The applications of biocomposite materials are increasing in aerospace, automobile, and household items due to their biodegradable, renewable, non-corrosion, and high strength to weight ratio properties. The processing and characterization of biofiber-reinforced biocomposite materials are vital for their strength and performance. This book discusses the properties, chemical treatment, and compatibility of biofibers with materials.

The Plant Project Engineering Guidebook is for plant project engineers who want an insight into the main facets of project engineering in North America. Engineers are guided through work procedures and methods for plant projects in the oil and gas, pulp and paper, board and recycling industries and that can be applied to other industries. The Plant Project Engineering Guidebook contains 168 practical guidelines, 18 case histories and 30 sample forms to describe the project authorization process including budgets and estimating, information on how to control the office and drawing functions, a description of the bidding and procurement process, the basics of construction management, contracts, commissioning procedures, startup and training. This is the stuff you wish they would have taught at university, but didn't. Key Benefits * 168 Guidelines offering advice and useful tips on project procedures; budget preparation and project finances; reporting to management; dealing with employees and contractors; how to avoid common project management errors and pitfalls. organizational guidance; and much more * 18 case history studies provide a unique opportunity to learn from real-world events and experiences See what has been done before, what works and what does not work. * 30 sample forms, reports, work orders, checklists and contract documents are included in the guidebook Use these as a basis to modify or develop your own project management documentation * This is the only book of this type available on the subject of Plant Project Engineering. * This book gives you the "HOW-TO" of managing your plant projects

This work presents the guiding principles of Integral Transforms needed for many applications when solving engineering and science problems. As a modern approach to Laplace Transform, Fourier series and Z-Transforms it is a valuable reference for professionals and students alike.

Heat resistant layers are meant to withstand high temperatures while also protecting against all types of corrosion and oxidation. Therefore, the micro-structure and behavior of such layers is essential in understanding the functionality of these materials in order to make improvements. Production, Properties, and Applications of High Temperature Coatings is a critical academic publication which examines the methods of creation, characteristics, and behavior of materials used in heat resistant layers. Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics such as, thermal spray methods, sol-gel coatings, and surface nanoengineering, this book is geared toward students, academicians, engineers, and researchers seeking relevant research on the methodology and materials for producing effective heat resistant layers.
