"'Energy in Plastics Technology' provides, unlike any other book, the necessary fundamentals for dealing with thermotechnical issues in the processing of plastics, leading to efficient, robust, reliable, economical, and environmentally friendly processes for high-quality products. [...] The focus is on energy consumption in the form of heat and work (economic and ecological aspects) as well as the resulting temperatures (quality aspect). The book is aimed at engineers and students working in plastics technology as well as technicians and plastics technologists." Technical Gazette, 30 6(2024) "Nun gibt es das wertvolle, 2019 erstmals erschienene Werk auch in englischer Sprache. Es ist aber weit mehr als eine Übersetzung. Die beiden Autoren, als Kunststoffspezialist und Thermodynamiker bekannt, haben für diese Neuausgabe den Inhalt gründlich überarbeitet und angereichert und, wo sinnvoll, auch umgestellt. Unverändert ist das überzeugende Konzept des Buches. [...] Das ganze Buch ist durchdrungen von der Leitidee, die Ansprüche an die unverzichtbare Theorie mit den Bedürfnissen der Praktiker zu verbinden. Da dies hervorragend gelungen ist, eignet es sich bestens für Anwender, Lehrende und Lernende, die sich in der Kunststofftechnik mit Energiefragen zu befassen haben oder sich in die wichtige Thematik einarbeiten möchten." Prof. Johannes Kunz, kunststoffXtra.com, 25.03.2024More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
