Auf dem Gebiet der Ventilatoren ist in jiingster Zeit ein unerwarte- ter Aufschwung eingetreten, der auf die Losung verschiedener stro- mungstechnischer Probleme zuriickzufiihren ist. Die Entwicklung war so rasch, daB plotzlich ein Wirkungsgrad von 90% bei kleiner Bauart er- reieht wurde. Infolgedessen gewann die bis dahin stiefmiitterlich be- handelte Maschinengruppe ganz erheblich an Interesse, was auch durch Dbersetzungen des Buches in mehrere fremde Sprachen zum Ausdruek gekommen ist. Es diirfte nunmehr der geeignete Zeitpunkt sein, das Gesamtgebiet in straffer Form neu darzustellen. Ieh habe vieles umgearbeitet, man- ehes Entbehrliche gestrichen und zahlenmaBige Ergebnisse neuer Ver- suche fUr den Praktiker aufgenommen. Bei Kleinstgeblasen und Quer- stromgeblasen sind wesentliche Erweiterungen erfolgt. Die wichtigen physikalischen GesetzmaBigkeiten wurden ausfiihrlicher gebraeht, die bisherigen Berechnungsverfahren ergiinzt. So erga b sieh eine weit- gehende Neubearbeitung. Mein Manuskript wurde von Prof. Dipl.-Ing. habil. M. PECORNIK (V orstand des Lehrstuhles fUr Stromungslehre und hydraulische Ma- sehinen u. Schiffsbaufalmltat in Rijeka, Universitat Zagreb) sehr ein- gehend durehgesehen. Er hat verschiedene Umstellungen vorgenommen und die Bezeichnungen der vielen Abbildungen systematisch nach den neuesten Vorschriften vereinheitlicht. Dariiber hinaus verdanke ich Prof. PECORNIK viele weitere Ratschlage und Erganzungen sowie seine Hilfe bei der Korrektur, die er mit groBer Umsicht durchfiihrte. Das Kapitel Sehallerzeugung und Schalldampfung wurde wieder von den bekannten Fachleuten Oberingenieur REGENSCHEIT und Dipl.- Ing. GoEHLICH nahezu vollig neu bearbeitet, wofUr ieh ihnen besonders danken mochte.

w. A. Poucher's original 'Perfumes, Cosmetics and Soaps', first published in 1923, were the first comprehensive text books to deal exclusively with the work of the perfume and cosmetic industry, and received recognition and approval throughout the world. Their success and popularity was due primarily to the fact that they provided a practical guide not only to those engaged in the industry, but to a section of readers interested in the mystique and romance which at that time was associated with the perfume and cosmetic arts. It was also an outstanding feature that the books were easily readable, subject matter being expressed in a clear and under- standable fashion without the frills of pseudo-science or advanced technology. In revising Volume III and editing Volume I it has been my aim to continue in the pattern and style of their author, and to this end I have not intended to write a new book, but have attempted a true revision, and it is a remarkable fact that many of the original writings made nearly 50 years ago can still apply to an industry which since that time has developed beyond recognition.

When describing kanban implementation most information resources merely reference it without explaining it in technical terms or providing implementation details. Authors James Vatalaro and Robert Taylor address the need for kanban implementation guidance in "Implementing a Mixed Model Kanban System: The Lean Replenishment Technique for Pull Production,"

"Implementing a Mixed Model Kanban System" is a comprehensive and in-depth guide to implementing a kanban within the value stream. Its plain-language approach provides step-by-step coverage and guidance of the implementation, metrics, and dynamics of an effective kanban system based on proven reliable methods honed through years of implementation experience within manufacturing and non-manufacturing environments. By focusing on a case study of a manufacturing company trying to create and maintain continuous flow in their value stream. Vatalaro and Taylor show the reader how to construct their own kanban process, from beginning to end.

This book carefully identifies and explains each of the components of a kanban system within the context of pull production. The authors' common sense approach makes this book an excellent "on the floor" resource for all levels of "lean learners."

In addition, a CD-ROM is included, containing the spreadsheets and forms discussed in the text.

A heavily illustrated classic on the evolution of the handloom. The handloom-often no more than a bundle of sticks and a few lengths of cordage-has been known to almost all cultures for thousands of years. Eric Broudy places the wide variety of handlooms in their historical context. What influenced their development? How did they travel from one geographic area to another? Were they invented independently by different cultures? How have modern cultures improved on ancient weaving skills and methods? Broudy shows how virtually every culture has woven on handlooms. He highlights the incredible technical achievement of early cultures that created magnificent textiles with the crudest of tools and demonstrates that modern technology has done nothing to surpass their skill or inventiveness.

Factories, with their ingenious machinery and miraculous productivity, are celebrated as modern wonders of the world. Yet from William Blake's "dark Satanic mills" they have also fuelled our fears of the future. Telling the story of the factory, Joshua B. Freeman takes readers from the textile mills in England that powered the Industrial Revolution to the steel and car plants of twentieth-century America, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, to today's behemoths making trainers, toys and iPhones in China and Vietnam. He traces arguments about factories and social progress through such critics and champions as Marx, Ford and Stalin. And he explores the representation of factories in the work of Margaret Bourke-White, Charlie Chaplin and Diego Rivera.

Lean manufacturing cannot happen in a factory that lacks dependable, effective equipment. Breakdowns and processing defects translate into excess work-in-process and finished inventory, kept on hand "just in case." Recurring minor stoppages force employees to watch automated equipment that should run by itself. TPM gives a framework for addressing such problems, but many companies implement TPM at a superficial level, and the resulting productivity gains fall short of their potential. If your TPM implementation has resulted in posters and logos rather than a rise of productivity, how are you addressing this halt of progress? In "TPM for the Lean Factory," authors Sekine and Arai teach you to identify and attack the key equipment-related problems and misunderstandings that make plants miss their lean manufacturing goals.

Written for companies with a basic TPM framework already in place, you'll learn three powerful approaches for cutting this waste:

• The new 5Ss: focusingon standard locations and labeling through the first 2Ss
• Instant maintenance: mastering quick repairs of minor equipment failures
• Improved setup operations: organizing the preparation to save time and prevent errors

Chapters on cell design, product and process quality factor testing, and daily equipment inspection give you additional weapons for fighting waste and low productivity. For practical application, an implementation overview summarizes the steps for each topic, keyed to a set of 50 adaptable worksheets and examples. A practical and supportive resource, "TPM for the Lean Factory" extends a fresh vision and focus to help you get top results from your TPM efforts.

Handbook of Manufacturing provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental knowledge on manufacturing, covering various processes, manufacturing-related metrology and quality assessment and control, and manufacturing systems. Many modern processes such as additive manufacturing, micro- and nano-manufacturing, and biomedical manufacturing are also covered in this handbook. The handbook will help prepare readers for future exploration of manufacturing research as well as practical engineering applications.

Wetting and Spreading Dynamics explains how surface forces acting at the three-phase contact line determine equilibrium, hysteresis contact angles, and other equilibrium and kinetics features of liquids when in contact with solids or with other immiscible liquids. It examines the interaction of surface forces, capillary forces, and properties of the transition zone between the bulk liquid and solid substrate. Significantly revised and updated, the Second Edition features new chapters that cover spreading of non-Newtonian liquids over porous substrates, hysteresis of contact angles on smooth homogeneous substrates, equilibrium and hysteresis contact angles on deformable substrates, and kinetics of simultaneous spreading and evaporation. Drawing together theory and experimental data while presenting over 150 figures to illustrate the concepts, Wetting and Spreading Dynamics, Second Edition is a valuable resource written for both newcomers and experienced researchers.
