201381285Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2013. Prepublication copy--subject to further editorial correction. Wraps. Good. 8 16 56 54 24 65 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations Tables and Figures. Rear cover creased. The potential for using fusion energy to produce commercial electric power was first explored in the 1950s. Harnessing fusion energy offers the prospect of a nearly carbon-free energy source with a virtually unlimited supply of fuel. Unlike nuclear fission plants appropriately designed fusion power plants would not produce the large amounts of high-level nuclear waste that requires long-term disposal. Due to these prospects many nations have initiated research and development R&D programs aimed at developing fusion as an energy source. Two R&D approaches are being explored: magnetic fusion energy MFE and inertial fusion energy IFE. An Assessment of the Prospects for Inertial Fusion Energy describes and assesses the current status of IFE research in the United States; compares the various technical approaches to IFE; and identifies the scientific and engineering challenges associated with developing inertial confinement fusion ICF in particular as an energy source. It also provides guidance on an R&D roadmap at the conceptual level for a national program focusing on the design and construction of an inertial fusion energy demonstration plant. The committee's final report represents the consensus of the committee after six meetings see Appendix C for the meeting agendas. The first four meetings were concerned mainly with information gathering through presentations while the final two meetings focused on carrying out a detailed analysis of the many important topics needed to complete the committee's assessment. This report describes and assesses the current status of inertial fusion energy research in the United States identifies the scientific and engineering challenges<br/>associated with developing inertial confinement fusion as an energy source compares the various technical approaches and finally provides guidance on an R&D roadmap at the conceptual level for a national program aimed at the design and construction of an inertial fusion energy demonstration plant including approximate estimates where possible of the funding required at each stage. At the outset of the study the committee decided that the fusion-fission hybrid concept was outside the scope of the study. While they are certainly interesting subjects of study comparisons of inertial fusion energy to magnetic fusion energy or any other potential or available energy technologies such as wind or nuclear fission were also outside the committee's purview. Although the committee carried out its work in an unclassified environment it was recognized that some of the research relevant to the prospects for inertial fusion energy was conducted under the auspices of the nation's nuclear weapons program and has been classified. Therefore the NRC established the separate Panel on the Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion ICF Targets to explore the extent to which past and ongoing classified research affects the prospects for practical inertial fusion energy systems. The panel was also tasked with analyzing the nuclear proliferation risks associated with IFE; although that analysis was not available for inclusion in the interim report the committee reviewed the panel's principal conclusions and recommendations on proliferation and these are included in this final report of the committee. The target physics panel exchanged unclassified information informally with the committee in the course of the study process and the committee was aware of the panel's conclusions and recommendations as they evolved. The panel produced both a classified and an unclassified report; the latter was timed so as to be available to inform this committee's final report; the Summary of the panel's unclassified report prepublication version is included as Appendix H.

201367299Washington DC: The National Academices Press 2013. Prepublication Copy--Subject to Further Editiorial Correction. Wraps. Very good. Cover has some wear and soiling. Various paginations approximately 225 pages. Includes illustrations. Bbliography of previous ICF studies consulted. Glossary. Title continues: "Physics and Astronomy. Committee on the Prospects for Inertial Confinement Fusion Energy Systems." From a National Academies internet posting: "The energy produced by nuclear fusion has the potential to provide a low-carbon base-load source of electricity; however significant scientific and engineering efforts are still required before the feasibility of a commercial fusion plant can be established. Initiating fusion based upon magnetic confinement and inertial confinement of the fusion plasma have been studied for decades. In inertial confinement fusion ICF a driver delivers energy to the surface of a pellet of fuel heating and compressing it. There are many approaches for initiation fusion using inertial confinement. For example different driver concepts have very different operating conditions and characteristics. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each approach is central to the effort to develop IFE as a power source. Given the current level of activity in ICF research now is an appropriate time to consider how to proceed regarding inertial fusion as a potential power source. An NRC committee and panel will be formed to provide findings and recommendations to advise DOE on the development of an R&D roadmap for inertial fusion energy. All the approaches to ICF will require much investigation and will need to be considered in any long-term R&D strategy." The National Academices Press paperback
1968005645London: Frank Cass and Co Limited 1968. The partnership of Matthew Bolton 1728-1809 and James Watt 1736-1819 from the mid-1770s onwards for the purpose of developing Watt's improved steam engine has long been recognized as a vital element in the Industrial Revolution in Britain. John Lord's Capital and Steam Power. First edition 1923; second edition 1966 Frank Cass dealt mainly with the firm's part in familiarizing industrialist and businessman with this new form of power. In 1930 Sir Eric Roll's book appeared in which the emphasis was differently placed. There is much more detail about the way in which Bolton and Watt and their sons organized and developed the firm internally secured orders for steam engines and executed these orders. There are also important chapters dealing with the recruitment and training of the firm's workers the early provision of the welfare schemes for them and the great changes after 1795-1796 whereby the firm became one of the largest in Britain. This is a pioneer study in the genesis of modern industrial management. 320 pp including Index A FINE AS NEW copy. This book will be POSTED AT OUR STANDARD RATES FULLY INSURED UK ONLY .

190953577Evansville IN: A.L. Swanson Electrical & Manufacturing Co. ca. 1909-1925. Oblong 4to. 62 original silver gelatin photos nearly all backed in linen some w/ embossed photographer’s stamp in lower right corner or photographer’s logo in negative several marked in pencil or ink on versos occasional fraying and dustsoiling to fore-edges of linen. Recent black post-binder original brass split pin posts at gutter margin gilt lettering stamped on front cover VG exemplar. This factory sales photo album for the Swanson Electrical & Manufacturing Co. offers an important visual record of the growth of a Midwestern American manufacturing firm after World War I through the Jazz Age. Founded originally in 1900 by Albert Swanson 1876-1949 in Evansville IN this firm became one of the largest Midwestern companies engaged in electrical engineering construction repair maintenance and retail sales. These photos show how the company built and sold washing machines electric motors radios lighting systems industrial fans installed lighting displays for department stores repaired electric motors rewound generators and installed massive electric generating steam plants for factories. These include photos of the new mill built after 1909 for Swans Down Flour showing the exterior stack for steam the control panels and more; followed by images of the electrical conduits and sea of electric motors for the spinning mill machinery of the Cannelton Cotton Mill in Indiana for the Rumble & Wensel Company; a Heinz plant near Indianapolis IN; and of special interest are the photos of the generating plant installed for the Mead Johnson Co. infant formula plant built in Evansville IN in the wake of World War I. These photos also show the repair shops the massive electrical machines the winding of coils the oil and grease-soaked workers amidst a sea of electrical machine parts work benches metal lathes and more. In addition there are a number of photos of the interior of the new Monitor Furniture Co. Plant on East Virginia St. in Evansville IN finished at the end of 1920. Swanson began repairing and installing electrical equipment in a small downtown shop before the end of the 19th century and by 1915 was refurbishing and selling giant Westinghouse and General Electric motors and generators. In 1919 the Company was incorporated and began quickly expanding finally changing its name to the Swanson-Nunn Co. which continued to install and sell equipment out of their building on 8th street much of the 20th Century. Mason 1886-1944 was a commercial photographer who specialized in architectural and advertising photography in Evansville IN throughout his career.
