1 Title : The finite element method in heat transfer and
fluid dynamics
Author : J.N. Reddy, D.K. Gartling.
- As Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Heat
Transfer (CHT) evolve and become increasingly important in standard
engineering design and analysis practice, users require a solid
understanding of mechanics and numerical methods to make optimal
use of available software. The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer
and Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition illustrates what a user must know to
ensure the optimal application of computational procedures—
particularly the Finite Element Method (FEM)—to important problems
associated with heat conduction, incompressible viscous flows, and
convection heat transfer.

2 Title : Intelligent Control Systems with an Introduction
to System of Systems Engineering
Author : Thrishantha Nanayakkara, Ferat Sahin,
Mo Jamshidi.
- Intelligent Control Systems with an Introduction to System of
Systems Engineering integrates the fundamentals of artificial
intelligence and systems control in a framework applicable to both
simple dynamic systems and large-scale system of systems (SoS). For
decades, NASA has used SoS methods, and major manufacturers—
including Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop-Grumman, Raytheon, BAE
Systems—now make large-scale systems integration and SoS a key part
of their business strategies, dedicating entire business units to this
remarkably efficient approach.

2. 3 Title : Vibration-based condition monitoring :
industrial, aerospace and automotive applications
Author : Robert Bond Randall
- Explaining complex ideas in an easy to understand way, Vibration-based
Condition Monitoring provides a comprehensive survey of the application
of vibration analysis to the condition monitoring of machines. Reflecting
the natural progression of these systems by presenting the fundamental
material and then moving onto detection, diagnosis and prognosis,
Randall presents classic and state-of-the-art research results that cover
vibration signals from rotating and reciprocating machines; basic signal
processing techniques; fault detection; diagnostic techniques, and
prognostics. Game-theoretic tools can be applied in each setting. In
order to emphasize the broad potential scope of the theory,
conventional applications from industrial organization have been largely
replaced by applications from labor, macro, and other applied fields in
economics.

4 Title : Decision making in systems engineering and
management
Editor : Gregory S. Parnell, Patrick J. Driscoll,
Dale L. Henderson
- Decision Making in Systems Engineering and Management is
a comprehensive textbook that provides a logical process and analytical
techniques for fact-based decision making for the most challenging
systems problems. Grounded in systems thinking and based on sound
systems engineering principles, the systems decisions process (SDP)
leverages multiple objective decision analysis, multiple attribute value
theory, and value-focused thinking to define the problem, measure
stakeholder value, design creative solutions, explore the decision trade
off space in the presence of uncertainty, and structure successful
solution implementation. In addition to classical systems engineering
problems, this approach has been successfully applied to a wide range
of challenges including personnel recruiting, retention, and management;
strategic policy analysis; facilities design and management; resource
allocation; information assurance; security systems design; and other
settings whose structure can be conceptualized as a system.

3. 5 Title : Equilibrium theory in infinite dimensional
spaces
Editor : M. Ali Khan, Nicholas C. Yannelis (eds.).
- The purpose of this monograph is to study several solution concepts
such as the Walrasian Equilibrium, the Pareto opti- mality, the Core, the
Nash Equilibrium and the Correlated equilibrium in the context of an
infinite dimensional commodity or strategy space. Of course, the study
of the above equilibrium notions in an infinite dimensional commodity
or strategy space not only requires novel technical arguments and a
modification and correction of much of our finite-dimensional intuition
about these concepts, but this point also goes the other way; a
successful formulation of the outstanding questions has also
necessitated the creation of new mathematics. Some of the
contributions in this volume also present a flavor of these technical
advances that have been made in the last twenty years.

graduate textbook,covering modern thermal devices such as heat sinks,
thermoelectric generators and coolers, heat pipes, and heat exchangers
as design components in larger systems. These devices are becoming
increasingly important and fundamental in thermal design across such
diverse areas as microelectronic cooling, green or thermal energy
conversion, and thermal control and management in space, etc.

7 Title : Intelligent instrumentation: principles and
applications
Author : Manabendra Bhuyan.
• Emphasizes basic design principles and applications of intelligent
sensors using case studies and numerical examples
• Discusses signal processing operations such as linearization,
calibration, and compensation on which intelligent sensors rely
• Investigates artificial intelligence as a critical component of
intelligent sensors in real world applications
• Uses MATLAB programs to validate design approaches
With the advent of microprocessors and digital-processing technologies
as catalyst, classical sensors capable of simple signal conditioning

4. operations have evolved rapidly to take on higher and more specialized
functions including validation, compensation, and classification. This new
category of sensor expands the scope of incorporating intelligence into
instrumentation systems, yet with such rapid changes, there has
developed no universal standard for design, definition, or requirement
with which to unify intelligent instrumentation.

9 Title : Energy storage: a new approach
Author : Ralph Zito.
- Energy Storage: A New Approach presents practical solutions to the
problem of energy storage on a massive scale. This revolutionary book
describes technologies that include basic chemical concepts that
engineers have been practicing for years, but presents new material that
could transform the energy industry. Regardless where power is
generated from—oil, natural gas, coal, solar, wind, or any of the other
emerging sources— energy storage is something that the industry MUST
learn and practice. With the world energy demand increasing, mostly
due to industrial growth in China and India, and with the West becoming
increasingly more interested in fuel efficiency and “green” endeavors,
energy storage is potentially a key technology in our energy future.

5. 10 Title : Steam power engineering : thermal and
hydraulic design principles
Editor : Seikan Ishigai.
- Originally published in 1999, this book takes a probing and specialist
look at the many important advances which occurred in steam power in
the fifteen years leading up to its publication. Large power plants as well
as small-capacity boilers became more efficient and reliable, and their
design and operation were enhanced by the application of modern
computational techniques. This book provides a comprehensive review
of such developments in steam power engineering. It discusses
thermohydraulic principles and processes, with an emphasis on practical
problems of steam power plant design and operation. Among topics
covered are historical analysis, cycle design, thermal and hydraulic
design of heating surfaces, pollutant control, and flow instability, from
which are deduced strategies for further development. Originally
intended for both students and engineers, the book treats realistic
problems and offers a wealth of valuable insight into the design of large
and small steam power plants.

Title : Introduction to finite element vibration analysis
Author : Maurice Petyt.
- There are many books on finite element methods but few give more
than a brief description of their application to structural vibration
analysis. This book presents an introduction to the mathematical basis of
finite element analysis as applied to vibrating systems. Finite element
analysis is a technique that is very important in modeling the response
of structures to dynamic loads. Although this book assumes no previous
knowledge of finite element methods, those who do have knowledge
will still find the book to be useful. It can be utilized by aeronautical,
civil, mechanical, and structural engineers as well as naval architects.

6. This second edition includes information on the many developments
that have taken place over the last twenty years. Existing chapters have
been expanded where necessary, and three new chapters have been
included that discuss the vibration of shells and multi-layered elements
and provide an introduction to the hierarchical finite element method.
