With the addition of Optics and Photonics, Knovel now offers content across 25 subjects. Geared towards the modeling and design of optical components and systems, Knovel’s Optics and Photonics subject area provides technological background, guidelines, calculations and best practice information essential for engineers developing new ways to improve products by incorporating optical systems and components in their designs. The technology is particularly useful in discrete manufacturing. Knovel’s Optics and Photonics…

Developed to help process and control engineers increase efficiency through better design and control of industrial scale processes, Knovel’s Process Design, Control and Automation includes best practices for selecting, sizing and integrating instrumentation. Engineers need reliable access to best practices and basic know-how from unbiased sources to corroborate information from control technology manufacturers. This information is particularly useful as engineers seek modeling methods and techniques to evaluate systems with different…

The 2010 University Challenge was the most successful challenge ever! More than 10,000 eligible entries were received from more than 500 universities. Each year Knovel presents 10 questions about real-life engineering scenarios, and students can use Knovel to research and find the answer. Eligible entries were based upon correctly answering a minimum of three questions out of ten. For a complete list of this years winners, click here. This year’s…

Knovel has been named to the 2010-2011 EContent 100 List of companies that matter most in the digital content industry.

On December 8th, Knovel presented “Designing and Verifying Safety Instrumented Systems.” ISA 84 and ISA 61511 are performance-based standards providing an alternative to more rigid rules outlining specific design safety practices.   Because of the freedom allowed by these performance-based approaches, the design engineer becomes directly responsible for doing probabilistic calculations to show that the design provides an adequate level of safety. This webinar featured three authors whose works appear on…
