Synopsis

Now substantially revised and improved, this invaluable handbook provides engineers and technicians with more than 5,000 direct and related calculations for solving day-to-day problems quickly and easily. The book covers 13 disciplines--including civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, electronics, control, marine, and nuclear engineering--enabling readers to become familiar with procedures in fields apart from their own. The third edition features a major new section on environmental engineering, plus increased emphasis on environmental factors in the other 12 disciplines.

About this title

Review:

Excerpts from review by H. I. Epstein, University of Connecticut

This new edition (3rd ed., CH, Apr'95) of this handbook is divided into seven sections covering the fields of civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, chemical and process plant, water and wastewater, and environmental engineering. Within each section there are several major topics, further divided into numerous subtopics... (Choice 2005-02-01)

A previous edition of this work is cited in Books for College Libraries, 3e This resource for practicing engineers presents more than 5000 calculation procedures for solving common engineering problems. The volume is divided into sections corresponding to seven engineering disciplines: civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, sanitary, environmental, and chemical. Utilizing a "cookbook" format, the handbook describes the problem to be solved; provides numbered calculation procedures to be followed; works out an example problem; and (in most instances) presents related calculations.
