HVAC Engineer’s Handbook, Eleventh Edition
By F. PorgesIn the almost sixty years since the publication of the first edition of HVAC Engineer’s Handbook, it has become widely known as a highly useful and definitive reference for HVAC engineers and technicians alike, and those working on domestic hot and cold water services, gas supply and steam services.

The 11th edition continues in the tradition of previous editions, being easily transportable and therefore an integral part of the HVAC engineer or technician’s daily tools.

Newly updated data on natural ventilation, ventilation rates, free cooling and night-time cooling, make the 11th edition of the HVAC Engineer’s Handbook a vital source of information.

Fred Porges has worked in both the manufacturing and process industries, and became a partner in a building services consultancy in 1962. He has held senior positions with design contractors, and his experience covers every building service and type of building from schools to housing, factories to laboratories.

* Provides comprehensive data in compact form for ease of use
* Keep up to date with a full comparative summary of all air conditioning techniques
* Provides you with must-have information for dealing with HVAC

The Role of Reflection in Managerial Learning: Theory, Research, and Practice
By Kent W. Seibert, Marilyn W. Daudelin

Book Description:

Challenging work experiences are the richest source of learning for today’s managers. Yet lessons embedded in these experiences are not always obvious. This comprehensive book describes a critical yet under-researched element of how managers learn from these experiences: reflection. Today’s workplace demands continual learning, which in turn requires reflection. While this book supports the prevailing view that reflection is central to experiential learning, it challenges the traditional views that it is the same as contemplation, that it is incompatible with management, and that it is time-consuming and unnatural for managers. Original quantitative and qualitative research reported in this book indicates that two different yet complementary modes of managerial reflection exist: active and proactive. Active reflection is something that managers naturally engage in during challenging job experiences, whereas managers must be prompted to engage in proactive reflection. Both modes involve processes of intentional inquiry. Different forces are necessary to stimulate each type of reflection. Based on these findings, the claim is made that the potential to learn from experience is greatest when managers intentionally engage in both modes. Accordingly, a holistic model that integrates active and proactive reflection is presented. This model has important implications for theorists and researchers of managerial learning by identifying previously unreported aspects of reflection. It is also relevant to practitioners and companies who desire to enhance what their managers learn from their workplace experience.

Preface
The purpose of these notes is be used to introduce Electrical Engineering students to Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Electrical Drives. They are primarily to serve our students at MSU: they come to the course on Energy Conversion and Power Electronics with a solid background in Electric Circuits and Electromagnetics, and many want to acquire a basic working knowledge of the material, but plan a career in a different area (venturing as far as computer or mechanical engineering). Other students are interested in continuing in the study of electrical machines and drives, power electronics or power systems, and plan to take further courses in the field. Starting from basic concepts, the student is led to understand how force, torque, induced voltages and currents are developed in an electrical machine. Then models of the machines are developed, in terms of both simplified equations and of equivalent circuits, leading to the basic understanding of modern machines and drives. Power electronics are introduced, at the device and systems level, and electrical drives are discussed. Equations are kept to a minimum, and in the examples only the basic equations are used to solve simple problems.
These notes do not aim to cover completely the subjects of Energy Conversion and Power Electronics, nor to be used as a reference, not even to be useful for an advanced course. They are meant only to be an aid for the instructor who is working with intelligent and interested students, who are taking their first (and perhaps their last) course on the subject. How successful this endeavor has been will be tested in the class and in practice. In the present form this text is to be used solely for the purposes of teaching the introductory course on Energy Conversion and Power Electronics at MSU.
