Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

The large-scale production of chemicals to meet various societal needs has created environmental pollution including pollution from byproducts and improper disposal of waste. With the world facing adverse consequences due to this pollution green chemistry is increasingly being viewed as a means to address this concern. Since most organic syntheses require toxic solvents more reaction time and drastic conditions of temperature conventional methods of organic synthesis are less preferred. Microwave-assisted organic synthesis is considered to be a promising green chemical approach because it reduces reaction time from days or hours to minutes or even seconds and has many other advantages. It helps reduce side reactions and increase yields uses fewer solvents or is almost solvent-free has solid supported reactions and improves purity. This book’s main focus is microwave-assisted organic synthesis processes particularly various reactions such as cycloaddition rearrangement elimination substitution oxidation reduction condensation coupling polymerization nanomaterials synthesis of heterocycles and industrial applications under microwave irradiation. The time is not far off when this methodology will virtually replace existing and cumbersome methods of organic synthesis. | Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

Wireless networking covers a variety of topics involving many challenges. The main concern of clustering approaches for mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to prolong the battery life of the individual sensors and the network lifetime. For a successful clustering approach the need of a powerful mechanism to safely elect a cluster head remains a challenging task in many research works that take into account the mobility of the network. In Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks: A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety the authors use an approach based on computing of the weight of each node in the network as the proposed technique to deal with this problem. They present a virtual laboratory platform (VLP) of baptized mercury allowing students and researchers to make practical work (PW) on different aspects of mobile wireless sensor networks. The authors’ choice of WSNs is motivated mainly by the use of real experiments needed in most college courses on WSNs. These usual experiments however require an expensive investment and many nodes in the classroom. The platform presented here aims at showing the feasibility the flexibility and the reduced cost using the authors’ approach. The authors demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms that contribute to the familiarization of the learners in the field of WSNs. The book will be a valuable resource for students in networking studies as well as for faculty and researchers in this area. | Mobile Wireless and Sensor Networks A Clustering Algorithm for Energy Efficiency and Safety

Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

This new volume Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines: A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals focuses on design and installation of laboratory gas pipelines. It instructs design engineers laboratory managers and installation technicians on how to source the information and specifications they require for the design and installation of laboratory gas systems suitable for their intended use. The current use of specifications predominantly taken from medical gas standards for this type of work is not always suitable; these standards are for use with medical grade gases that have a purity level of 99. 5%. The purity levels required in laboratories however start at 99. 9% for general industrial use through to 99. 9995% (Ultra High Purity (UHP)) and higher. Regular medical gas standards are also unsuitable for use with the oxidizing flammable and in some instances toxic gases that are regularly encountered in laboratories. As need for gas purity increases the methodology used to design a piping system must vary to meet those parameters and this reference provides the necessary information and resources. There are no comprehensive single sources of technical references currently available in this market states the author and the generally supplied specifications provided to the construction industry are usually generic and not specifically targeted for the gases in use. The results provide extremely poor quality designs and in some instances unusable systems. With over 40 years of specialization in the industry from project management to systems design testing and commissioning of projects with values in excess of $15 million the author comprehensively fills that gap with this rich resource. Key features• provides information on types of laboratories that use laboratory gases and the equipment needed• explains the various methods of construction and the materials used to ensure that the purity of the gases remains as supplied from the manufacturers• incorporates the design methodology used to meet the various requirements of the laboratory and the information required to ensure that the correct engineering is provided• presents information on the purity levels of the gases and the data on the equipment used for pipelines and compatibility issues• presents an example of a simple laboratory gas specification that provides guidelines on the information necessary to provide a set of design documents | Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals
