Principles of Energetics by K.S. Spiegler,P. Chartier,M. Gross Pdf

The purpose of this book is to lay the groundwork for the analysis and the design of processes with a view to energetic efficiency. Energetics is used in the original sense of the engineer W. J. M. Rankine (Proc. Roy. Philosoph. Soc. of Glasgow III, 381 [1955]) and the physical chemist J. N. Br\3nsted (Principles and Problems in Energetics, Interscience, New York, 1955), i.e., the macroscopic description of the flows of different forms of energy, and the general laws governing the mutual transforma tions of these flows. The prerequisite for the use of the book is a conventional course in equilibrium thermodynamics as usually taken in the junior (third) col lege year. The author believes that while knowledge about equilibria is essential, most engineers and many scientists are mostly interested in systems in which equilibrium has not yet been reached. In such systems, flow phenomena such as heat, mass and electricity transfer, as well as chemical reactions, can take place, and it is important to know the driv ing forces and laws governing the interactions of these flows.

Principles of Fusion Energy by A. A. Harms,Klaus F.. Schoepf,David Ross Kingdon Pdf

This textbook accommodates the two divergent developmental paths which have become solidly established in the field of fusion energy: the process of sequential tokamak development toward a prototype and the need for a more fundamental and integrative research approach before costly design choices are made.Emphasis is placed on the development of physically coherent and mathematically clear characterizations of the scientific and technological foundations of fusion energy which are specifically suitable for a first course on the subject. Of interest, therefore, are selected aspects of nuclear physics, electromagnetics, plasma physics, reaction dynamics, materials science, and engineering systems, all brought together to form an integrated perspective on nuclear fusion and its practical utilization.The book identifies several distinct themes. The first is concerned with preliminary and introductory topics which relate to the basic and relevant physical processes associated with nuclear fusion. Then, the authors undertake an analysis of magnetically confined, inertially confined, and low-temperature fusion energy concepts. Subsequently, they introduce the important blanket domains surrounding the fusion core and discuss synergetic fusion-fission systems. Finally, they consider selected conceptual and technological subjects germane to the continuing development of fusion energy systems.

Principles of Bioenergetics by Vladimir P. Skulachev,Alexander V. Bogachev,Felix O. Kasparinsky Pdf

Principles of Bioenergetics summarizes one of the quickly growing branches of modern biochemistry. Bioenergetics concerns energy transductions occurring in living systems and this book pays special attention to molecular mechanisms of these processes. The main subject of the book is the "energy coupling membrane" which refers to inner membranes of intracellular organelles, for example, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Cellular cytoplasmic membranes where respiratory and photosynthetic energy transducers, as well as ion-transporting ATP-synthases (ATPases) are also part of this membrane. Significant attention is paid to the alternative function of mitochondria as generators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that mediate programmed death of cells (apoptosis and necrosis) and organisms (phenoptosis). The latter process is considered as a key mechanism of aging which may be suppressed by mitochondria-targeted antioxidants.

The Wholeness Principle by Stephano Sabetti Pdf

When we think of energy, most of us generally associate it with the fuel used to power equipment or some measurement of the ability to do work. This was not always the case. The Wholeness Principle examines the history of energy and determines that, in reality, it forms the basis of our very existence. It is a concept that has a universal presence in all societies, though the names and forms it takes may vary from culture to culture. Dr. Sabetti subscribes to a more vitalistic meaning of energy in which Life Energy, as he refers to it, may be seen as a universal force that brings all phenomena into movement. He explores the physics or essential nature of this universal force, determining that phenomena are not separate or isolated entities but can only be viewed as relational elements of a much larger and integrated whole. Life energy expresses itself in all that we do. In this view, all elements of our existence, such day and night, male and female are seen as complementary elements of the whole instead of contradictory or oppositional. This wholeness is a natural tendency. In our attempts to be important, we try control, hinder or otherwise disrupt this natural flow, resulting in disease, conflict, disharmony or destruction of our natural resources. Sabetti makes this concept relevant to our daily lives by showing how the energy of wholeness can explain the essence of our physical nature, emotions, medicine, architecture, and psychological health. From a therapeutic standpoint, Sabetti describes the application of these energy principles of wholeness, flow, and blockage to a radical form of body psychotherapy he has developed called Life Energy Therapy. He also summarizes the essence of these principles into a more general Life Energy Process, in which he uses energy to diagnose and interpret other forms of life expression such as dance, organizations, art, and music

Introducing Biological Energetics by Norman W. H. Cheetham Pdf

This novel, interdisciplinary text presents biological understanding in terms of general underlying principles, treating energy as the overarching theme and emphasizing the all-pervading influence of energy transformation in every process, both living and non-living. Key processes and concepts are explained in turn, culminating in a description of the overall functioning and regulation of a living cell. The book rounds off the story of life with a brief account of the endosymbiotic origins of eukaryotic cells, the development of multicellularity, and the emergence of modern plants and animals. Multidisciplinary research in science is becoming commonplace. However, as traditional boundaries start to break down, researchers are increasingly aware of the deficiencies in their knowledge of related disciplines. Introducing Biological Energetics redresses the reciprocal imbalance in the knowledge levels of physical and biological scientists in particular. Its style of presentation and depth of treatment has been carefully designed to unite these two readerships.
