Advances in Information Storage Systems Feature

Advances in information storage systems (AISS) series was initated by ASME Press, New York with a first issue published in April 1991. ASME Press published a total of five volumes in 1991-93. In 1994, World Scientific Publishing Co. Private Limited took over the highly respected series and published volume number 6 in 1995. This volume number 7 is the second volume published by World Scientific Publishing. The aim of the series remains to report the latest results from around the world in all the electromechanical, materials science, design and manufacturing problems of information storage systems (magnetic and optical). All articles in each volume are of international archival quality refereed according to rigorous journal standards by the editors and their reviewers. The series will continue to be published with a frequency of one per year. One hundred and fifty five articles have been published in the first six volumes. This volume contains 27 articles that cover various aspects of information storage and processing industry organized into three parts: micromechanical characterization of component materials; mechanics and tribology for data storage systems; dynamics and controls for data storage systems.

Tribology and Mechanics of Magnetic Storage Devices Feature

The increasing demand for high-density highly reliable magnetic recording requires a fundamental understanding of the tribology and mechanics of the interface between the magnetic head and the recording medium. This book offers a systematic compilation of current knowledge of tribology and mechanics as applied to magnetic storage devices. It treats all important practical aspects, including surface roughness, friction, interface temperatures, wear, lubrication, lubricants, and surface finishing. It incorporates ample experimental data and relevant properties of materials and surfaces, making the book invaluable for engineers and scientists working in the field. Intended for practicing engineers who need to solve reliability or tribology problems quickly, the book will also be useful for research workers, academic engineers, and graduate students in tribology and mechanics. Most of the theoretical results presented are broadly applicable in many areas of mechanical engineering. A chapter on microtribology of magnetic storage devices has been added in this second edition of the book.

Hydrogen Fuel: Production, Transport, and Storage Feature

From Methane to Hydrogen—Making the Switch to a Cleaner Fuel Source

The world’s overdependence on fossil fuels has created environmental problems, such as air pollution and global warming, as well as political and economic unrest. With water as its only by-product and its availability in all parts of the world, hydrogen promises to be the next great fuel source.

All of the Key Aspects of Hydrogen Fuel

Hydrogen Fuel: Production, Transport, and Storage describes various aspects of hydrogen fuel, including production from both renewable and nonrenewable sources, purification, storage, transport, safety, codes, and carbon dioxide sequestration. The book examines the unique properties and uses of the hydrogen molecule, its ability to be produced from numerous energy sources, and its separation and purification. It explains how to transport hydrogen using pipelines and tankers and how to store it using compressed tanks, metal hydrides, carbon adsorbents, and chemical hydrides. The expert contributors also discuss codes and standards, monitoring techniques, and safety designs.

The Path to a Cleaner World and Energy Independence

Focusing on a clean, economical alternative to nonrenewable energy, this volume provides the latest information on the hydrogen fuel economy.
