Peak Performance from Two-Stroke Engines Do you spend more time
trying to start your weed trimmer than you do enjoying your
backyard? With this how-to guide, you can win the battle with the
temperamental two-stroke engine. Written by long-time mechanic and
bestselling author Paul Dempsey, Two-Stroke Engine Repair &
Maintenance shows you how to fix the engines that power garden
equipment, construction tools, portable pumps, mopeds, generators,
trolling motors, and more. Detailed drawings, schematics, and
photographs along with step-by-step instructions make it easy to
get the job done quickly. Save time and money when you learn how
to: Troubleshoot the engine to determine the source of the problem
Repair magnetos and solid-state systems--both analog and digital
ignition modules Adjust and repair float-type, diaphragm, and
variable venturi carburetors Fabricate a crankcase pressure tester
Fix rewind starters of all types Overhaul engines--replace
crankshaft seals, main bearings, pistons, and rings Work with
centrifugal clutches, V-belts, chains, and torque converters
This is the best seller in this market. It provides a comprehensive
introduction to complex variable theory and its applications to
current engineering problems. It is designed to make the
fundamentals of the subject more easily accessible to students who
have little inclination to wade through the rigors of the axiomatic
approach. Modeled after standard calculus books-both in level of
exposition and layout-it incorporates physical applications
throughout the presentation, so that the mathematical methodology
appears less sterile to engineering students.
A record of an engineer's life starting in childhood with Meccano
which gave him a fascination for all things mechanical leading on
to aeromodelling and later to motorcycles. His education at a
private school was followed by a mechanical apprenticeship with a
well-known motor manufacturer, including time off for two years
national service in the R.E.M.E, and afterwards further study for
three years at the College of Aeronautical and Automobile
Engineering in Chelsea where he completed his training as an
engineer. All this led to his first real job in the aircraft
industry working for several firms over a period of years before
moving back into the car industry at Vauxhall Motors. He switched
back once again into the aircraft industry and eventual retirement
at the early age of fifty-seven. The author has always had a keen
interest in two stroke engines and sleeve valves such that he has
designed and built many of them in his home-built workshop, writing
computer programmes and obtaining patents for some of his more
inventive ideas. During this time, particularly in this century, he
has explored Scotland extensively, including the islands of the
Inner and Outer Hebrides and has climbed all over Ulster and
southern Ireland. He has been married to two talented women and has
spent his retirement years pursuing his motorcycle engine building
hobby, and is, at this time, a member of the Trojan, Scott and
Norton owner clubs.
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.
Corrosion is a high-cost and potentially hazardous issue in
numerous industries. The potential use of diverse carbon
nanoallotropes in corrosion protection, prevention and control is a
subject of rising attention. This book covers the current
advancements of carbon nanoallotropes in metal corrosion
management, including the usage of nanostructure materials to
produce high-performance corrosion inhibitors and
corrosion-resistant coatings.
