Free Download Thermal Sciences for Machines
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3030915921 | 765 Pages | PDF (True) | 54 MB
This second volume of the textbook Hydraulic and Thermal Machines focuses on thermal machines. It covers the fundamentals of heat transfer and thermodynamics for reacting and non-reacting mixtures, and compressible fluids, followed by the principles of design, control and operation of thermal machines. With an uncomplicated yet rigorous approach, and using numerous examples, the book gradually guides readers through different kind of fluid machines/systems such as compressors, turbines, vapor and gas turbine power plants, internal combustion engines, and hybrid systems, discussing important issues for their application in propulsion. Furthermore, the book covers reversed cycle systems, with a special attention to air conditioning.

Free Download Emerging Technologies for the Classroom: A Learning Sciences Perspective By Chrystalla Mouza, Nancy C. Lavigne (auth.), Chrystalla Mouza, Nancy Lavigne (eds.)
2013 | 306 Pages | ISBN: 1461446953 | PDF | 4 MB
This book provides contemporary examples of the ways in which educators can use digital technologies to create effective learning environments that support improved learning and instruction. These examples are guided by multiple conceptual and methodological traditions evolving from the learning sciences and instructional technology communities as well as other communities doing important work on learning technologies. In particular, the book provides examples of technology innovations and the ways in which educators can use them to foster deep understanding, collaboration, creativity, invention, and reflection. Additional examples demonstrate the ways in which emerging mobile and networked technologies can help extend student learning beyond the confines of the classroom wall and support student-directed learning and new media literacies.

Free Download Fractals in the Earth Sciences By D. L. Turcotte, J. Huang (auth.), Christopher C. Barton, Paul R. La Pointe (eds.)
1995 | 265 Pages | ISBN: 1489913998 | PDF | 10 MB
Fractals have changed the way we understand and study nature. This change has been brought about mainly by the work of B. B. Mandelbrot and his book The Fractal Geometry of Nature. Now here is a book that collects articles treating fractals in the earth sciences. The themes chosen span, as is appropriate for a discourse on fractals, many orders of magnitude; including earthquakes, ocean floor topography, fractures, faults, mineral crystallinity, gold and silver deposition. There are also chapters on dynamical processes that are fractal, such as rivers, earthquakes, and a paper on self-organized criticality. Many of the chapters discuss how to estimate fractal dimensions, Hurst exponents, and other scaling exponents. This book, in a way, represents a snapshot of a field in which fractals has brought inspiration and a fresh look at familiar subjects. New ideas and attempts to quantify the world we see around us are found throughout. Many of these ideas will grow and inspire further work, others will be superseded by new observations and insights, most probably with future contributions by the authors of these chapters.

Free Download Sam Geppi, "Yoga and Vedic Astrology – Sister Sciences of Spiritual Healing"
English | 2016 | pages: 376 | ISBN: 0996848207 | EPUB | 1,8 mb
This book is for those interested in Yoga and Vedic / Indian principles and how to see those Universal truths through Vedic Astrology. Ponder this, right now you are on a rock moving close to 70,000 miles per hour around a huge ball of fire. This has been happening for 4.5 billion years. This is where astrological wisdom should begin. The ancient Indian’s knew this, and developed many systems of living that shows how spirit takes form and how to evolve consciousness within that. An understanding of both Yoga and Indian principles is essential if one is to master VEDIC Astrology. This book first unpacks the core tenets of Indian / Yoga philosophy (called Samkya philosphy), then connects those teachings to the practice of Vedic astrology. This is accomplished by first analyzing the history of Indian literature (Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, etc.). Next, that history is traced to the 2 main Yogic texts, the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Then those those practices are woven together / cross referenced through the principles of Samkya philosphy (Gunas, elements, Kosha, Chakras, Karma). Only then are the essentials of Vedic astrology explored – Planets, Signs, Houses, Nakshatras, Aspects, Harmonic Charts and more. This book is also the basic manual for the American Academy of Vedic Art and Science Level I Certification Course.

Free Download Natural Sciences and Human Thought By E. Schmutzer (auth.), Professor Dr. Robert Zwilling (eds.)
1995 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 3540575189 | PDF | 7 MB
Leaving aside for once all utilitarian considerations, this book attempts to demonstrate the role and influence of the natural sciences in the development of human thought and in shaping the way in which we perceive the world. This seems to be particularly necessary in the present day and age, in view of the fact that a large section of the public is scarcely aware of the great cultural contribution that the natural sciences make towards moulding our conception of the world and scarcely acknowledges their function in helping us to find our bearings in a world that is becoming increasingly complex.
