Heat Recovery Steam Generators: Thermal Design & Testing by D. James Benton (4 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) are an integral part of any modern combined cycle power plant. These heat exchangers are designed to recover the heat from a gas turbine exhaust and convert this to steam, which drives a turbine and ultimately a second generator. Because the gas turbine operates efficiently at high temperatures and heat is removed down to nearly ambient temperature, the overall efficiency of this complex design exceeds that of conventional Rankine cycle coal-, oil-, or gas-fired systems. These systems can also be operated in simple or combined cycle, increasing flexibility and response to load dispatch. HRSG can be complex to analyze and also difficult to effectively test and prove their performance. This text covers both theory and testing in practice with examples.

Military UFO Encounters: True Cases of Military Alien Encounters (Paranormal and Unexplained Mysteries Book 14) by Conrad Bauer (Maplewood Publishing) (92 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

True and documented military UFO encounter cases that will surprise and make you question what we really know about alien visits to Earth. Download FREE with Kindle Unlimited For as long as the UFO phenomenon has been a thing, the United States military has consistently denied any knowledge -- or even interest -- about the subject. But many suspect that Uncle Sam knows a lot more than he's letting on, and this book explores all the possibilities -- from the Roswell crash and Area 51, through foo fighters and rumors of possible reverse-engineered aircraft, all the way to the 2017 disclosure that the Pentagon is still investigating UFOs. Broaching the subject of UFOs typically sparks either great interest or great ridicule, depending on whom you're talking to. But whatever our individual knee-jerk reaction to the tales may be, one thing that we can all agree on is that there never has been any satisfactory explanation for them. The 2020s seem poised to hold just as much mystery in regard to the subject as the 1950s did. And while there have been plenty of civilian UFO encounters, it is the men and women of our military who most often find themselves on the front line of this great mystery. Most of those who don the uniform are no better prepared for these encounters than anyone else, and they face the additional difficulty of having to report to their superiors in the aftermath of such odd incidents. In documenting these accounts, this book is not seeking to convince anyone of anything. All of these alleged events are left open to the reader's own interpretation. But while you make up your own mind on the subject, here we present to you the fantastic and bizarre claims -- as well as the sometimes equally shocking known truths -- that comprise the strange anecdotes of military encounters with UFOs.

Majestic 12, Discerning Facts from Fiction : MJ-12, the Paranormal Powerbrokers of the Unknown (Paranormal and Unexplained Mysteries Book 21) by Conrad Bauer (Maplewood Publishing) (78 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Do you know "Majestic 12"? A secret group nestled deep within the United States government that has acquired massive influence through their ownership of what has been claimed to be the biggest secret in human history! Download FREE with Kindle Unlimited! For years there have been rumors of a top-secret group of paranormal power brokers behind the scenes of the UFO phenomenon. This shadowy group is in deep not only with UFOs -- but more specifically their occupants. Documents were dumped on a couple of UFO researchers in the 1980s that told a startling story: aliens were not only real but that a secret governmental cabal had been convened to work as their intermediaries. Ever since these thought-provoking allegations have been made, the UFO community has been split right down the middle as to what should be believed. Some view the story of the Majestic 12 as a hoax, while others have become true believers. There is also a smaller but vocal minority out there who believes that the Majestic 12 mystery is somehow a combination of both. They contend that perhaps for unknown reasons, a bit of myth and reality have been mixed together. This is done maybe as a kind of trial balloon, to float some real details of the UFO phenomenon, while also mixing it with just enough bogus material to throw UFO investigators off track. This book does not make any definitive conclusion on which of these three options are most valid. But we do explore them all.

COSMOLOGY - Volume 4: The Ultimate Guide to Stargazing by Gregg D Thompson (Dreamtech Designs & Productions Pty Ltd) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

The Ultimate Guide to STARGAZING: Volume 4 : COSMOLOGY is a truly mind-expanding journey that explains how the universe came into being, how and why it is expanding as it evolves, and how it is likely to die. You'll see how its accelerating expansion will cause the universe to change dramatically in the future. You'll discover its amazing, unexpected structure, and why we can see back to the beginning of time! COSMOLOGY explains in layman's terms why we can only see a part of the universe - our 'observable' universe. What might lie beyond this? You will understand why enormous clusters of galaxies are growing ever larger and why we exist at a special time in the universe's evolution. It analyses the possibility of whether there are other universes or parallel ones. You will be mind-blown by how our universe is 'programmed' to be incredibly finely-tuned, exceedingly beyond chance to create unbounded complexity. How could this be? Could a god have designed this? You'll discover the brain-teasing answers to the very strange implications of the speed of light - the photon paradox - how gravity curves space - and why, at the speed of light, time stops, and mass becomes infinite! This volume discusses how many dimensions the universe may have, and what its geometry may be. Could there be a multiverse of infinite universes? Could space go on forever? Why do astronomers think there is this strange, dark energy and invisible dark matter? You'll discover what the two opposing universal properties are that cause the universe to evolve life, and possibly unbounded levels of intelligence far beyond ours.

UFOs: The Most Compelling Evidence For The Existence Of UFOs by Tom King (92 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Unidentified Flying Objects, like religion, have found a way to divide humanity. One-third into believers, one other into sceptics and the third not really knowing where they live. The search for answers, like religion, also has been constant dead ends. Now we cannot deny the fact that once in awhile strange things happen in our skies. However, people seem to make the assumption that unidentified flying object is directly correlated to alien life. Fact? No. A UFO simply refers to anything in flight that cannot be identified or explained through conventional reasoning. This being said. However, it would not be irrational to relate the two, but the initial is not always as a result of the former. In this book, we shall cover about twenty chapters of the most infamous UFO sightings, encounters and even abductions of all time. Some of the accounts live behind an eerie chilly feeling as one goes through them with the thought that we might not be the only one but some, as is very common are merely publicity stunts or are as a result of sycophancy. It is worth noting also that one can really not pinpoint the first ever UFO sighting. Human beings have had a knack for being curious for quite a while now. From as far back as before Christ, people reported to seeing a strange object in the sky. However, life back then was much more simple, and people always assumed that all of these strange objects was as a result of religious interventions. We certainly hope that this book will go a mighty long way into breaking down the world's most infamous UFO sightings and accounts of Interstellar coming together. There are too many UFO sightings to fit in one e-book. We also do hope that this book is as factual as it could be. However, this is not to say that every account in here is true. Most UFO sightings are marred with inconsistent tales, and we have tried to sum up, through research what we believe were the actual events. Also, we hope that you would be able to ...

The Future of Being Human and Other Essays by Sylvia Engdahl (3 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

What will humans be like in the future? According to science fiction author Sylvia Engdahl, they will be no different from what they're like now. There will be many innovations in technology and ways of daily life, but people are people, wherever and whenever they happen to live, and that's not going to change. In this book Engdahl departs from the theme of space colonization on which her past essays (available in her book From This Green Earth) have focused, and discusses such topics as artificial intelligence, "paranormal" psi powers, healthcare policy, and the coming loss of personal privacy. Her controversial views on these subjects will inspire thought about what the future is likely to bring.

Cow Dung - A Down-To-Earth Solution To Global Warming And Climate Change by Dr. Sahadeva dasa (Soul Science University Press) (42 Reviews)    Price verified 6 minutes ago

Environmental crisis is for real and it's coming around faster than you think. It's not a brainchild of some conspiracy theorist but a tangible, perceivable fact, proven by the catastrophic events all over the world. But for most of us, caught up in the daily grind, it's hardly a subject worth pondering over. Common man in the streets of London, New York or Delhi has very little time to worry about some ozone layer up there or some damn iceberg in the North Pole. At best, it is a snow bear's problem. But the scientific fraternity and many political leaders don't think so. They are waking up to the horrors of global warming and climatic change. Hectic efforts are on to contain the damage but with very little success. This book provides a simple solution to this grave crisis which has the potential to wipe out life altogether. This is a calamity of unprecedented proportions coming our way and a point of no return for the industrial civilization. One of the arguments sceptics throw back at you is that the climate has always changed, and that is absolutely right. It's the rate of change that is the problem right now. It's changing so quickly that it exceeds our adaptive capacity. We are in a hole and it's time to stop digging.
