The Vacuum Interrupter Theory Design and Application

Title: The Vacuum Interrupter: Theory Design and ApplicationShelving guide: Electrical Engineering Dr. Paul Slade draws from his nearly six decades of active experience to develop this second edition of The Vacuum Interrupter: Theory Design and Application. This book begins by discussing the design requirements for high voltage vacuum interrupters and then the contact requirements to interrupt the vacuum arc. It then continues by describing the various applications in which the vacuum interrupter is generally utilized. Part 1 of this book begins with a detailed review of the vacuum breakdown process. It continues by covering the steps necessary for the design and the manufacture of a successful vacuum interrupter. The vacuum arc is then discussed including how it is affected as a function of current. An overview of the development and use of practical contact materials along with their advantages and disadvantages follows. Contact designs that are introduced to control the high current vacuum arc are also analyzed. Part 2 on application begins with a discussion of the arc interruption process for low current and high current vacuum arcs. It examines the voltage escalation phenomenon that can occur when interrupting inductive circuits. The occurrence of contact welding for closed contacts subjected to the passage of high currents and for contacts when closing on high currents is explored. The general requirements for the successful manufacture and testing of vacuum circuit breakers is then presented. The general application of vacuum interrupters to switch load currents especially when applied to capacitor circuits is also given. The interruption of high short circuit currents is presented along with the expected performance of the two major contact designs. Owing to the ever-increasing need for environmentally friendly circuit protection devices the development and application of the vacuum interrupter will only increase in the future. At present the vacuum circuit breaker is the technology of choice for distribution circuits (5kV to 40. 5kV). It is increasingly being applied to transmission circuits (72. 5kV to 242kV). In the future its application for protecting high voltage DC networks is assured. Audience This is a practical source book for engineers and scientists interested in studying the development and application of the vacuum interrupter Research scientists in industry and universities Graduate students beginning their study of vacuum interrupter phenomena Design engineers applying vacuum interrupters in vacuum switches vacuum contactors vacuum circuit breakers and vacuum contactors It provides a unique and comprehensive review of all aspects of vacuum interrupter technology for those new to the subject and for those who wish to obtain a deeper understanding of its science and application Scientists and engineers who are beginning their research into vacuum breakdown and aspects of the vacuum arc will find the extensive bibliography and phenomenological descriptions to be a useful introduction | The Vacuum Interrupter Theory Design and Application

Historical Agriculture and Soil Erosion in the Upper Mississippi Valley Hill Country

This thought-provoking book demonstrates how processes of landscape transformation usually illustrated only in simplified or idealized form play out over time in real complex landscapes. Trimble illustrates how a simple landscape disturbance generated in this case by agriculture can spread an astonishing variety of altered hydrologic and sedimentation processes throughout a drainage basin. The changes have spatial and temporal patterns forced on them by the distinctive topographic structure of drainage basins. Through painstaking field surveys comparative photographic records careful dating a skillful eye for subtle landscape features and a geographer’s interdisciplinary understanding of landscape processes the author leads the reader through the arc of an instructive and encouraging story. Farmers—whose unfamiliarity with new environmental conditions led initially to landscape destruction impoverishment and instability—eventually adapted their land use and settlement practices and supported by government institutions recovered and enriched the same working landscape. For the natural scientist Historical Agriculture and Soil Erosion in the Upper Mississippi Valley Hill Country illustrates how an initially simple alteration of land cover can set off a train of unanticipated changes to runoff erosion and sedimentation processes that spread through a landscape over decades—impoverishing downstream landscapes and communities. Distinct zones of the landscape respond differently and in sequence. The effects take a surprisingly long time to spread through a landscape because sediment moves short distances during storms and can persist for decades or centuries in relatively stable forms where it resists further movement because of consolidation plant reinforcement and low gradients. For the social scientist the book raises questions of whether and how people can be alerted early to their potential for environmental disturbance but also for learning and adopting restorative practices. Trimble’s commitment to all aspects of this problem should energize both groups. —Professor Thomas Dunne Bren School of Environmental Science and Management UC Santa Barbara

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Traditional fermented foods are not only the staple food for most of developing countries but also the key healthy food for developed countries. As the healthy functions of these foods are gradually discovered more high throughput biotechnologies are being used to promote the fermented food industries. As a result the microorganisms process biochemistry manufacturing and down-streaming processing as well as the bioactive metabolites released by the fermenting organisms and above all the healthy functions of these foods were extensively researched. The application and progress of biotechnology and biochemistry of traditional fermented food systems are different from each other as the microorganisms and the food matrices vary widely. Part I (Biochemistry and Biotechnology) of this book (Fermented Foods) discusses the general aspects of biochemistry and biotechnological application of fermented foods involving acetic acid bacteria lactic acid bacteria ethanolic yeasts and fungi in accelerating the many and variable functional factors in the fermented foods as well as metagenomics of fermented foods. The detailed technological interventions involved in different categories of fermented foods such as fermented cereals (bread and sourdough) fermented milk products (yogurt cheese) fermented sausages fermented vegetables (kimchi sauerkraut) fermented legumes (tempeh natto) and coffee and cocoa fermentations and fermented beverages (animal- and plant-based) with their potential and actual health benefits are discussed in Part II (Fermented Foods: Technological Interventions). | Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in a wide range of foods (cereals peanut tree nuts dried fruits coffee cocoa grapes spices…) both in the field and after harvest particularly during storage. They can also be found in processed foods of plant origin or by transfer in food products of animal (milk eggs meat and offal). Mycotoxins are of major concern since they can cause acute or chronic intoxications in both humans and animals which are sometimes fatal. Many countries particularly in Europe have set maximum acceptable levels for mycotoxins in food and feed. The book reviews the latest literature and innovations on important aspects of mycotoxins e. g. mycotoxin producing fungi and the related ecosystems mycotoxin occurrence toxicity analysis and management. Quantitative estimations of impacts of climate change on mycotoxin occurrence have been made recently using predictive modelling. There is also a growing interest in the occurrence and toxicity of multiple mycotoxins in food and feed including emerging or modified forms of mycotoxins. Innovative tools were also developed to detect and quantify toxinogenic fungi and their toxins. In order to reduce the use of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and health of consumers alternative methods of prevention and decontamination of mycotoxins were tested in pre- and post-harvest using microorganisms natural substances or radiation treatments. | Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I
