SDN, Openflow, and Open vSwitch
Pocket Primer
Thomas F. Herbert
This book begins by discussing the theory behind SDN and how
it is transforming traditional networking implementation and
management. Next the book explores the internals of an SDN switch
and controller implementation. Finally the book provides practical
examples of configuration an SDN switch utilizing detailed illustrations.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new way of controlling
computer networks that is redefining the world of computer network
management. The main idea behind SDN is to separate the control
plane from the data plane to allow more centralized and efficient
management of computer networks. By centralizing management
and separating management from the device being managed, SDN
enables the commoditization of networking infrastructure equipment.
It promotes scalability from small to large enterprise and provider
networks.

COMSOL 5 for Engineers
Mehrzad Tabatabaian
COMSOL 5 Multiphysics is one of the most valuable software
modeling tools for engineers and scientists. This book, an updated
edition of the previously published, COMSOL for Engineers, covers
COMSOL 5 which now includes a revolutionary tool, the Application
Builder. This component enables users to build apps based on
COMSOL models that can be run on almost any operating system
(Windows, MAC, mobile/iOS, etc.). Designed for engineers from
various disciplines, the book introduces multiphysics modeling
techniques and examples accompanied by practical applications
using COMSOL 5.x. The main objective is to introduce readers to use
COMSOL as an engineering tool for modeling, by solving examples
that could become a guide for modeling similar or more complicated
problems. The book provides a collection of examples and modeling
guidelines through which readers can build their own models. The
mathematical fundamentals, engineering principles, and design
criteria are presented as integral parts of the examples. At the end of
chapters are references that contain more in-depth physics, technical
information, and data; these are referred to throughout the book and used in the
examples. COMSOL 5 for Engineers could be used to complement another text that
provides background training in engineering computations and methods. Exercises
are provided at the end of the text for use in adoption situations.

A New Approach to Estimation of
Methane Emission Rates from Landfills
Han Zhu
Methane emission monitoring has become increasingly essential for diffusive
area sources, especially for landfills, which contribute to a significant fraction of
the total anthropogenic methane emission globally. In this study, a new method
is proposed based on experimental results, which utilizes a TDLAS (Tunable
Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) instrument – GasFinder2.0® system and
a dispersion model LASAT (Lagrangian Simulation of Aerosol Transport) as the
measurement device and calculation model, respectively. With this method,
site-specific measurement approaches can be designed for not only landfills,
but also different diffusive area sources with less workload and lower cost
compared to conventional FID (Flame Ionization Detector) method.
FEATURES:
• Development of a new approach to calculating landfill methane emission
rate.
• Utilization of the TDLAS device GasFinder2.0® system for methane
measurement.
• Computerized calculation of source emission rate based on LASAT.
• Adoption of meteorological data in the modelling process.
• A versatile approach to diffusive area sources of different dimensions.

In the present time, with industrial furnace technology booming, on the one
hand, and the costs of gaseous fuels and electrical energy rising steeply, on the
other, interest in heat-processing technology has again increased. The rational
use of energy in thermoprocessing technology is also of ever more crucial
importance, as a result, not least of all, of CO2-emissions legislation. This, of
course, provides the background to the necessity for technical works covering
the topic of industrial thermal technology and thermoprocessing.
The Handbook of Heat Processing fully meets these needs, examining the
current state-of-the-art and all relevant fundamentals in an extremely
practically orientated manner. The reader is given a detailed overview of all
relevant factors, calculations, terms and processes used in industrial heat
technology, and therefore important tips for his or her daily work.
This compact-format handbook, with its abundance of useful information, is an
indispensable reference work for all those who in any way work or come into
contact with thermoprocessing technology and the design, construction and/or
operation of industrial furnaces.
PARTIAL CONTENTS:
General information. Hea t transfer. Fluid mechanics. Gaseous fuels.
Combustion, Burners. Energy balances and energy efficiency for industrial
furnaces. Electrothermal processes. Basic principles of protective and reaction

Newtonian Mechanics
Essentials of Physics Series
Derek Raine
Newtonian mechanics is taught as part of every physics program
for several reasons. It is a towering intellectual achievement; it has
diverse applications; and it provides a context for teaching modelling
and problem solving. This text gives equal prominence to all three
missions. It therefore includes some advanced material as well as the
customary introductory topics and is designed to be studied over an
extended time-frame. The problem-solving aspects are developed
more fully than in many other texts; showing readers how problems are
approached and bringing out the ways of going about constructing a
model and solution.

Solid State Physics
Essentials of Physics Series
David Schmool
Solid State Physics provides a broad introduction to some of the
principal areas of the physical phenomena in solid materials and is
aimed broadly at undergraduate students of physics and engineering
related subjects. The physical properties of materials are intimately
related to the crystalline symmetry of atoms as well as the atomic
species present. This includes the electronic, mechanical, magnetic
and optical properties of all materials. These subjects are treated
in depth and aim to provide the reader with the tools necessary for
an understanding of the varied phenomena of materials. Particular
emphasis is given to the reaction of materials to specific stimuli, such
as the application of electric and magnetic fields. Nanotechnologies
are based on the formation of nano-sized elements and structures. The
final chapter of the book provides a broad introduction to the topic
and uses some of the main tools of solid state physics to explain the
behavior of nanomaterials and why they are of importance for future
technologies.
David Schmool completed his doctoral studies at the University of
York. He has held research posts in several Universities in the UK, Italy,
Spain, and France.

Computational Physics
Essentials of Physics Series
Darren Walker
372 pages 6 x 9
This book is designed to provide the reader with a grounding in
scientific programming and computational physics. It contains many
exercises developed in the context of physics problems, and several
examples of working programs to provide a solid basis on which to
build. Computers are now ubiquitous and are an essential tool to any
would-be scientific researcher. Computers can be used for a wide
variety of scientific tasks, from the simple manipulation of data to
simulations of real world events. The book intends to give the reader
the confidence to start applying the methods presented to their
own problems and research. It covers topics such as interpolation,
integration, and the numerical solutions to both ordinary and partial
differential equations. It discusses simple ideas, such as linear
interpolation, and root finding through bisection, to more advanced
concepts, such as the Gauss-Legendre quadrature, and the RungeKutta-Fehlberg algorithm to solve complex differential equations. It
also contains a chapter on high performance computing that provides
an introduction to parallel programming.

Quantum Mechanics
Essentials of Physics Series
Dennis Morris
This book is a slow-paced introduction to quantum mechanics for
undergraduates and interested laypersons. The presentation is both
reader-friendly and complete. The first four chapters cover the
conceptual and philosophical aspects of quantum mechanics, before
the next eleven chapters gently present the mathematics underlying
the subject. After an easy chapter on the history of the theory, the
whole of quantum mechanics is then presented in one chapter. This is
followed by applications of the theory and a revision chapter, before
we go beyond undergraduate level to briefly look ahead at relativistic
quantum theory.
FEATURES:
• Provides introduction to quantum mechanics for undergraduates
and interested laypersons
• Offers presentation of topic that is both reader friendly and
complete
Dennis Morris has spent over two decades researching the nature of
empty space and time. He is at the forefront of this area of theoretical
physics. He is also the author of works on finite group spaces and
