Part Overview

The contributors of the chapters in this part work in U.S. government defense installations, consulting firms, industry in the United States and Japan, and academia. The calculations they describe come out of real life:

• Locating corrosion under paint layers on a metal surface

• The combustion tube of a prototype pulsed detonation engine

• Coke deposits in fired heaters processing hydrocarbon liquids, vapors, or gases

• Tape drives used as backup storage devices of computer data

• Infrared thermographic (IR) surveys...
