Books by Bela G. Liptak

This book is a snapshot of the state of the art of controlling unit operations. It describes the optimization of air handlers, boilers, chemical reactors, chillers, clean-rooms, compressors and fans, cooling towers, heat exchangers, and pumping stations.

This book discusses real world processes - where pipes leak, sensors plug, and pumps cavitate - offering practical solutions to real problems. This second edition reflects the continual improvement and evolution of control systems as well as anticipates future advances.

Temperature Measurement covers nearly every type of temperature measurement device, in particular, bimetallic thermometers, filled bulb and glass stem thermometers, thermistors, thermocouples, and thermowells

Discussing real-world processes such as where pipes leak, sensors plug, and pumps cavitate, this book offers solutions to practical problems. It describes each system which illustrates the control of a particular unit operation. It also describes how to maximize efficiency and minimize the operating cost of individual unit operations.

Describes the design of the first 1,000 megawatt solar power plant with hydrogen storage. This work explains how a solar-hydrogen economy is technically feasible and cost-effective. It outlines conservation technologies and renewable energy processes as well as technologies, such as roof shingle solar collectors and reversible fuel cells.
