Book Description
Seems like Leo Scott has it all: looks, brains, and athletic talent. He's captain of his high school swim team with a bright future in college and beyond. But Leo has secrets. His mother's crippling car accident has devastated his family and left Leo to deal with his father's abuse, battered and alone. Leo's girlfriend Audrey Rose is poised for her own share of success. As one of Florida's top high school swimmers, Audrey dreams of college swimming stardom. But there's an obstacle to her glorious rise to the top. Her number-one supporter-her father-is in prison for murder. Part murder mystery, part tale of young love in a military family, this gripping story takes readers on a journey from Pensacola to Annapolis. Leo and Audrey must band together to rise above the adversity they encounter and find their true selves in the process. When everything's on the line . . . streamline.

Little Book of Streamlines
Author: Constantine Pozrikidis
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
This annotated compilation depicts streamline patterns for a wide range of fluid flows. The collection facilitates on's own understanding of fluid motion under a variety of conditions, and allows the instructor to explain the physical concepts of fluid mechanics in a visual way. The majority of the patterns were generated using a FORTRAN program that allows the reader to compute what is shown in the pictures. The enclosed CD-ROM contains the source code and accompanying data files. Readers are encouraged experiment with the software by (a) modifying the data files to generate streamlines that originate from desired points, (b) adding additional flow selections to the nested menus, and (c) improving the accuracy of the numerical methods. Key Features * Offers a unique collection of streamlines for every fluid mechanician's bookshelf * Complements traditional undergraduate and graduate textbooks on fluid mechanics * Includes software to provide hands-on experience in translating equations into computer programs and in generating flow patterns

American Streamlined Design
Author: David A. Hanks
Publisher: Flammarion
ISBN:
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
"The twentieth century loved machines and the speed they made possible. Speeding cars, trains, and planes promised to conquer space and time; their aerodynamic styling and metal skins embodied a new and modern beauty, one that especially enchanted American designers from the late 1920s through the 1950s. Streamlining became the popular American style for all sorts of objects: from toy scooters to typewriters, from power tools to teakettles." "This book celebrates this beauty as epitomized by the work of Raymond Loewy, Kem Weber, Henry Dreyfuss, Norman Bel Geddes, as well as in works by many lesser-known industrial designers whose products are presented here for the first time. The book also demonstrates the resurgence of interest in streamlining among international vanguard designers from the 1980s to the present." "This volume is illustrated with patent drawings and period photographs showing how these dynamically styled objects were used. The one hundred eighty objects presented here, drawn from the Eric Brill Collection (recently donated to the American Friends of Canada) and supplemented by pieces from the Stewart Collection at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, were photographed for this book. A full bibliography, biographies of the designers, and index complete the study."--BOOK JACKET.

Streamline Numerical Well Test Interpretation
Author: Yao Jun
Publisher: Gulf Professional Publishing
ISBN: 0123860288
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
The conventional and modern well test interpretation methods are an important tool in the petroleum engineer's toolkit. Used in the exploration and discovery phase of a field, they are performed to determine the quality of a well or to permit estimation of producing rates at different producing pressures. However once a field enters the middle and later development phase, the reservoir flow environment grows increasingly complex and conventional or modern methods do not satisfy the needs of old field development and evaluation. Based on over 10 years of field and research experience, Streamline Numerical Well Test Interpretation Theory and Method provides an effective method for the determination of residual oil distribution for the middle and mature phases of a field. One of the most advanced books available, the author explains the development history of well test theory, analyzes the limitation of modern well test interpretation method, and proposes the concept and framework of numerical well test. This is quickly followed by an introduction of basic principles and solution procedures of streamline numerical simulation theory and method. The book then systematically applies streamline numerical well test interpretation models to a multitude of reservoir types, ranging from single layer reservoir to multi-layer reservoirs. The book presents multi-parameter streamline numerical well test automatic match interpretation method based on double-population genetic algorithm, which lays the foundation to fast automatic match of numerical well test. The book introduces streamline numerical well test interpretation software with independent intellectual property right which is programmed based on the above theoretical studies. - Single and muti-layer sandstone water flooding reservoirs - Multi-layer sandstone chemical flooding model and components - Explains the application of streamline numerical well test and software - Applies programmed software to 177 wells - Quickly calculate the distribution of pressure, saturation and streamline - Covers all kinds of numerical well test interpretation models - Avoid the disadvantages of conventional well test and numerical well test interpretation method - Complete tutorial on streamline numerical well test interpretation software
