comes along and turns your science classes upside down. It's here -
the flaming activities they never mentioned at the Chemistry
Faculty or banned from your chemistry set. In this one book you
will get the explanations, the practical show-how, the safety
issues and extension ideas to take your students to the next level.

revelation. No boring recipes on making fizzy volcanic mountains
(yawn) - this stuff sizzles. The author focused on the triple S
concept: All activities are SIMPLE, reasonably SAFE (hey, this is
about combustion) and oh so SPECTACULAR. You'll get step-by-step
instructions and photos and all can easily be implemented in your
classroom and lab - instant student engagement. For those who love
safe, sizzling science excitement at home - you have found it The

Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) is a tactic that is used on
fire grounds across the world everyday, both to improve tenability
after the extinguishment of a fire and/or offensively during fire
attack to improve firefighting conditions. PPV has proven that it
can be a useful tool on the fire ground, but it can also kill or
injure fire fighters and civilians if used improperly. Data from
three full-scale experiments are compared with simulations
completed with the computational fluid dynamic model Fire Dynamic
Simulator (FDS). The full-scale experiments characterize a Positive
Pressure Ventilation (PPV) fan in an open atmosphere, in a simple
room geometry and in a room fire. All experiments qualify and
quantify the comparison of the experimental results with the FDS
results. A concluding scenario is modeled utilizing the calibration
of the full-scale experiments to examine the effects of PPV on a
fire in a two-story, colonial style house.
This book is ideal for high school & engineering students as
well as hobbyists who have just started out building projects in
Electrical and Electronics fields. The book starts with electrical
and electronics fundamentals necessary for execution of projects.
The basic knowledge is introduced first followed by a schematic
diagram, components list and the theory behind the project to be
performed is given. The projects have been divided into three
segments corresponding to beginners, intermediate and engineering
levels. The materials required to build the projects are commonly
available at the corner shop and are less expensive than you think.
Features Ideal for beginners, high school (intermediate),
engineering students and hobbyists Useful for knowing basics of
electronic components, circuit, and home lab setup. Practical for
doing projects at home or school laboratory
This book is an introduction to the basic theory and engineering of
advanced electron beam sources known as photoinjectors.
Photoinjectors produce relativistic electrons for exciting new
devices such as x-ray free electron lasers and the polarized beams
for very high energy physics linear colliders. The chapters are
written by renowned experts in the field who share their working
knowledge of the technologies needed for designing and building
photoinjectors.
