Whether used for
aviation, manufacturing, oil and gas extraction, energy
distribution, nuclear or fossil fuel power generation, surveillance
or security, all control rooms share two common features. The people
operating them are often remote from the processes that they are
monitoring and controlling and the operations work 24/7. The twin
demands of remote and continuous operation place special
considerations on the design of central control rooms. Human
Factors in the Design and Evaluation of Central Control Room
Operations provides an analysis of Human Factors and
Ergonomics in this complex area and the implications for control
room staff. This information contained within this book can then be
used to design, assessed and evaluate control rooms.
Taking an integrated approach to Human Factors
and Ergonomics in the control room environment, the book presents
fourteen human factors topics: competencies, training, procedures,
communications, workload, automation, supervision, shift patterns,
control room layout, SCADA interfaces, alarms, control room
environment, human error, and safety culture. Although there are
many resources available on each of these topics, this book the
information together under one cover with a focus on central control
room operations. Each chapter is self-contained and can be read in
any order, as the information is required.

"A damning
history of the Chernobyl affair, from its origins in the plant's
primitive design and careless management to the economic and
political crisis the accident precipitated." —Clenn Garelik,
New York Times Book Review
On the morning of
April 26, 1986, a Soviet nuclear plant at Chernobyl (near Kiev)
exploded, pouring radioactivity into the environment and setting off
the worst disaster in the history of nuclear energy. Now a former
Soviet scientist gives a comprehensive account of the catastrophe.

5.Process Control Case Histories: An Insightful and Humorous
Perspective from the Control Room [Paperback]
Book Description
Publication Date: April
1, 2010 | ISBN-10: 1606501763 | ISBN-13: 978-1606501764
With a dose of humor to sweeten a serious message, noted control
systems author Greg McMillan offers an experienced-based guide to
what can so often go wrong with the systems that measure, regulate,
and control industrial processes - from pH measurements to
temperature and pressure monitors to process interlock problems.
Using anecdotes, dialogue and dramatized skits, the book helps make
more vivid the abstract concepts of how control systems actually do
- or don't - work in real industrial settings.

6.The 2011-2016 World Outlook for Inspection, Quality Control, Tool
Room, and Machinists' Precision Measuring Tools of Adjustable Size
[Paperback]
Book Description
Publication Date:
January 20, 2011
This econometric study covers the world outlook for inspection,
quality control, tool room, and machinists' precision measuring
tools of adjustable size across more than 200 countries. For each
year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or
potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question
(in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of
the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the
reader to quickly gauge a country vis-a-vis others. Using
econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics
within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates
are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in
the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the
product level. The study also does not consider short-term
cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study,
therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run
view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for inspection, quality control, tool room, and machinists' precision measuring tools of adjustable size. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

The practice of
engineering noise control demands a solid understanding of the
fundamentals of acoustics, the practical application of current
noise control technology and the underlying theoretical concepts.
This fully revised and updated fourth edition provides a
comprehensive explanation of these key areas clearly, yet without
oversimplification. Written by experts in their field, the practical
focus echoes advances in the discipline, reflected in the fourth
edition’s new material, including:
- completely updated coverage of sound transmission loss, mufflers and exhaust stack directivity
- a new chapter on practical numerical acoustics
- thorough explanation of the latest instruments for measurements and analysis.
Essential reading for advanced students or those
already well versed in the art and science of noise control, this
distinctive text can be used to solve real world problems
encountered by noise and vibration consultants as well as engineers
and occupational hygienists.

The latest update to
Bela Liptak's acclaimed "bible" of instrument engineering
is now available. Retaining the format that made the previous
editions bestsellers in their own right, the fourth edition of
Process Control and Optimization continues the tradition of
providing quick and easy access to highly practical information. The
authors are practicing engineers, not theoretical people from
academia, and their from-the-trenches advice has been repeatedly
tested in real-life applications. Expanded coverage includes
descriptions of overseas manufacturer's products and concepts,
model-based optimization in control theory, new major inventions and
innovations in control valves, and a full chapter devoted to safety.
With more than 2000 graphs, figures, and tables, this all-inclusive
encyclopedic volume replaces an entire library with one
authoritative reference. The fourth edition brings the content of
the previous editions completely up to date, incorporates the
developments of the last decade, and broadens the horizons of the
work from an American to a global perspective.

This book presents engineers with solutions to the problems found in
control applications in the commercial HVAC buildings industry.
Using their experience to take readers beyond textbook principles,
the authors offer suggestions for troubleshooting not found in any
other book. Divided into two sections, HVAC Controls and Systems
covers all aspects of commercial controls, including pneumatic,
electric, and electronic controls. The first section discusses the
hardware of the controls industry: thermostats and humidistats,
dampers and damper motors, automatic valves, transmitters, auxiliary
devices, construction systems and devices, and electronic products.
The second section covers applications of the hardware for air
handling unit systems, terminal systems and units, primary systems,
heat pump cycles, distribution systems, supervisory systems,
maintenance and operations, and total facility approach. (19930601)
