Kolekcje książek

Biblioteka Wydziału Mechanicznego Energetyki i Lotnictwa wzbogaciła się w część księgozbioru prof. Charlesa Williama Kauffmana z Departamentu Lotniczo-Kosmicznego Uniwersytetu Michigan w Ann Arbor.

Książki otrzymaliśmy dzięki uprzejmości Pani Profesor Carol Kauffman, żony zmarłego profesora oraz staraniom Pana Profesora Piotra Wolańskiego, Pana Profesora Radosława Michałowskiego i Fundacji Dekabana.

Księgozbiór obejmuje wydawnictwa z zakresu lotnictwa i kosmonautyki, napędów lotniczych i rakietowych oraz spalania i wybuchowości.

Profesor Charles William Kauffman na Uniwersytecie Michigan prowadził wykłady z zakresu spalania, wybuchów, projektowania samolotów oraz kierował wieloma programami badawczymi z zakresu spalania. Wiedza i doświadczenie profesora Kauffmana w zakresie projektowania samolotów sprawiły, że był cenionym ekspertem od katastrof lotniczych. Współpracował z Federalną Administracją Lotniczą w temacie zapobiegania wybuchom paliwa w zbiornikach samolotów.

Podczas swojej pierwszej wizyty w Polsce w 1972 roku, profesor Kauffman nawiązał bliższą współpracę z Zakładem Silników Lotniczych Instytutu Techniki Cieplnej Wydziału MEiL Politechniki Warszawskiej. Profesor C.W. Kauffman często przyjeżdżał do Polski na międzynarodowe konferencje z zakresu spalania i wybuchowości, a prof. P. Wolański i prof. R. Klemens wyjeżdżali na staże naukowe na Uniwersytecie Michigan w Anna Arbor. Ta współpraca zaowocowała uzyskaniem licznych grantów z USA koordynowanych przez prof. Wolańskiego. Profesor Wolański z profesorem Kauffmanem współpracował od 1979 roku. Do 1995 roku napisał z prof. Kauffmanem 17 artykułów.

W uroczystości przekazania części księgozbioru prof. Kauffmana wzięli udział m.in.: Prorektor ds. Nauki, prof. dr hab. Rajmund Bacewicz, Dyrektor Biblioteki Głównej PW, mgr Alicja Portacha oraz Dziekan Wydziału MEiL, prof. dr hab. inż. Janusz Frączek oraz grono pracowników Wydziału.
