A basic technical book on the design and application of gas cleaning technologies that use liquids, first published in the 1980's and used by plant and environmental engineers, regulatory personnel, and others concerned with air pollution. The second edition enlarges the discussion on the theory of operation, includes new sections on hybrid scrubber systems and irrigated fiberbed filters that use Brownian motion capture techniques, and incorporates the more stringent air pollution regulations.

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING HANDBOOK A comprehensive reference on the discipline and practice of systems engineering Systems engineering practitioners provide a wide range of vital functions, conceiving, developing, and supporting complex engineered systems with many interacting elements. The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Systems Engineering Handbook describes the state-of-the-good-practice of systems engineering. The result is a comprehensive guide to systems engineering activities across any number of possible projects. From automotive to defense to healthcare to infrastructure, systems engineering practitioners are at the heart of any project built on complex systems. INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook readers will find: Elaboration on the key systems life cycle processes described in ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023; Chapters covering key systems engineering concepts, system life cycle processes and methods, tailoring and application considerations, systems engineering in practice, and more; and Appendices, including an N2 diagram of the systems engineering processes and a detailed topical index. The INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook is a vital reference for systems engineering practitioners and engineers in other disciplines looking to perform or understand the discipline of systems engineering.

Offering a model, an implementing strategy, as well as traditional and nontraditional methods for the successful enhancement and maintenance of quality, this work establishes a rationale for the continuation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in all organizations. It considers leading quality-related topics, such as unusual charts, supplier-organization-customer relationships, customer needs and expectations, instructional design, adult learning, advanced quality planning, and reliability.
