The go-to resource for project management practitioners. The Standard for Project Management enumerates 12 principles of project management and the PMBOK (R) Guide, Seventh Edition is structured around eight project performance domains. Both the standard and the guide reflect the range of development approaches that lead to value delivery.

Provides a course in control engineering for undergraduates of various technical disciplines. With a basic overview of elementary control theory, this text focuses on examination of advanced aspects such as robust and intelligent control, including neural networks and genetic algorithms. It includes real life case studies and problems.

The book contains the material needed for beginning students, e.g., first year university students, college students (enrolled on a certificate or diploma course) and even A-level students.

Includes end-of-chapter study questions.

The history of Britain told through the stories of twenty-five notable buildings, from the Iron Age fortification of Maiden Castle in Dorset to the Gherkin.

Chemical Engineering: An Introduction enables students to explore the activities a modern chemical engineer is involved with, by focusing on mass and energy balances in liquid-phase processes.

Suitable for students of chemical engineering, this title covers the basics of unit operations and the advanced aspects of process design, equipment selection, plant and operating economics, safety and loss prevention.

This volume covers the three main transport processes of interest to chemical engineers - momentum transfer (fluid flow), heat transfer, and mass transfer - and the relationships between them. The concluding chapter covers an application where each of these processes is occurring simultaneously.

Chemical reaction engineering is concerned with the exploitation of chemical reactions on a commercial scale. Ita s goal is the successful design and operation of chemical reactors. This text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of the major reactor types.

Designed in a structured, directed format to help develop understanding, rather than just providing a simple source of information, this popular undergraduate textbook offers comprehensive coverage of industrial and commercial building technology.

Dead-time-process-control problems are studied using classical proportional-integral-differential (PID) control for the simpler examples and dead-time-compensator (DTC) and model predictive control (MPC) methods for progressively more complex ones.
