Advanced Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer for Engineers and Scientists / Meinhard T. Schobeiri

Public ISBD Titre : Advanced Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer for Engineers and Scientists Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Meinhard T. Schobeiri, Auteur Editeur : Springer Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 584 p Présentation : couv.ill.fig.tab.réfe Format : 23.5 x15.5 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-030-72927-1 Prix : 16 500,00 DA Note générale : Introduction.- Vector and Tensor Analysis, Applications.- Kinematics of Fluid Motion.- Differential Balances in Fluid Mechanics.- Integral Balances in Fluid Mechanics.- Inviscid Potential Flows.- Viscous Laminar Flow.- Laminar-Turbulent Transition.- Turbulent Flow, Modeling.- Free Turbulent Flow.- Boundary Layer Aerodynamics.- Boundary Layer Heat Transfer.- Compressible Flow.- Flow Measurement Techniques, Calibration.- Heat Transfer. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The current book, Advanced Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer is based on author's four decades of industrial and academic research in the area of thermofluid sciences including fluid mechanics, aero-thermodynamics, heat transfer and their applications to engineering systems. Fluid mechanics and heat transfer are inextricably intertwined and both are two integral parts of one physical discipline. No problem from fluid mechanics that requires the calculation of the temperature can be solved using the system of Navier-Stokes and continuity equations only. Conversely, no heat transfer problem can be solved using the energy equation only without using the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations. The fact that there is no book treating this physical discipline as a unified subject in a single book that considers the need of the engineering and physics community, motivated the author to write this book. It is primarily aimed at students of engineering, physics and those practicing professionals who perform aero-thermo-heat transfer design tasks in the industry and would like to deepen their knowledge in this area. The contents of this new book covers the material required in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Graduate Core Courses in the US universities. It also covers the major parts of the Ph. D-level elective courses Advanced Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer that the author has been teaching at Texas A& M University for the past three decades.

Affordable Housing as a Profitable Impact Investment: / Deepiga Vigneswaran

Public ISBD Titre : Affordable Housing as a Profitable Impact Investment: Autre titre : An International Comparison of Real Estate Strategies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Deepiga Vigneswaran, Auteur Editeur : Springer Année de publication : 2022 Collection : Contributions to Finance Accounting Importance : 123p Présentation : couv.ill.fig.tab.bib.ind Format : 22.5x15cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-031-07090-7 Prix : 12 900,00da Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The challenges of affordable housing are manifold. However this presents an opportunity to private investors, real estate companies, and developers. With the growing global trend for impact-based investments, many institutional investors have begun to consider the merits of this asset class. This book examines not only the profitability of these assets, but also whether these assets rely on government subsidy. It discusses why investors have become more interested in this product and which investment criteria influence the financial performance of these assets. The authors employed a mixed method approach to collect data at two tiers, first through surveys and afterwards through interviews of 8 firms (3 publicly listed companies, 3 private equity companies, 1 foundation, and 1 state bank) across Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Investment criteria are analyzed using inferential statistics, specifically the Hierarchical Algorithm Cluster Analysis. The financial characteristics of the companies are examined and compared using descriptive statistics and the qualitative interview output is explored using the thematic Latent Coding Analysis. Furthermore, the book explains how the bond-like nature of affordable housing is a profitable impact investment option, and how this strategy is particularly worthwhile for institutional investors. It also describes that profitability of affordable housing products is not dependent on subsidy. Still, affordable housing products supported by government incentives in the United Kingdom and United States are most attractive. The book illustrates six important investment strategies identified by veterans in this field to have an influence on the financial feasibility of affordable housing products.

Part I Being an Effective Student Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The text introduces engineering to first-year undergraduate students using Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL). It draws on several different inquiry-based instruction types such as confirmation inquiry, structured inquiry, guided inquiry, and open inquiry, and all of their common elements. Professor Blum’s approach emphasizes the student’s role in the learning process, empowering them in the classroom to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas, instead of the instructor lecturing to passive learners about what they need to know. Beginning with a preface to IBL, the book is organized into three parts, each consisting of four to ten chapters. Each chapter has a dedicated topic where an initial few paragraphs of introductory or fundamental material are provided. This is followed by a series of focused questions that guide the students’ learning about the concept(s) being taught. Featuring multiple inquiry-based strategies, each most appropriate to the topic, An Inquiry-Based Approach to Introduction to Engineering stands as an easy to use textbook that quickly allows students to actively engage with the content during every class period.

Part I Being an Effective Student Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The text introduces engineering to first-year undergraduate students using Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL). It draws on several different inquiry-based instruction types such as confirmation inquiry, structured inquiry, guided inquiry, and open inquiry, and all of their common elements. Professor Blum’s approach emphasizes the student’s role in the learning process, empowering them in the classroom to explore the material, ask questions, and share ideas, instead of the instructor lecturing to passive learners about what they need to know. Beginning with a preface to IBL, the book is organized into three parts, each consisting of four to ten chapters. Each chapter has a dedicated topic where an initial few paragraphs of introductory or fundamental material are provided. This is followed by a series of focused questions that guide the students’ learning about the concept(s) being taught. Featuring multiple inquiry-based strategies, each most appropriate to the topic, An Inquiry-Based Approach to Introduction to Engineering stands as an easy to use textbook that quickly allows students to actively engage with the content during every class period.
