"Stalin7;s Cold War" presents a highly original analysis of the
Soviet leader7;s role in the gestation of the Cold War. Drawing on
rich new evidence from Soviet, East European and British archives,
the book offers fresh and illuminating insights into the evolution
of Stalin7;s strategy in the transition from cooperation with the
United States and Britain during World War II to ideological and
geopolitical confrontation. The book reveals Stalin7;s efforts to
grapple with the dynamic interaction between democratic and
communist parties in the domestic politics of European countries in
the aftermath of World War II, and his key role in the gradual but
inexorable shift towards communist monopoly of power in the
countries of Eastern Europe.
This book covers theoretical foundations of the Natural Gas (NG)
installations and networks as a part of building logistic system,
illustrated with digital examples. It describes the NG oxidation
phenomena and appropriate energy converting devices used in the
building's energy centres and basic sizing principals of the
related pipe networks. Further, it covers usage of NG devices
including system for thermal comfort control, building ventilation,
indoor air quality, visual comfort, food preparation and
conservation, and hygiene maintenance system. A special attention
is given to applications of the NG technological equipment, using
gas-driven heat pumps, micro heat and power systems. Aimed at
professionals and graduate students in the areas of HVAC, Plumbing,
Architecture, Electricians, this book: Presents complex, innovative
and systematical approach to NG installations in buildings. Reviews
efficient and environmentally sustainable dementalization approach
to building energy supply, using NGmHps v/s central energy supply
systems. Explains pre-designating calculations of the gas piping
networks. Illustrates structures, principals of operation and
building project implementations of the modern GN energy converters
and transformers as fuel cells (SOFC, MOFC, PEFC) and NG driven
heat pumps. Discusses calculation methods derived from professional
case studies.
This book serves as a guide for discovering pathways to more
efficient energy use. The first part of the book illustrates basic
laws of energy conversion and principles of thermodynamics. Laws of
energy conservation and direction of energy conversion are
formulated in detail, and the types of thermodynamic processes are
explained. Also included is the characterization of various types
of real energy conversion. The second part of the book discusses
types of energy conversion referred to as thermal-energy
technologies. The advantages of the co-generation processes and
devices operating within the Brayton direct cycle and their
adaptively to household energetics are underlined.
Energy Modeling and Computations in the Building Envelope instills
a deeper understanding of the energy interactions between buildings
and the environment, based on the analysis of transfer processes
operating in the building envelope components at the microscopic
level. The author: Proposes a generalized physics model that
describes these interactions at the microscopic level via the
macroscopic characteristics of the building envelope Presents
mathematical models that utilize classical analytical tools and can
be used to perform quantitative predictions of the consequences of
the energy interactions Reveals easy-to-apply engineering methods
concerning the design and inspection of the building envelope,
taking into account the effects of energy on the envelope Energy
Modeling and Computations in the Building Envelope provides
comprehensive coverage of this environmentally and economically
important topic, from the physics of energy transfer to its
numerical estimation. The book is especially useful to those
looking to increase building energy efficiency, decrease the
consumption of primary energy carriers, and raise the ecological
sustainability of construction products.

This work offers a major new interpretation of the Stalin's role in
the gestation of the Cold War. Based on important new evidence,
Dimitrov reveals Stalin's genuine efforts to preserve his World War
II alliance with the US and Britain and to encourage a degree of
cooperation between communists and democratic parties in Eastern
Europe.
