ASME Press Issues Three New Titles

ASME Press Issues Three New Titles ASME Press Issues Three New Titles Harikrishna Patadiya of San Jose State University (shown here at the ASME District D regional Old Guard Oral Presentation Competition last April) will be one of the 14 ASME student members taking part in the final round of the competition next month in San Diego, Calif.> ASME Press, the Society's professional reference books imprint, recently released two new books, Thermal Management of Telecommunications Equipment and Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems: A Practical Approach, Second Edition. A third new ASME Press publication, Containment Structures of U.S. Nuclear Power Plants, will be issued by the end of the month. Thermal Management of Telecommunications Equipment, by Lian-Tuu Yeh and Richard C. Chu, is a comprehensive handbook that addresses both thermal and mechanical reliabilities, as well as energy efficiency in the design of all types of telecommunications equipment, including indoor and outdoor systems. The 244-page book emphasizes providing practical solutions to thermal issues facing today's telecommunications industry. The material presented in the book is based on actual cases in design of a wide range of telecommunications equipment. The retail price for Thermal Management of Telecommunications Equipment is $129, but ASME members can purchase the book for $103. Another new book, Pipeline Pumping and Compression Systems: A Practical Approach, is a comprehensive professional reference that has been fully revised and updated for its second edition. It is both a training tool and text, covering all aspects of pipeline pumping and compression system design, configuration, and operation, in addition to the dynamic behavior of all the elements in each system. The authors provide practical solutions for achieving reliable operation of these systems. This book will serve as a useful guide for the design of liquid and gas pipeline transmissions, as well as a guide to various installation options. For practicing engineers in the pipeline and oil gas industry, specifically those involved with the design and operation of pumping and compression systems. The book is $164 for members, $219 for nonmembers. ASME Press will release a third book, Containment Structures of U.S. Nuclear Power Plants, in late November. The book, edited by Hansraj Ashar, features contributions from expert authors that examine the renewed relevance of nuclear power in the United States after decades of inactivity. The book provides an up-to-date, scholarly examination of containment structures, incorporating the underlying codes, regulations, safety significance, history, design philosophy, design experience, operating experience, and application to new design. Containment Structures of U.S. Nuclear Power Plants is intended to be a valuable asset to the nuclear utilities, nuclear regulators, and international organizations involved in the design and construction of nuclear power plants. The book will be available to ASME members for $149, and to nonmembers for $199. For more information on these and other ASME Press books, or to place an order, visit www.asme.org/shop/books.
