Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This comprehensive guide to energy systems engineering has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest technologies. It serves as an exceptional educational resource, integrating thermodynamics with alternative and renewable energy conversion processes. The text provides a balanced examination of fossil, nuclear, and renewable energy sources through a technology-neutral, portfolio approach. It covers major energy technologies, detailing their operations, quantitative evaluations, costs, and environmental impacts. The book clearly addresses project scope, cost, energy consumption, and technical efficiency. Example problems help quantify the performance of each technology, enhancing assessment capabilities. With hundreds of illustrations and end-of-chapter exercises, it facilitates a deeper understanding of the concepts. Key topics include systems and economic tools for energy systems, climate change modeling, fossil fuel resources, stationary combustion systems, carbon sequestration, nuclear energy systems, solar resource evaluation, photovoltaic technologies, active and passive solar thermal systems, wind energy systems, and a new chapter on energy from biological sources. Additionally, it explores transportation energy technologies and offers a systems perspective on transportation engineering.
