A publication of the Center for Research and Technology Development (CRTD). This report discusses the National Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) canisters for the handling and interim storage of SNF at various DOE sites, as well as the transport, handling, and disposal of SNF at the repository. The Project Team (PT), as part of a licensing support effect, has developed a comprehensive plan to assist DOE to meet USNRC licensing requirements for DOE's SN...
Standards play a very important part in the engineering world. They supplement the design process by guiding the designer or user to ensure consistent products with safe and reliable operation. Understanding and complying with pertinent standards helps to ensure a successful design, fabrication, and operation of a product. This book introduces the concept of standards and their impact and value. Chapter 1 gives a brief introduction to the gene...
Industrial steam tables exist to provide a standard set of properties of water and steam for manufacturers, customers, and other parties. Three desirable qualities for a set of industrial steam tables are accuracy, self-consistency, and stability. The properties must be reasonably accurate and self-consistent to support quality design of equipment. A formulation must remain the standard for many years, because the change from one standard to a...
Recent studies by professional organizations devoted to engineering education, such as Vision 2030 (ASME) and Vision 2025 (ASCE), highlight the need for the restructuring of engineering education. Deficiencies of many engineering graduates include poor systems thinking and systems analysis skills, lack of sensitivity for sustainability issues, poorly developed problem solving skills and lack of training to work in (multi-disciplinary) teams, a...
This 2014 Addendum includes recommended additions and corrections to the original text, which was published by ASME Press in 2013. Numerous reviews were performed on the original text for this book, and manuscripts for this book were used to teach the topics in the text to four separate classes of engineers at SRS and prior to publication. Comments from these four day classes were incorporated into the manuscripts between classes to improve th...
This comprehensive work written by ASME Codes & Standards experts was originally published as part of Volume 3 of the Companion Guide to the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code. This fully updated and expanded volume is now a stand-alone publication that addresses Continuing and Changing Priorities for the success of current and next generation Nuclear Reactors and Internals, License Renewal, Public Safety, PRA and Spent Fuel Pool-related issues.
When students once master the concepts of the finite element method (and meshing), it's not long before they begin to look at other numerical techniques and applications, especially the boundary element and meshless methods (since a mesh is not required). The expert authors of this book provide a simple explanation of these three powerful numerical schemes and show how they all fall under the umbrella of the more universal method of weighted r...
Nowadays biopolymers such as agar, agarose, alginate, carageenan, cellulose, chitin, chitosan, collagen, hyaluronic acid, gelatin, glucan, starch, DNA, RNA and protein have been produced from laboratory to industrial scale. The physico-chemical properties of these biopolymers such as chemical compositions, solubility, molecular weight and viscosity are of major importance on the preparation of micro- and nanomaterials such as powder, solution,...
This new book is based on two popular ASME online self-study courses. Part 1 covers Ethics For Engineers: Doing the Right Thing When No One is Looking, and Part 2 is on Changing Organizational Culture. Practical case studies and real-world examples are included. It is intended for early career engineers and other practicing professionals to address non-technical topics that are often "not taught in school.
For several decades now, mobile robots have been integral to the development of new robotic systems for new applications, even in nontechnical areas. Mobile robots have already been developed for such uses as industrial automation, medical care, space exploration, demining operations, surveillance, entertainment, museum guides and many other industrial and non-industrial applications. In some cases these products are readily available on the m...

This Second Edition of a classic text is fully updated and greatly expanded, with in-depth revisions that include advancements in the component technology of microelectronics. The most noticeable one is the addition of an entirely new chapter on microwave modules and the gallium arsenide (GaAs) chips, which have seldom been discussed in any of the textbooks or publications in the area of thermal management of electronic equipment. With this ne...
This book will provide a wealth of technical information for those concerned with, or responsible for, the safety and integrity of pipeline systems. It addresses the full life cycle of a pipeline by considering the entire spectrum of pipeline integrity management, ranging from data gathering (tools and methods), assessment techniques (condition and risks verification), to repairs and emergency response, including incident management.
This book provides a thorough description of an aerodynamic design and analysis systems for Axial-Flow Compressors. It describes the basic fluid dynamic and thermodynamic principles, empirical models and numerical methods used for the full range of procedures and analytical tools that an engineer needs for virtually any type of Axial-Flow Compressor, aerodynamic design or analysis activity. It reviews and evaluates several design strategies th...
While several books are available that provide a general overview of centrifugal compressor aerodynamic technology, this book is unique in that it fully describes a working design and analysis system with all of the interacting procedures, design guidelines, and decision processes required. This book describes the author's own centrifugal compressor aerodynamic design and analysis system, and the strategy he uses while applying it. He provides...
