Sommario/riassunto

From its inception nearly 30 years ago, the optical subdiscipline now referred to as nonimaging optics, has experienced dramatic growth. The term nonimaging optics is concerned with applications where imaging formation is not important but where effective and efficient collection , concentration,  transport and distribution of light energy is - i.e. solar energy conversion, signal detection, illumination optics, measurement and testing. This book will incorporate the substantial developments of the past decade in this field.* Includes all substantial developments of the past decade in

Sommario/riassunto

Alternative jet fuel has been an active area of research and development since the 1973 oil embargo. Research goals have included establishing energy security, lowering fuel costs, and reducing emissions with a focus on developing cost-effective methodologies for processing and sustaining jet fuel production from shale, tar sands, coal, biomass, end use waste, and CO2. Physical and chemical properties, such as the viscosity, vapor pressure, boiling range, freeze point and hydrogen content, have been measured for many potential alternative jet fuels. Combustion characteristics, such as lean blow-out and ignition, have also been investigated in gas turbine engines and fundamental combustion devices. The compilation of this research has resulted in a large technical base for understanding the combustion of alternative jet fuels that have a wide range of physical and chemical properties and operating in different combustion devices.

Sommario/riassunto

The delivery of essential goods to beneficiaries in the aftermath of a disaster is one of the main objectives of relief logistics. Thereby, the present work aims to improve relief logistics by improving the location selection of warehouses, distribution centers, and points of distribution. Consequently, it offers the potential to significantly improve the distribution of goods in the aftermath of future disasters and, thereby, increase disaster resilience.
