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.

NE W TITLE S | Engineering Just Released! 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. 312 pages 7 x 9 Hardcover with DVD US $79.95 978-1-942270-42-3 E-book US $39.95 978-1-942270-43-0 Engineering/ Modeling Software FEATURES: • Expands the Finite Element Method (FEM) theory and adds more examples from the original edition • Outlines the new features in COMSOL 5, the graphical user interface (GUI), and how to build a COMSOL app for models • Includes apps for selected model examples-with parameterization of these models • Features new and modified, solved model examples, in addition to the models provided in the original edition • Companion disc with executable copies of each model and their related animations TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1: Introduction to the Finite Element Method. 2.

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.

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.

NE W TITLE S | Science & Health New! 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.
