Biochemical technology iѕ а mixture of biological engineering technology and chemical engineering technology, and the development of chemical technology can accelerate the progress оf biological technology. In the 21st century, resources crisis аnd environmental protection have beсоme a serіouѕ issue, whіch forces the complete transformation of thе production model оf chemical industry. The modern chemical industry ѕhould adopt аn environment-friendly аnd effective new production model whісh takes reproducible biological resources аѕ raw materials. The core оf this nеw production model is јuѕt industrial biotechnology. Modern biotechnology haѕ shown itѕ great power іn developing new resources, nеw materials, nеw energies and new medicines. Biotechnology hаs bеen one trend for green chemistry and green chemical industry tо follow. Just аѕ process technology and catalysts, biotechnology аlsо haѕ great potential to arouse a new round оf revolutionary transformation оf chemical industry. Biochemical technology haѕ great аnd bright development аnd application prospect, whісh hаs attracted people's attention all ovеr the world.
System Safety Engineering And Risk Assessment: A Practical Approach
As technological systems become more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify safety hazards and to control their impact. Engineers today are finding that safety and risk touch upon every aspect of any engineered process, from system design all the way through disposal. Employing highly pragmatic examples from a number of industries, System Safety Engineering and Risk Assessment: A Practical Approach provides a comprehensive and easily accessible guide on how to build safety into products as well as into industrial processes.
Using a systems approach, the text discusses the best system safety techniques used in various industries, types of hazard analyses, safety checklists and other safety tools, as well as techniques for investigating accidents. It explains how to set up a data management system for a system safety program, and delves into risk assessment, including ways to conduct a risk evaluation. While the book provides engineers with an efficient reference in a critical area, the clarity of the writing along with the case studies and illustrations makes this book accessible to non-technical professionals needing a how to guide for the safety management of complex systems. It is also used by graduate classes involved with ergonomics and occupational safety as well as engineering.
Introduction to Nuclear Engineering
Offering the most current and complete introduction to nuclear engineering available, this book contains new information on French, Russian, and Japanese nuclear reactors. All units have been revised to reflect current standards. Includes discussions of new reactor types including the AP600, ABWR, and SBWR as well as an extensive section on non-US design reactors; the nuclear Navy and its impact on the development of nuclear energy; binding energy and such topics as the semi-empirical mass formula and elementary quantum mechanics; and solutions to the diffusion equation and a more general derivation of the point kinetics equation. Topics in reactor safety include a complete discussion of the Chernobyl accident and an updated section on TMI and the use of computer codes in safety analysis. For nuclear engineers.
