Emotion in the Design Process
Manipulating the design process can be a stressful learning experience and it can be difficult to decide how to resolve design problems. This book explores and illustrates the close relationship between emotion and the design process by using new models and perspectives under the umbrella of 'design and emotion'. This book reveals that a greater understanding of design and emotion can inspire design students to explore how emotion can affect their decision-making and design processes. It enables the reader to develop methods to control their emotions to make effective decisions and strengthen their ability to manipulate the design process. Emotion in the Design Process features a study that develops a design process model to make the decision-making processes more transparent. With a focus on the investigation of the 'intrinsic factors', this book features quantitative and qualitative research methods. Underpinned by deep-level research, the book outlines the strengths and limitations of the study and reveals the findings to create decision-making models where emotion is considered. Case studies are included to show the theories in practice. By reading this book, design students, who can be confused by the design process, will be able to grasp it and learn to regulate their emotions as a result whilst also producing better designers that can improve the overall quality and standard of the design industry. As such, this book will appeal most to students, researchers and academics in any field where design is a key task. It will also be of interest to anyone interested in Design and Emotion, Kansei Design and Engineering and Design and Technology.
Hydraulics of Vacuum Sewerage Systems
This book presents design guidelines and hydraulic calculation methods of vacuum sewage systems in nine chapters. After a short history of vacuum sewerage, this book covers the theoretical basis of multiphase flows; a description of flows through collection pits, valves, and service laterals; empirical approaches for the dimensioning of vacuum pipes; and conceptual, mechanistic, and numerical two-phase flow models, including computational fluid dynamics modeling. In addition, methods for calculating forces on vacuum pipelines and principles of the design of vacuum pumping stations are presented.Furthermore, it summarizes design principles and calculation methods of two- and three-phase flows in both outdoor and indoor vacuum sewer systems and shows how the systems can be optimized, in particular by reducing their need for electrical energy. In addition to hydraulic methods, principles of structural design of vacuum lines are shown. Each chapter contains worked examples that illustrate the calculation procedures.This book is intended for designers, constructors, and operators of vacuum sewage systems and for students of fluid mechanics and environmental engineering. The last chapter lists the needs for further research, which may be useful for master's and doctoral students and their supervisors looking for topics for theses.

The 4-D Algorithm for New Product Development promotes inclusivity in design while addressing practical aspects of managing the design process in today's corporate business environment.Those involved with interactive product and technology design, new product development, design researchers and managers, engineers, as well as professionals and graduate students will find this book useful.
Mastering 3D Plant Engineering, Digitalisation & Automation
"In today's world, 3D modeling is rapidly replacing traditional 2D-based design and engineering. Given the vast array of capabilities and technical recalibration of engineering and design approaches that are using the 3D modeling framework, there is a pressing need to cohesively outline this domain knowledge. This book covers all the underlying concepts including the creation and application of 3D models, as well as leveraging on the data-driven intelligence concept including usage of various digitalization tools. Further, the data-driven concept has been explained in this book to highlight how it can be used for work-sharing by concurrently accessing the same model and database across various geographical locations and finally the deployment of overall project lifecycle management."
