PyroSim is a graphical user interface for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). It is used to create fire simulations that accurately predict smoke movement, temperature, and toxin concentrations during a fire.
Glyn James, "Advanced Modern Engineering Mathematics, 4 edition"
1055 pages | 2011 | ISBN-10: 0273719238 | PDF | 8,2 MB
Building on the foundations laid in the companion text Modern Engineering Mathematics, this book gives an extensive treatment of some of the advanced areas of mathematics that have applications in various fields of engineering, particularly as tools for computer-based system modelling, analysis and design. The philosophy of learning by doing helps students develop the ability to use mathematics with understanding to solve engineering problems. A wealth of engineering examples and the integration of MATLAB and MAPLE further support students.
PetraSim is a graphical interface for TOUGH2, TOUGH2-MP, T2VOC, TMVOC, TOUGHREACT, TOUGH-Fx/HYDRATE, and TETRAD. These simulators are recognized for their powerful simulation capabilities involving fluid flow and heat transfer in porous and fractured media. The TOUGH2 codes have been applied to problems ranging from Yucca mountain groundwater flow to multi-component environmental remediation.
Pathfinder is a new evacuation simulator. Unlike flow-based or cell-based models, Pathfinder uses techniques from current computer science research to model the movement of individuals, building on technology used in the gaming and computer graphics industries. Pathfinder provides the tools necessary to make confident decisions regarding building layout and fire protection system design.
Foundation Engineering: Design and Construction in Tropical Soils By B.B.K. Huat, Faisal Haji Ali, Husaini Omar, Harwant Singh
256 Pages | 2006 | ISBN: 0415398983 | PDF | 87 MB
Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. Like other soils, they are used extensively in construction, being built upon and used as construction materials. Residual soils are formed when the processes of rock weathering proceed at a faster rate than the transport processes by water, gravity and wind, whereby much of the resulting soils will remain in place. The soil typically retains many of the characteristics of the parent rock. In a tropical region, residual soil layers can be very thick, sometimes extending for hundred of meters before reaching unweathered rock.
A. Anagnostopoulos, M. Pachakis and Ch. Tsatsanifos, "Proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering"
2064 pages | 2011 | English | ISBN: 1607508001 | PDF | 80 MB
This publication contains the papers presented at the 15th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, held in Athens, Greece. Considerable progress has been made in recent decades in understanding the engineering behavior of those hard soils and weak rocks that clearly fall into either the field of soil or of rock mechanics, and there have been important developments in design and construction methods to cope with them.

K. S. N. Raju, "Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, and Mass Transfer: Chemical Engineering Practice"
768 pages | English | ISBN: 0470637749 | 2011 | PDF | 85,7 MB
This broad-based book covers the three major areas of Chemical Engineering. Most of the books in the market involve one of the individual areas, namely, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer or Mass Transfer, rather than all the three. This book presents this material in a single source. This avoids the user having to refer to a number of books to obtain information.
Cecil Smith "Distillation Control: An Engineering Perspective"
344 pages | 2012 | ISBN: 0470381949 | PDF | 2,3 MB
Today, distillation is by far the most common separation technique used in the chemical and petroleum industries. Distillation Control approaches this subject from a process engineering perspective to explain the use of steady-state simulations to develop, to analyze, and to troubleshoot all aspects of column controls, including their practical application and cost benefits. Practicing engineers and other professionals working in process facilities that use distillation to separate materials will find this book a reliable companion.
The Semantic Web aims at enriching the existing Web with meta-data and processing methods so as to provide web-based systems with advanced capabilities, in particular with context awareness and decision support. The objective of this book is to provide a coherent introduction to semantic web methods and research issues with a particular emphasis on reasoning.

This book project was initiated at The Tribute Workshop in Honour of Gunnar Sparr and the follow-up workshop Inequalities, Interpolation, Non-commutative, Analysis, Non-commutative Geometry and Applications INANGA08, held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University in May and November of 2008.
Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics By Arthur P. Boresi, Ken Chong, James D. Lee
656 Pages | 3 edition 2011 | ISBN: 0470402555 | PDF | 9 MB
Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics has been prized by many aspiring and practicing engineers as an easy-to-navigate guide to an area of engineering science that is fundamental to aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering, and to other branches of engineering.
Engineering Economy, Sixth edition By Leland Blank, Anthony Tarquin
770 Pages | 2005 | ISBN: 0073203823 | PDF | 88 MB
The primary purpose of this text is to present the principles and applications of economic analysis in a clearly written fashion, supported by a large number and wide range of engineering-oriented examples, end-of-chapter exercises, and electronic-based learning options.
Engineering Solutions for Sustainability: Materials and Resources By Various
88 Pages | 2011 | ISBN: 1118175859 | PDF | 5 MB
A wealth of resources and topics of discussion from the Engineering Solutions for Sustainability: Materials and Resources workshop held in Switzerland in 2009
Natural resources are the lifeblood of agricultural and industrial endeavors that contribute to our social and economic well-being. Yet, even as these resources dwindle from mismanagement, there is still no clear consensus in the engineering community of what actually defines "sustainable engineering."
