the financial benefits delivered by the RA team and how to appraise the RA maturity of the whole business</li> <li>Illustrates how to perform root cause analysis through Q&amp;A discussion of how top experts deal with a variety of leakages</li> <li>Identifies trends in how RA techniques are changing, and links these to developments in tools and technology</li> <li>Entertains through sympathetic and sometimes irreverently humorous observations about the working life of an RA practitioner</li> </ul> The book provides an analysis of the drivers for RA products and services, enabling RA suppliers and consultants to compare their competitive offerings with what customers really want and need. Complete with real-world tips and case examples, it supplies the well-rounded understanding that will enable you to best fit the needs of your business and best support its objectives. This book will give you the confidence to determine the most effective and efficient methods to achieve and maintain healthy revenue streams in the ever-changing landscape of electronic communications. Praise for: ... draws upon the actual experience of a number of RA professionals―those who have actually lived through the journey, learned from setbacks, and adapted their approaches to determine best practices in the field. ―Julian Hebden, Director of Enterprise Information Management, Telstra
