Abstract

This book showcases cutting-edge research papers from the 6th International Conference on Research into Design (ICoRD 2017) – the largest in India in this area – written by eminent researchers from across the world on design process, technologies, methods and tools, and their impact on innovation, for supporting design for communities. While design traditionally focused on the development of products for the individual, the emerging consensus on working towards a more sustainable world demands greater attention to designing for and with communities, so as to promote their sustenance and harmony - within each community and across communities. The special features of the book are the insights into the product and system innovation process, and the host of methods and tools from all major areas of design research for the enhancement of the innovation process. The main benefit of the book for researchers in various areas of design and innovation are access to the latest quality research in this area, with the largest collection of research from India. For practitioners and educators, it is exposure to an empirically validated suite of theories, models, methods and tools that can be taught and practiced for design-led innovation. The contents of this volume will be of use to researchers and professionals working in the areas on industrial design, manufacturing, consumer goods, and industrial management. .

Abstract

Das Buch, das inzwischen als Standard-Literatur der Luftfahrtindustrie gilt, beschreibt den Aufbau und die Aktivitäten luftfahrttechnischer Betriebe. Dies sind Unternehmen, welche Teile, Komponenten, Baugruppen und Triebwerke für Luftfahrzeuge oder die Luftfahrzeuge selbst entwickeln, herstellen oder instandhalten. Die technische Luftfahrtbranche weist erhebliche Spezifika auf, da deren Aktivitäten maßgeblich durch die Regularien der zuständigen Luftaufsichtsbehörden bestimmt werden. Somit nehmen die Behörden erheblichen Einfluss auf Betriebsorganisation, Personalqualifizierung, Qualitätssystem sowie die Leistungserbringung selbst. Diese Besonderheiten, Zusammenhänge und Abläufe werden im Buch sowohl aus Sicht der Luftfahrtgesetzgebung als auch aus dem Blickwinkel der betrieblichen Praxis thematisiert. In der 3. Auflage wurden die Vorgaben der EASA-Regelwerke aktualisiert und die Anforderungen der EN 9100:2016 berücksichtigt. Darüber hinaus wurde ein Kapitel zum Safety Assessment eingefügt. Neue Graphiken, Case-Studies und Praxis-Boxen verbessern die Praxisnähe. Der Inhalt Einleitung .- Behörden und Organisationen.- Regelwerke und Zulassungen .- Entwicklung.- Maintenance Management .- Grundlagen des luftfahrttechnischen Produktionsmanagements.- Herstellung.- Instandhaltung.- Material- und Leistungsversorgung.- Personal.- Qualitätsmanagement. Die Zielgruppen Mitarbeiter und Führungskräfte luftfahrttechnischer Betriebe und Luftfahrtzulieferer, Studierende der Luftfahrttechnik Der Autor Dr. Martin Hinsch ist selbständiger Luftfahrt-Berater und authentifizierter Auditor für die EN 9100. Darüber hinaus lehrt er als Professor für Aviation Management an der Internationalen Hochschule Bad Honnef, Bonn (IUBH). Vor seiner jetzigen Tätigkeit war er viele Jahre bei der Lufthansa Technik AG (LHT) beschäftigt. 2010 verließ Dr. Hinsch die LHT nach einer längeren Tätigkeit als Senior Consultant im Mittleren Osten.

Abstract

This book deals with quantifying and analyzing the risks associated with sustainable energy technology growth in electric power systems, and developing appropriate models and methodologies to mitigate the risks and improve the overall system performance. The rapid increase in the installation of renewable energy sources in electric power systems has given rise to a wide range of problems related to planning and operation of power systems to maintain quality, stability, reliability and efficiency. Additionally, there is a growing global environmental concern regarding increasing emissions from the electric power generation required to meet rising energy needs and support sustainable and inclusive development. The phenomenon of low voltage ride through (LVRT), common to wind energy systems, is discussed, and ways to tackle the same are proposed in the first chapter. Subsequent chapters propose methods of optimizing a sustainable and smart microgrid, and supplying electricity to remote areas of a developing country with no immediate possibility of national grid extension. The economic benefit and technical challenges of forming localized minigrid are also discussed. The book proposes a method for reliability assessment of a power grid with sustainable power transportation system. The issue of weak link in power system is very important as it will provide the system operators and planners to take necessary measures to strengthen the system. An approach to determine the weak parts of the system and its unreliability is proposed. With increasing installation of HVDC power transmission and development of efficient and low cost power electronic devices, the DC microgrids are becoming a common phenomenon. Their existence together with AC Grids result in Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids, which are discussed in this book. It further presents a method for reliability evaluation of a distribution system with network reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generation. The important problems in sustainable energy growth, and their potential solutions discussed and presented in the book should be of great interest to engineers, policy makers, researchers and academics in the area of electric power engineering.

Abstract

This book aims to cast light on all aspects of tunnel fires, based on experimental activities and theoretical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. In particular, the authors describe a transient full-scale fire test (~15 MW), explaining how they designed and performed the experimental activity inside the Morgex North tunnel in Italy. The entire organization of the experiment is described, from preliminary evaluations to the solutions found for management of operational difficulties and safety issues. This fire test allowed the collection of different measurements (temperature, air velocity, smoke composition, pollutant species) useful for validating and improving CFD codes and for testing the real behavior of the tunnel and its safety systems during a diesel oil fire with a significant heat release rate. Finally, the fire dynamics are compared with empirical correlations, CFD simulations, and literature measurements obtained in other similar tunnel fire tests. This book will be of interest to all engineers and public officials who are concerned with the nature, prevention, and management of tunnel fires.
