Chemistry Projects with a Laboratory You Can Build (Build-a-Lab! Science Experiments)

Book Description

Turn to this multipurpose reference for a practical understanding of electronics in the factory or laboratory. It's perfect for people who are not electrical engineers but who need to use electronic equipment every day at work. Avoid or solve common problems in the use of electronics in the factory or lab and optimize the use of measurement and control equipment with this helpful resource!

The guide is easy to understand by anyone who has taken a high school physics course--yet it provides quick, specific solutions for such electronics issues as feedback oscillation, ground loops, impedance mismatch, noise pickup, and optimization of PID controllers.

Use INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS as a hands-on resource to handle typical electronics questions as they arise, as a self-study text to provide a broad background for understanding general electronics issues and design, or even for an instructor-led, on-the-job training course in shop or lab electronics. Because of the highly detailed explanations in the book, instructors themselves do not need to be experts. Of course, the volume is perfect for use as a textbook in college and vocational school courses.

The laboratory experiments are optional and may be used merely as examples. Components are inexpensive and can be obtained from consumer electronics stores such as Radio Shack or from electronics suppliers on the Web. The circuit diagrams are greatly simplified and completely understandable, with every component explained.

Key Features:

- Explains how capacitors, inductors, relays, self-starting ac motors, transistors, and integrated circuits actually work

- Shows how to prevent or fix ground loops, feedback oscillations, noise pickup, and impedance mismatch

- Teaches readers how to design simple, special-purpose circuits such as amplifiers, latching registers, oscillators, and SCR controllers

- Provides an understanding of more complex devices including laser printers, copying machines, and analog and digital systems

Industrious little book!.......2002-09-18

This book is both lab manual and textbook, so if you do not have the exact measuring instruments the labs call for, you can skip lots of sections where the author really gets into setting the tests up. The primary value of this book for me were the clear explanations that came with the labs on how electronic components worked; but more importantly, how they related to one another and what they mean in a circuit. This book provides some valuable intuitive insights necessary to understand electronics, and I haven't seen this level and concentration of lucid discourse in any other electronics textbooks so far. This is a must-get book for anyone unfamiliar with electronics!

Who Said Electronics Isnt Any Fun ? Five Stars.......2001-04-17

I had Dr. Shanefield as a professor at Rutgers for many courses especially in the area of electronic ceramics and I enjoyed his classes.

This book is a great book because:

- It makes a typically complicated subject manner like electronics and circuits understandable and enjoyable.

- It is simple, easy to follow and very well organized.

- College courses focus in on the theory where this book provides the theory and most important the applications to practice and further understand.

I think this is a great book to have at your personal disposal. I would also like to state that my food scientist wife who hated electronics because she didn't understand it, now enjoys this subject matter and has a great deal of fun performing and understanding the labs. I too enjoy performing the labs as well.

Kudos Dr. Shanefield !

Great lab concept- but our lab instructor cut corners.......2003-05-23

The author, Dr. Cooper, works in the Chemistry department at my university, so it comes as little surprise that it is used for general chemistry labs there. The labs are much better than ones in high school chemistry. In high school chemistry labs, we were given a value that we had to achieve. If we did not, we lost points depending on how far off we were. This is a problem since error is inevitable in a lab setting, even under the most controlled conditions. The labs in this lab manual focus on how you carry out the experiment. You are not given target results. Instead, you derive a method of solving the given problem (separating a mixture, synthesizing a compound, etc). This method is more similar to what scientists do, and it makes the lab experience more rewarding.
