The historical, cultural and technical backgrounds of the mechanisms are explained, and various mechanisms described and illustrated in ancient books are introduced. By utilizing the idea for the conceptual design of modern mechanisms, all feasible designs of ancient mechanisms with uncertain members and joints that meet the technical standards of the subjects? time periods are synthesized systematically. Ancient Chinese crossbows (the original crossbow and repeating crossbows), textile mechanisms (silk-reeling mechanism, spinning mechanisms, and looms), and many other artisan's tool mechanisms are used as illustrated examples.  Such an approach provides a logical method for the reconstruction designs of ancient mechanisms with uncertain structures. It also provides an innovative direction for researchers to further identify the original structures of mechanisms and machines with drawings in ancient literature. This book can be used as a textbook and/or supplemental reading material for courses related to history of ancient (Chinese) machinery and creative mechanism design for senior and graduate students. 410 0$aHistory of mechanism and machine science ;$vv. 23. 606 $aTechnical illustration$xHistory 606 $aIllustration of books$zChina$xHistory 606 $aMechanical drawing 606 $aMechanical movements$xHistory 615 0$aTechnical illustration$xHistory. 615 0$aIllustration of books$xHistory. 615 0$aMechanical drawing. 615 0$aMechanical movements$xHistory. 676 $a604.209 676 $a620.1009 700 $aHsiao$b Kuo-Hung$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0897245 702 $aYan$b Hong-Sen$f1951- 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299498703321 996 $aMechanisms in Ancient Chinese Books with Illustrations$92004554 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03483nam 22005295 450 001 9910347931603321 005 20250610110429.0 010 $a3-319-75134-4 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-75134-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000009590433 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5962829 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-75134-4 035 $a(PPN)248603604 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC29444751 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000009590433 100 $a20191017d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWind Energy for Power Generation $eMeeting the Challenge of Practical Implementation /$fby K.

It contextualizes pivotal technical information within the real complexities of economic, environmental, practical and socio-economic parameters. This matrix of coverage includes case studies and analysis from developed and developing regions, including North America and Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle-East and Africa. Crucial issues to power generation professionals and utilities such as: capacity credits; fuel saving; intermittency; penetration limits; relative cost of electricity by generation source; growth and cost trends; incentives; and wind integration issues are addressed. Other economic issues succinctly discussed inform financial commitment to a project, including investment matrices, strategies for economic evaluations, econometrics of wind energy, cost comparisons of various investment strategies, and cost comparisons with other energy sources. Due to its encompassing scope, this reference will be of distinct interest to practicing engineers, policy and decision makers, project planners, investors and students working in the area of wind energy for power generation. 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aMechanical engineering 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aMechanical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17004 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 0$aMechanical engineering. 615 14$aRenewable and Green Energy. 615 24$aMechanical Engineering. 615 24$aRenewable and Green Energy. 676 $a621.312136 700 $aRao$b K.
