La Termotecnia es una ciencia aplicada fundamentada en la Termodinámica, que estudia la producción y transformación de las distintas formas de energía con fines útiles. A esta disciplina, una de las principales materias complementarias de la Ingeniería Química, se dedica esta obra, en la que se abordan las Bases de Termodinámica Aplicada, materia necesaria para estudiar la segunda, dedicada a procesos termodinámicos y máquinas térmicas de interés en Ingeniería Química. Esta primera parte se ha estructurado en ocho capítulos: Generalidades; Energía e Industria; Termodinámica...

Biographies and bibliographies of members are included in many of the volumes. Lists of members are usually given on covers of the numbers.

This book provides a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to one of the most exciting frontiers in astrophysics today: the quest to understand how the oldest and most distant galaxies in our universe first formed. Until now, most research on this question has been theoretical, but the next few years will bring about a new generation of large telescopes that promise to supply a flood of data about the infant universe during its first billion years after the big bang. This book bridges the gap between theory and observation. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers on...

Galaxies have a history. This has become clear from recent sky surveys which have shown that distant galaxies, formed early in the life of the Universe, differ from the nearby ones. New observational windows at ultraviolet, infrared and millimetric wavelengths (provided by ROSAT, IRAM, IUE, IRAS, ISO) have revealed that galaxies contain a wealth of components: very hot gas, atomic hydrogen, molecules, dust, dark matter ... A significant advance is expected due to new instruments (VLT, FIRST, XMM) which will allow one to explore the most distant Universe. Three Euroconferences have been...
