Большая часть углей, используемая в энергетике, имеет повышенную влажность, высокий процент мелких частиц и примеси породы, включая глину. Такие угли создают серьёзные трудности при их хранении в бункерах. В данной книге впервые движение и зависание углей изучалось на реальных бункерах, а не на моделях. Автор надеется, что вышеизложенный материал поможет в понимании процессов, происходящих в бунке…
Praise for the First Edition . . . «A unique piece of work, a book for electronics engineering, in general, but well suited and excellently applicable also to biomedical engineering . . . I recommend it with no reservation, congratulating the authors for the job performed.» -IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology «Describes a broad range of sensors in practical use and some circuit designs; copiou…
Dedicated to SiC-based 1D nanostructures, this book explains the properties and different growth methods of these nanostructures. It details carburization of silicon nanowires, a growth process for obtaining original Si-SiC core-shell nanowires and SiC nanotubes of high crystalline quality, thanks to the control of the siliconout-diffusion. The potential applications of these particular nano-objec…
