( A Unique Systems Approach to Energy Engineering, Coveri...)

A Unique Systems Approach to Energy Engineering, Covering Carbon-Based, Nuclear, and Renewable Sources! An essential reference for all engineers and students working with energy systems, Energy Systems Engineering presents a systems approach to future energy needs, covering carbon-based, nuclear, and renewable energy sources. This unique guide explores the latest technology within each energy systems area, the benefits and liabilities of each, the challenges posed by changing energy supplies, the negative impacts from energy consumption, especially CO2 emissions, and the ways in which a portfolio of new technologies can address these problems. Filled with over 200 detailed illustrations and tables, the book examines short-, medium-, and long-term energy options for the remainder of the twenty-first century. For each energy system, the authors provide equations and problems to help practitioners quantify the performance of the technology and better understand its potential. Energy Systems Engineering features: • A valuable systems approach to energy engineering • Coverage of all major energy topics_from climate change to wind power • Both U.S. and global energy perspectives, with international comparisons • Emphasis on CO2 issues and abatement, including carbon sequestration • A wealth of equations and problems for each area of energy technology • Numerous tables and graphs in PowerPoint format for easy presentation An extensive online ancillary package for instructors provides an instructor's manual, solution files, course syllabus, Matlab scripts, and teaching PowerPoint files. Inside This Cutting-Edge Guide to the Technology of Energy Systems: Systems Engineering and Economic Analysis Tools • Climate Change • Fossil Fuels, Relative CO2 Emissions, and Modeling of Consumption and Remaining Reserves • Fossil Fuel Combustion Technologies • Carbon Sequestration • Nuclear Energy • The Solar Energy Resource • Solar Technology • Wind Energy • Energy Technologies for Transportation • Systems Issues for Transportation Energy • Other Emerging Renewable Energy Technologies

( The defining guide to energy systems engineering--update...)

The defining guide to energy systems engineering--updated for the latest technologies "Broad in scope, with focused instructional detail, this text offers a uniquely excellent, student-accessible educational resource for integrating thermodynamic, alternative, and renewable energy conversion processes." -- Professor Randy L. Vander Wal, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Penn State University "A carefully written book, providing good breadth as well as depth on major conventional and sustainable energy systems." -- Professor David Dillard, Department of Engineering Science & Mechanics, Virginia Tech Fully revised throughout, Energy Systems Engineering, Second Edition discusses fossil, nuclear, and renewable energy sources, emphasizing a technology-neutral, portfolio approach to energy systems options. The book covers major energy technologies, describing how they work, how they are quantitatively evaluated, their cost, and their benefit or impact on the natural environment. Evaluating project scope, cost, energy consumption, and technical efficiency is clearly addressed. Example problems help you to quantify the performance of each technology and better assess its potential. Hundreds of illustrations and end-of-chapter exercises aid in your understanding of the concepts presented in this practical guide. Coverage includes: • Systems and economic tools for energy systems • Climate change and climate modeling • Fossil fuel resources • Stationary combustion systems • Carbon sequestration • Nuclear energy systems • Solar resource evaluation • Solar photovoltaic technologies • Active and passive solar thermal systems • Wind energy systems • New chapter on energy from biological sources • Transportation energy technologies • Systems perspective on transportation engineering
