This book focuses on the main methods of obtaining and maintaining sea control by a stronger side. During times of war, sea control, or the ability of combatants to enjoy naval dominance, plays a crucial role in that side's ability to attain overall victory. The book explains and analyzes in some detail all aspects of sea control and describes and analyzes the main methods of obtaining and maintaining it. Various theoretical aspects of sea control also include the views of naval classical thinkers. This book also utilizes historical examples to illustrate the main methods of sea control. Each chapter focuses on a particular method, including destroying the enemy forces by a decisive action, destroying enemy forces over time, containing the enemy fleet, choke point control, and capturing important enemy positions/basing areas. The aim is to provide a comprehensive theory and practice of the struggle for sea control at the strategic and operational levels of wars.

This work covers naval strategy and operations in narrow seas, contending that blue-water navies must revise the view that a fleet capable of defeating an adversary on the open ocean will automatically do the same in narrow seas.

Water (R718) Turbo Compressor and Ejector Refrigeration/Heat Pump Technology provides the latest information on efficiency improvements, a main topic in recent investigations of thermal energy machines, plants, and systems that include turbo compressors, ejectors, and refrigeration/heat pump systems. This, when coupled with environmental concerns, has led to the application of eco-friendly refrigerants and to a renewed interest in natural refrigerants. Within this context, readers will find valuable information that explores refrigeration and heat pump systems using natural refrigerants, polygeneration systems, the energy efficiency of thermal systems, the utilization of low temperature waste heat, and cleaner production. The book also examines the technical, economic, and environmental reasons of R718 refrigeration/heat pump systems and how they are competitive with traditional systems, serving as a valuable reference for engineers who work in the design and construction of thermal plants and systems, and those who wish to specialize in the use of R718 as a refrigerant in these systems.
