Advances in Information Storage Systems: Selected Papers from the International Conference on Micromechatronics for Information and Precision Equipment (v. 9) Feature

Volume 9 of "Advances in Information Storage Systems" contains selected papers regarding not only information storage but also information equipment in general and related technologies. The papers were presented at the International Conference on Micromechatronics for Information and Precision Equipment (MIPE '97). This conference was held in Tokyo, Japan, from 20 to 23 July 1997, as one of the memorial events of the Centennial Grand Congress of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. Information and precision equipment is fast-changing high technology, and is necessary for the development of an international multimedia society and essential for the innovation of conventional machines as well as the creation of new sophisticated machines for future medical, biological and cosmic industries in the 21st century. Information and precision equipment can improve their performances by analysing, designing, fabricating, controlling and then utilizing a smaller and smaller world in space and time. The scope of the conference ranged from the micromechanics and micromechatronics of information storage, input/output devices, and precision equipment to microtechnologies related to information equipment. The papers in "Advances in Information Storage Systems" are mainly related to information storage, particularly magnetic recording storage. But some of them are related to printer, paper-feeding-mechanism and micromachine technologies, which will directly or indirectly contribute future information devices. Volume 9 contains papers on the mechanics and tribology of magnetic recording storage systems (mainly hard disk drives).

Air Cooling Technology for Electronic Equipment Feature

Clear your bookcase of references containing bits and pieces of useful information and replace them with this thorough, single-volume guide to thermal analysis. Air Cooling Technology for Electronic Equipment is a helpful, practical resource that answers questions frequently asked by thermal and packaging engineers grappling with today's demand for increased thermal control in electronics.

Superbly organized for quick reference, the book dedicates each chapter to answering fundamental questions, such as: What is the optimal spacing between the printed circuit boards? What is a good estimate of the heat transfer coefficient and the associate pressure drop for forced convection over package arrays? How are heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in the entrance region different from those in the fully developed region? What is the effect of substrate conduction on convection cooling?

The chapters, written by engineers and engineering educators who are experts in electronic cooling, are packed with details and present the latest developments in air cooling techniques and thermal design guidelines. They provide problem-solving analyses that are jargon-free, straightforward, and easy to understand. Air Cooling Technology for Electronic Equipment is a handy source of technical information for anyone who wants to get the most out of air cooling.

Piping and Pipelines Assessment Guide (Stationary Equipment Assessment) Feature

Whether it's called "fixed equipment" (at ExxonMobil), "stationary equipment" (at Shell), or "static equipment" (in Europe), this type of equipment is the bread and butter of any process plant. Used in the petrochemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, food processing industry, paper industry, and the manufacturing process industries, stationary equipment must be kept operational and reliable for companies to maintain production and for employees to be safe from accidents. This series, the most comprehensive of its kind, uses real-life examples and time-tested rules of thumb to guide the mechanical engineer through issues of reliability and fitness-for-service.

This volume on piping and pipeline assessment is the only handbook that the mechanical or pipeline engineer needs to assess pipes and pipelines for reliability and fitness-for-service.

* Provides essential insight to make informed decisions on when to run, alter, repair, monitor, or replace equipment
* How to perform these type of assessments and calculations on pipelines is a 'hot' issue in the petrochemical industry at this time
* There is very little information on the market right now for pipers and pipeliners with regard to pipe and pipeline fitness-for-service
