The absolute character of rotation is well known since the very beginning of the modern scientific era. Some experimental evidence, such as Foucault’s pendulum and the Sagnac effect, are indeed conclusive. This absolute character is easily understood in the framework of Newtonian physics, but it sounds puzzling in the framework of relativistic physics. The debate pertaining to the relativistic approach to rotation started just after the publication of Einstein’s theory, and it is still ongoing. This discussion has stimulated the development of relativistic physics for a cen

Co-rotating screws and/or extruders are used in many branches of industry for producing, preparing and/or processing highly viscous materials. They find a wide variety of applications especially in the plastics, rubber and food industries. This book provides basic engineering knowledge regarding twin-screw machines; it lists the most important machine-technical requirements and provides examples based on actual practice. Better understanding of the processes is emphasized as this is a prerequisite for optimizing twin-screw designs and operating them efficiently.

Lucid, well-written presentation for upper-level undergraduates or beginning graduate students. Invaluable for engineers and scientists whose projects require a knowledge of the theory. Part I reviews basic fluid mechanics needed to understand rest of text. Part II introduces concepts, theories, and equations specific to rotating fluids, and Part III presents numerous practical applications of the theory, in fields ranging from centrifuges to aerodynamics. "Highly recommended."--Choice.

Rotating machinery (eg pumps, motors, compressors) is normally manufactured to precise measurements but there comes a point when the costs of manufacture mean that further precision is not cost-effective and thus any slight imbalance inherent in the machine will need to be attended to after manufacture. When such machinery is in operation, often at very high speeds of thousands of revs per minute, any imbalance will set up vibration and often noise. In addition, such imbalance will cause extra wear and loss of efficiency in the machine. The answer is to balance the affected parts of the machi
