This thesis presents fundamental work that explains two mysteries concerning the trajectory of interplanetary spacecraft.For the first problem, the so-called Pioneer anomaly, a wholly new and innovative method was developed for computing all contributions to the acceleration due to onboard thermal sources. Through a careful analysis of all parts of the spacecraft Pioneer 10 and 11, the application of this methodology has yielded the observed anomalous acceleration. This marks a major achievement, given that this problem remained unsolved for more than a decade.For the second anomaly, the flyby anomaly, a tiny glitch in the velocity of spacecraft that perform gravity assisting maneuvers on Earth, no definitive answer is put forward; however a quite promising strategy for examining the problem is provided and a new mission is proposed. The proposal largely consists in using the Galileo Navigational Satellite System to track approaching spacecraft, and in considering a small test body that approaches Earth from a highly elliptic trajectory.

Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines is the established essential text for the fundamental solutions to efficient wind turbine design.Now in its third edition, it has been substantially updated with respect to structural dynamics and control. The new control chapter now includes details on how to design a classical pitch and torque regulator to control rotational speed and power, while the section on structural dynamics has been extended with a simplified mechanical system explaining the phenomena of forward and backward whirling modes. Readers will also benefit from a new chapter on Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT).Topics covered include increasing mass flow through the turbine, performance at low and high wind speeds, assessment of the extreme conditions under which the turbine will perform and the theory for calculating the lifetime of the turbine. The classical Blade Element Momentum method is also covered, as are eigenmodes and the dynamic behaviour of a turbine.The book describes the effects of the dynamics and how this can be modelled in an aeroelastic code, which is widely used in the design and verification of modern wind turbines. Furthermore, it examines how to calculate the vibration of the whole construction, as well as the time varying loads and global case studies.

The material contained in the book includes recent advances in experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics and is suitable for both teaching and research.- Includes introductory lectures with a minimum of mathematics on various topics related to fluid dynamics both from an experimental and theoretical point of view.- Recent advances in experimental and theoretical fluid dynamics are presented in short papers.- The material contained in the book is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students.

If your idea of a strange aircraft is the pre-war DH Dragon Rapide, a bloated Boeing Super Guppy or a BA Airbus with an ethnic tail design, then think again.What about Horatio Phillips Multiplane with its 200 separate wings? Or the Hughes H-4 Hercules, the plane with the longest wingspan ever, which was made entirely from plywood? And who could forget the Caspian Sea Monster a ten-engine, 550,000kg giant designed to fly at 500kph at a mindboggling altitude of just 4m?Exploring the strangest aircraft ever conceived, Keith Ray reveals the madness of many a designer and marketing guru in this highly entertaining homage to some of the aviation worlds more bizarre aircraft.

La valorización de los residuos industriales dentro del sector de la construcción ha constituido un gran esfuerzo técnico y científico en las últimas décadas, tratando de buscar nuevas materias primas que sustituyan en mayor o menor grado los recursos naturales utilizados.El objetivo fundamental de esta monografia es estudiar la viabilidad de utilizar los residuos de la industria ceramica sanitaria como arido grueso reciclado en la fabricacion de hormigones estructurales.

While this book provides an ideal introduction to manned spacecraft design principles, it also includes topics not often discussed in a standard aerospace curriculum, including atmospheric entry dynamics, space launch dynamics, hypersonic flow fields, hypersonic heat transfer, skin friction, and more.Manned Spacecraft Design Principles presents readers with a brief, to-the-point primer that includes a detailed introduction to the information required at the preliminary design stage of a manned space transportation system.In the process of developing the preliminary design, the book covers content not often discussed in a standard aerospace curriculum, including atmospheric entry dynamics, space launch dynamics, hypersonic flow fields, hypersonic heat transfer and skin friction, along with the economic aspects of space flight.Key concepts relating to human factors and crew support systems are also included, providing users with a comprehensive guide on how to make informed choices from an array of competing options. The book can be used in conjunction with Sforza''s, Commercial Aircraft Design Principles to form a complete course in Aircraft/Spacecraft Design.- Involves the reader in the preliminary design of a modern manned spacecraft and associated launch vehicle.- Contains standard, empirical, and classical methods in support of the design process.- Culminates in the preparation of a professional quality design report.

Air Transportation: A Management Perspective by John Wensveen is a proven textbook that offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of air transportation management. In addition to explaining the fundamentals, the book transports the reader to the leading edge of the discipline, using past and present trends to forecast future challenges and opportunities the industry may face, encouraging the reader to really think about the decisions a manager implements. Written in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand style, the Eighth Edition modernizes the text focusing on newly emerging management trends, innovative technology, and an increased emphasis on global changes in the industry that will change the future of aviation. New and updated material has been added throughout the text including mini case examples and supplemental presentation materials for each chapter. Air Transportation: A Management Perspective is suitable for almost all aviation programs that feature business and management. Its student-friendly structure and style make it highly suitable for modular courses and distance-learning programs, or for self-directed study and continuing personal professional development.

Para adquirir competencia en el análisis de procesos se requiere una doble capacidad por parte del ingeniero. La primera y más evidente de ellas es que debe poseer unos conocimientos sólidos y versátiles tanto de ingenieria como de matematicas. En segundo lugar, debe ser suficientemente perceptivo para encontrar donde las tecnicas descritas en este libro se pueden emplear con mayor eficacia que los metodos ingenieriles clasicos.Este libro tiene un doble objetivo. Primero, se resaltan los fundamentos de la construccion de modelos para familiarizar al ingeniero con los principios y pericias necesarios para la aplicacion de los modelos matematicos. Segundo, se ha tratado de impulsar la destreza para la aplicacion de la construccion de modelos a la variedad de sistemas y subsistemas.
