"This book contains overviews on technologically important classes of glasses, their treatment to achieve desired properties, theoretical approaches for the description of structure-property relationships, and new concepts in the theoretical treatment of crystallization in glass-forming systems. It contains overviews about the state of the art and about specific features for the analysis and application of important classes of glass-forming systems, and describes new developments in theoretical interpretation by well-known glass scientists. Thus, the book offers comprehensive and abundant information that is difficult to come by or has not yet been made public." Edgar Dutra Zanotto (Center for Research, Technology and Education in Vitreous Materials, Brazil) Glass, written by a team of renowned researchers and experienced book authors in the field, presents general features of glasses and glass transitions. Different classes of glassforming systems, such as silicate glasses, metallic glasses, and polymers, are exemplified. In addition, the wide field of phase formation processes and their effect on glasses and their properties is studied both from a theoretical and experimental point of view.

This short book describes the basic technological aspects involved in the creation of purely clinch and clinch-adhesive joints made of different types of adherent materials and employing different joining technologies. Basic parameters that need to be taken into account in the design process are also presented, while a comparison of experimental testing of the hybrid joint with simple clinching for a combination of different joining materials underlines the advantages of opting for hybrid joints. The book's conclusions will facilitate the practical application of this new fastening technology.

Die UEberarbeitung der 2. Auflage umfasst die Investitionsrechenverfahren, die Standortplanung im Produktionsnetzwerk, die energieeffiziente Fabrikplanung, Methoden der Produktionsstrukturplanung, die Unterstutzung des Projektmanagements mit Handhelp-Systemen sowie das Methoden-Management. Neue Planungsbeispiele, wie bspw. die Einrichtung eines montagenahen Supermarktes oder eines Produktionslogistikkonzeptes, verstarken den Anwendungsbezug. Planer und Entscheider erhalten einen Leitfaden fur die Neu-, Erweiterungs- oder Rationalisierungsplanung. Der ganzheitliche Ansatz umfasst dabei die gesamte Planungstiefe, von der Strategie- uber die Struktur- und Systemplanung bis hin zur Ausfuhrungsplanung und Inbetriebnahme. Ebenso wird die gesamte Planungsbreite uber alle Funktionssysteme und Gewerke, wie z.B. Fertigung und Montage, Lagerung und innerbetrieblicher Transport, Organisation, Gebaude und Infrastruktur mit ihren Abhangigkeiten behandelt. Grundsatzlich erfordert die Fabrikplanung als komplexe Aufgabenstellung ein zielgerichtetes und strukturiertes Vorgehen, Konzentration auf das Wesentliche und Wahl der richtigen Methoden und Instrumente, sollen Fehlinvestitionen vermieden werden.

Prevent operational incidents and reduce risks with an essential CCPS guide You can help your company reduce its operating risks by learning how to effectively manage transient operations and avoid major incidents. Startups and shutdowns, known as transient operations, can be high-risk periods for manufacturing facilities. Guidelines for Process Safety During Transient Operations offers useful guidance in preparing for the safe startup and shutdown of chemical processes. With an understanding of the risks involved, you can work proactively to prevent fatalities, serious injuries, reduced productivity, and costly damage. This essential guide for plants provides clear examples of how to anticipate and avoid major issues. The book examines safe shutdown procedures in the event of an emergency. You will also gain direction on how to resume operations safely after an unexpected shutdown. The book supports anyone tasked with regulating and overseeing chemical plants and procedures, whether you are an engineer, manager, or government professional. Minimize operating risks through the effective management of transient operations Establish safe start-up and shutdown procedures for chemical processes Be ready to safely shut down processes in the event of an emergency Learn from real world examples of start-up or shutdown incidents Review procedures and engineering controls that help prevent or reduce the effects of incidents involving transient operations Guidelines for Process Safety comes to you from The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), which offers advanced thinking in the critical area of process safety. The organization develops technology and management practices for companies seeking to reduce hazards within the chemical and petrochemical industries.

The current chemical engineering curriculum concentrates on process: the efficient manufacturing in quantity of traditional chemical products such as ammonia and benzene. However, many chemical companies now invent and manufacture specialty products with particular properties such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronic coatings, and their employees need to know how to design the products as well as manufacture them. James Wei, a famous chemical engineer, is writing this book to provide theories and case studies in product engineering the design of new, useful products with desired properties. The first section relates historical case studies of successful product invention and development by individuals and companies. The second part of the book describes the toolbox of molecular structure-property relations. A desired product needs to have certain properties (for example, phase transition or thermal properties) and the chemist must find or design a molecular structure with the required properties This section will instruct chemists in the analysis of structure and property information. The third section is concerned with the next stage: product research and design. It will discuss improving the desired product by additives and blending, among other strategies. It will also cover future challenges in product engineering.
