Demystifying Numerical Models: Step-by Step Modeling of Engineering Systems is the perfect guide on the analytic concepts of engineering components and systems. In simplified terms, the book focuses on engineering characteristics and behaviors using numerical methods. Readers will learn how the computational aspects of engineering analysis can be applied to develop various engineering systems to a level that is fit for implementation.Provides numerical examples and graphical representations of complex mathematical modelsIncludes downloadable spreadsheets of the numerical tools discussed that allow the reader to gain a hands-on understanding of how they workExplains the engineering foundations behind the increasingly widespread and complex numerical models

Explains the challenges that new, collaborative forms of organisation generate with reference to how management control systems and accounting information exchanges are practised and designed at an inter-organisational level.

Contains a brief summary of the relevant international accounting standards; and selection of questions illustrating how international standards are used in practice. This book examines the framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements. It also looks at the development of IASB.

Offers guidance in understanding a typical organizational structure of any type of technical firm or company. This book features numerous hands-on examples of typical projects from representative industries and organizations of various kinds.

Based on familiar circuit theory and basic physics, this book serves as a reference for both analog and digital engineers alike, particularly for those who work with analog RF. It covers topics using conceptual explanations and over 150 figures, in place of complex mathematics.

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.

Microfabrication and precision engineering is an increasingly important area relating to metallic, polymers, ceramics, composites, biomaterials and complex materials. Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) emphasize miniaturization in both electronic and mechanical components. Microsystem products may be classified by application, and have been applied to a variety of fields, including medical, automotive, aerospace and alternative energy. Microsystems technology refers to the products as well as the fabrication technologies used in production. With detailed information on modelling of micro and nano-scale cutting, as well as innovative machining strategies involved in microelectrochemical applications, microchannel fabrication, as well as underwater pulsed Laser beam cutting, among other techniques, Microfabrication and Precision Engineering is a valuable reference for students, researchers and professionals in the microfabrication and precision engineering fields.Contains contributions by top industry expertsIncludes the latest techniques and strategiesSpecial emphasis given to state-of-the art research and development in microfabrication and precision engineering
