Review:

Today's students in introductory operations research courses tend to be very interested in learning more about the relevance of the material being covered, including how it is actually being used in practice. Therefore, without diluting any of the features of the 6th edition, the focus of the revision for this edition has been on increasing the motivation and excitement of the students by making the book considerably more "real world" oriented and accessible. The new emphasis on the kinds of software that practitioners use is one thrust in this direction. Other major new features are outlined below.


Twenty-five elaborate new cases, embedded in a realistic setting and employing a stimulating storytelling approach, have been added at the end of the problem sections. All but one of these cases were developed jointly by two talented case writers, Karl Schmedders (a faculty member at the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University) and Molly Stephens (recently an operations research consultant with Andersen Consulting). We also have further fleshed out six cases that were in the 6th edition. The cases generally require relatively challenging and comprehensive analyses with substantial use of the computer. Therefore, they are suitable for student projects, working either individually or in teams, and can then lead to class discussion of the analysis.

A complementary new feature is that many new problems embedded in a realistic setting have been added to the problem section of many chapters. Some of the current problems also have been fleshed out in a more interesting way.

This edition also places much more emphasis on providing perspective in terms of what is actually happening in the practice of operations research. What kinds ofapplications are occuring? What sizes of problems are being solved? Which models and techniques are being used most widely? What are their shortcomings and what new developments are beginning to address these shortcomings? These kinds of questions are being addressed to convey the relevance of the techniques under discussion. Eight new sections (Secs. 10.7, 12.2, 15.6, 18.5, 19.8, 20.1, 20.10, and 22.2) are fully devoted to discussing the practice of operations research in such ways, along with briefer mentions elsewhere.

The new emphases describe above benefited greatly from our work in developing our recent new textbook with Mark S. Hillier (Introduction to Management Science: A Modeling and Case Studies Approach with Spreadsheets, Irwin/McGraw-Hill, 2000). That book has a very different orientation from this one. It is aimed directly at businessstudents rather than students who may be in engineering and the mathematical sciences, and it provides almost no coverage of the mathematical and algorithms ofoperations research. Nevertheless, its applied orientation enabled us to adapt some excellent material developed for that book to provide a more well-rounded coverage in this edition.

HANDBOOK OF MODERN SENSORS: PHYSICS, DESIGNS, AND APPLICATIONS BY JACOB FRADEN

• Hardcover: 589 pages
• Publisher: Springer; 3rd edition (December 4, 2003)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0387007504
• ISBN-13: 978-0387007502

Product Description

The Handbook's coverage of sensors is extensive, ranging from simple photodiodes to complex devices containing components in combination. It offers hard-to-find reference data on the properties of numerous materials and sensing elements and emphasizes devices that are less well-known, whose technology is still being refined, and whose use permits the measurement of variables that were previously inaccessible.

From the Back Cover

This book is about devices commonly called sensors. Digital systems, however complex and intelligent they might be, must receive information from the outside world that is generally analog and not electrical. Sensors are interface devices between various physical values and the electronic circuits who "understand" only a language of moving electrical charges. In other words, sensors are the eyes, ears, and noses of silicon chips.
Unlike other books on sensors, this book is organized according to the measured variables (temperature, pressure, position, etc.) that make it much more practical and easier to read. In this new edition recent ideas and developments have been addedwhile less important and non-essential designs were dropped. Sections on practicaldesigns and use of the modern micro-machining technologies have been revised substantially.
This book is a reference text that can be used by students, researchers interested in modern instrumentation (applied physicists and engineers), sensor designers, application engineers and technicians whose job it is to understand, select and/or design sensors for practical systems.
The scope of this book is rather broad covering many different designs. Some are well known, but describing them is still useful for students and those who look for a convenient reference. It is the author’s intention to present a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the theory (physical principles), design, and practical implementations of various sensors for scientific, industrial, and consumer applications.

ISBN-10 / ASIN:   0471152323 
ISBN-13 / EAN:   9780471152323 

Product Description: 
For the past three decades, Sonntag, Borgnakke, and Van Wylen's FUNDAMENTALS OF THERMODYNAMICS has been the leading textbook in the field. Now updated and enhanced with numerous worked examples, homework problems, and illustrations, and a rich selection of Web-based learning resources, the new Sixth Edition continues to present a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of classical thermodynamics, while retaining an engineering perspective.
The text lays the groundwork for subsequent studies in fields such as fluid mechanics,heat transfer and statistical thermodynamics, and prepares students to effectively apply thermodynamics in the practice of engineering.



Summary: NOT STUDENT FRIENDLY WHEN LEARNING THERMO
Rating: 1
Hey, 
I needed this book for Thermo 1. This book is ridiculous. Perhaps it's good as a reference - I wouldn't know because I need to LEARN thermo first. Anyways, this book sucks at teaching thermodynamics. The best way I learn is by doing problems that cover the material. If I come across something I don't understand, I like to go back and check example problems. Indeed, there are example problems galore in this book. But they are completely different from the homework problems. The example problems tend to be simplistic and even in Chapter 6 they tend to emphasize concepts and techniques that were taught in Chapter 2. The homework problems at the end then go into great depth with the new material and it's just ridiculous trying to understand it without an example problem which is actually helpful. Please note that, for me, this lack of instruction was compounded by a professor who quite literally taught straight from the book - perhaps you will have more luck. This book is definitely not a student friendly book. 
Cheers

Summary: not very user friendly. the examples are hard to follow
Rating: 1
i dont like this book because it's structure is difficult to grasp. the examples are hard to follow also. 
very sketchy from topic to topic

Summary: Received on time in said condition
Rating: 5
I recived the book in a timely manner and was in good condition. 
Thank you.

Summary: An OK reference
Rating: 3
After using this book for one semester of thermodynamics I didn't really feel like I had a good handle on the material. There is far too much superfluous information in this book to make it thicker. Some of the sections I found to be unnecessary, especially the first chapter. The only redeeming qualities of the book are the exhaustive thermo tables and the great deal of homework problems at the back of each chapter. As a student, you might want a book which lays down the concepts before jumping so quickly to practice. 

Summary: Not so clear at all
Rating: 1
I would say it's more for grad students than undergrad, the way it's written makes you pull your hair out. If you really have to get this book make sure you get something else with it. also you better hope your professor is really a good teacher or else you're screwed. I always teach my self, but not with this book.

INDUSTRIAL PROCESS SENSORS BY DAVID M. SCOTT

Product Description

As manufacturing processes become increasingly complex, industry must rely on advanced sensor technology and process control to improve efficiency and product quality. Processes now need a variety of on-line measurements, such as filmthickness, particle size, solids concentrations, and contamination detection.Industrial Process Sensors provides a coherent review of the physical principles, design, and implementation of a wide variety of in-process sensors used to control manufacturing operations. Real data from commercial installations illustrates the operation and limitations of these devices. The book begins with a review of the basic physics of sound, light, electricity, and radiation, with a focus on their role in sensor devices. The author introduces the generic sensor model and discusses the propagation of measurement errors. He goes on to describe conventional process sensors that measure temperature, pressure, level, and flow. The second half of the book focuses on more advanced topics, such as particle size measurement in slurries and emulsions, tomography and process imaging of manufacturing operations, on-linemeasurement of film thickness, identification of polymer type for recycling, and characterization of reinforced polymers and composites. 
By exploring both theory and final implementation of sensors used to control industrialmanufacturing processes, Industrial Process Sensors provides the information you need to develop solutions to a wide range of industrial measurement needs.
