Originally published in 1985, this volume examines the determinants of transport energy consumption and discusses policies which could modify rising transport energy consumption while still providing the transport services necessary for economic development.
Heat Transfer: A Systematic Learning Approach presents valuable tools for understanding heat transfer mechanisms and provides a clear understanding of complex turbulent flows.
Conformal Invariance and String Theory is an account of the series of lectures held in Summer School regarding Conformal Invariance and String Theory in September 1987.
Refiners' efforts to conform to increasingly stringent laws and a preference for fuels derived from renewable sources have mandated changes in fluid cracking catalyst technology.
Cold Water Oil: Offshore Petroleum Cultures is a collection of essays examining how societies conceive of fossil fuel extraction in the inhospitable but fragile waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
This comprehensive reference covers important aspects of heat exchangers (HEs): design and modes of operation and practical, large-scale applications in process, power, petroleum, transport, air conditioning, refrigeration, cryogenics, heat recovery, energy, and other industries.
The text covers emerging technologies and innovations in the field, such as hybrid solar thermal systems, advanced materials for collectors, novel heat storage solutions, and advancements in concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies.
This unique single-source reference-the first book of its kind to address systematically the problems involved in the field-offers comprehensive coverage of hydraulic system troubleshooting and encourages change in the trial-and-error methods common in rectifying problems and restoring system downtime, furnishing a new paradigm for troubleshooting
This proceedings volume brings together selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the 2014 International Conference on Frontier of Energy and Environment Engineering.
Introduction to Renewable Power Systems and the Environment with R showcases the fundamentals of electrical power systems while examining their relationships with the environment.
This compendium includes a wide range of topics, from energy science and technology, development and utilization of resources to sustainable ecological development.
Energy, Demand and Planning brings together a group of distinguished authors from many relevant disciplines, under the auspices of the Watt Committee on Energy.
Biofuel production from waste biomass is increasingly being focused on due to due to several advantages of lignocellulosic biomass, such as availability in abundance from several sources, cost-effectiveness, little competition with food sources, etc.
Motion and Relativity focuses on the methodologies, solutions, and approaches involved in the study of motion and relativity, including the general relativity theory, gravitation, and approximation.
Metal-air and metal-sulfur batteries (MABs/MSBs) represent one of the most efficient-energy storage technologies, with high round trip efficiency, a long life cycle, fast response at peak demand/supply of electricity, and decreased weight due to the use of atmospheric oxygen as one of the main reactants.
The aim of process calculations is to evaluate the performance of minerals and coal processing operations in terms of efficiency of the operation, grade of the final products and recovery of the required constituents.
A Method for Studying Model Hamiltonians: A Minimax Principle for Problems in Statistical Physics centers on methods for solving certain problems in statistical physics which contain four-fermion interaction.
As our dependence on and need for abundant energy grows, it becomes increasingly important for engineers and managers to develop and maintain energy efficient systems and build effective energy management programs.
Originally published in 1979, Solar Energy provides a tour of the world of solar energy and asks two key questions: is solar energy the key to the future of our energy needs, and what are the facts and potential of this source of renewable power.
Reduce energy costs and combat climate change with ISO 50001ISO 50001:2018, the international standard for energy management, provides a framework for organisations both large and small to manage and reduce their energy usage and associated costs.
In this fresh and gutsy analysis, Amanda Little lays bare America's energy past, present and future and shows how the innovatory designs that got it to its current energy crisis will actually save it from ruin.
This great body through its great magnetic and gravitational pull holds all the planets and their related planetary bodies in their respective orbits within the boundaries of this solar system and the great volume of energy dispensed by the Sun throughout the solar system maintains the perpetual motion, correct interplanetary distances of the planets and life on Earth.
