This month only: Half off four ASME Press titles

For a limited time, ASME is offering a 50-percent discount on four ASME Press publications. If you're interested in buying one or more of them, however, act now. You must place your order by April 30 to receive the discount.

One of the sale titles, "Ceramic Gas Turbine Design and Test Experience," was edited by Mark van Roode, Mattison K. Ferber and David W. Richerson. The book summarizes the history and current status of the development of gas turbine engines and ancillary equipment using ceramic hot section components. Specifically, the book focuses on the evolution of component and engine designs, and the demonstration of design concepts through rig and engine testing of the ceramic gas turbine programs in the United States, Japan, Western Europe, and the countries of the former Soviet Union (primarily Russia).

"Ceramic Gas Turbine Design and Test Experience" is on sale for only $93.50 this month. For more information, and to order, go to http://catalog.asme.org/books/PrintBook/

"Handbook of Surface Treatments and Coatings," by Michel Cartier, is a handy source for practical information on the selection and appropriate use of surface treatments and coatings in mechanical engineering. The handbook is an indispensable guide for practicing engineers and designers tackling the universal problems of friction and wear - from the perspective of both prevention and cure - as well as for the manufacturers and suppliers of coatings and related equipment.

"Heat Exchanger Engineering Techniques," by Michael J. Nee, addresses hundreds of field problems the author has faced over the course of his career. The book describes constructions that have a negative influence on plant operation, maintenance, metallurgy, requirements, cost, handling, shipping, freezing, recirculation, tolerances, manifolding, distribution, noise, availability, and pressure drop, among others. You can purchase the book for only $64 this month by visiting http://catalog.asme.org/books/PrintBook/

A fourth title, "Thermal Management of Microelectronic Equipment," is also on sale this month. The book by Lian-Tuu Yeh and Richard C. Chu, emphasizes the solving of practical design problems in a wide range of subjects related to various heat transfer technologies. It also provides the fundamentals along with a step-by-step analysis approach to engineering, making it an indispensable reference volume. The book will cost $51 through the end of the month.
