Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book examines the fundamental evidence for many different aspects of change and evolution in ancient Egyptian technology. It includes discussion of the wider cognitive and social contexts, such as the Egyptian propensity for mental creativity and innovation, and the pace of change in Egypt in comparison with other African, Mediterranean and Near Eastern states. This book draws not only on traditional archaeological and textual sources but also on the results of scientific analyses of ancient materials and on experimental and ethno-archaeological information. Case-studies analyse those |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The final book of Sanders' three-volume set on turbine steam path, Sanders turns his focus to the details of design consideration for steam turbines. He relays all the information on mechanical design and function needed in evaluating turbine maufacture, maintance, and operation. This extensive work covers much of the technical material included in Sanders' seminar, Turbine Steam Path Engineering. This popular seminar has been developed over several years and presented to turbine engineers worldwide. |
