Sommario/riassunto

The Engineer's Guide to Plant Layout and Piping Design for the Oil and Gas Industries gives pipeline engineers and plant managers a critical real-world reference to design, manage, and implement safe and effective plants and piping systems for today's operations. This book fills a training void with complete and practical understanding of the requirements and procedures for producing a safe, economical, operable and maintainable process facility. Easy to understand for the novice, this guide includes critical standards, newer designs, practical checklists and rules of thumb. Due to a lack of structured training in academic and technical institutions, engineers and pipe designers today may understand various computer software programs but lack



the fundamental understanding and implementation of how to lay out process plants and run piping correctly in the oil and gas industry. Starting with basic terms, codes and basis for selection, the book focuses on each piece of equipment, such as pumps, towers, underground piping, pipe sizes and supports, then goes on to cover piping stress analysis and the daily needed calculations to use on the job.

Nota di contenuto

A cognitive reading of the Qur'ānic story of Joseph -- Joseph in the Life of Muḥammad : prophecy in Tafsīr (exegesis), Sīrah (biography) and Ḥadīth (tradition) -- Joseph and his avatars -- Intertextuality and reading : the myth of deliverance in al-Faraj ba'd al-Shiddah -- Imposture and allusion in the picaresque maqāmah.

Sommario/riassunto

The first study to analyse the recognition scene in the Arabic narrative tradition.<p>According to Aristotle, a well-crafted recognition scene is one of the basic constituents of a successful narrative. It is the point when hidden facts and identities come to light - in the classic instance,



a son discovers in horror that his wife is his mother and his children are his siblings. Aristotle coined the term 'anagnôrisis' for the concept. In this book Philip F. Kennedy shows how 'recognition' is key to an understanding of how one reads values and meaning into, or out of, a story. He analyses texts and motifs fundamental to the Arabic literary tradition in five case studies: the Qur'an; the biography of Muhammad; Joseph in classical and medieval re-tellings; the 'deliverance from adversity' genre and picaresque narratives.</p>Key Features<ul><li>Offers new vistas for reading, understanding and interpreting Arabic literature as well as the culture in which it was produced</li><li>Provides a comparative perspective, appealing to students of narrative literature across linguistic, regional and cultural traditions</li><li>Highlights the importance of intertextuality, showing the various ways in which literature and other genres of writing must be read together as manifestations of one complex cultural narrative</li><li>Demonstrates the fruitfulness of interdisciplinarity in literary studies</li></ul>
