Monographs in Modern Electrical Technology

This is a significant work in an important area, and one that is receiving growing attention. It has been estimated that many professional meetings currently devote a third or more of their time to...

There is an urgent interest today in controlling the environmental pollution that is a by-product of electric power generation. Thermal pollution—the rejection of waste heat into rivers and coastal...

The success of the Apollo moon flight program depended in no small part on the accuracy of the navigational and guidance systems developed at MIT's Charles Stark Draper Laboratory (formerly the Instrumentation...

No single aspect of electric-machinery analysis and design has received so much attention in the literature as that of how computers can be used in the process. Nevertheless, most of this material is...

This is the first definitive treatment of an analytically complex type of electric power converter (cycloconverter) operating between ac sources and loads, where the output frequency can be independently...

High-voltage and high-current technology, although extremely important to the electric power industry and high-energy physics research, suffers from inadequate published technical material on measurement...

In his introduction Dr. Waymouth remarks that “well over half the total amount of light produced in this country, and perhaps the world, is produced by electric discharge lamps.” This book brings...

Motor drives using solid-state power control elements though still in their early stages of development are progressing at a rapid pace. The next twenty-year period will see the electric automobile...
