This book is a result of one of the first major activities of the Society, and it was written within the project ?Education of the Population of the Republic of Serbia on Possibilities to Improve Environmental Protection by Applying New Technologies?, supported by the Fund for Environmental Protection of the Republic of Serbia. It is intended for professionals of different engineering profiles who follow and monitor the development in this field, as well as for those who wish and need to learn today?s possibilities of environmental protection as the most important existential problem.

The work of an engineer in the field of process engineering includes design and construction of plants, construction and installation of equipment, and production management in the plants in which raw materials go through different physical and chemical processes for the purpose of obtaining finished products. In order to carry out these activities, an engineer needs to have adequate knowledge and it is vital for him to understand the nature and properties of substances and materials he works with.

• process fluids
• properties

In addition to technical knowledge in the field of design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance of plants and equipment, today the complete work of an engineer also implies the knowledge of the fundamentals for economic analysis implementation. Taking this into consideration, this book explains the basic notions and basic techniques for economic analysis implementation, without an intention to present to engineers, for whom the book is intended in the first place, complex tasks from the field of economics and science.

The goal of professionals in the field of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) is to create a comfortable and healthy environment, especially in buildings. In many cases, architectural and building materials and activities, as well as cleaning and maintenance that affect the environment, are beyond control of HVAC&R designers. In addition to other reasons for such situation, there is superficial knowledge of elementary facts on the indoor environment characteristics.

A handbook for designers and contractors. In addition to theoretical considerations, the book deals with a series of calculations, recommendations, and useful diagrams and nomograms. In this attractive handbook a reader can find a large number of necessary data proven in practice, with detailed information on the characteristics of selected and reliable technical solutions.

• Heating and cooling systems
• Building automation, controls and technical building management systems

• heat exchange stations
• boiler rooms
• heating network

Valves are devices that can change the flow of a fluid in a pipeline and, when needed, the flow can be completely stopped by closing a valve.

• Heating and cooling systems
• Building automation, controls and technical building management systems

• district heating systems
• regulation valves

The book applies the principle of individual and integral analysis of factors influencing the heat exchange process: apparatus geometry and flowrate configuration, effective temperature differences and heat transfer coefficient. By connecting the influential factors we can obtain equations that connect thermal and geometrical values of the apparatus.

• Heating and cooling systems

• drum heat exchangers

The object of research of this monograph is stress field and deformation field in the penetration of cylindrical surfaces of support structures, as the most common form of discontinuity of cylindrical surface geometry, under the effect of the thermomechanical load. By analysing a physical model on a large number of actual constructions, it was concluded that the line of penetration of cylindrical surfaces lies in the plane or in the space.
