Energy Conversion Engineering: Towards Low CO2 Power and Fuels de Ahmed F. Ghoniem

Energy Conversion Engineering: Towards Low CO2 Power and Fuels

Autor Ahmed F. Ghoniem
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 noi 2021
This unique textbook equips students with the theoretical and practical tools needed to model, design, and build efficient and clean low-carbon energy systems. Students are introduced to thermodynamics principles including chemical and electrochemical thermodynamics, moving onto applications in real-world energy systems, demonstrating the connection between fundamental concepts and theoretical analysis, modelling, application, and design. Topics gradually increase in complexity, nurturing student confidence as they build towards the use of advanced concepts and models for low to zero carbon energy conversion systems. The textbook covers conventional and emerging renewable energy conversion systems, including efficient fuel cells, carbon capture cycles, biomass utilisation, geothermal and solar thermal systems, hydrogen and low-carbon fuels. Featuring numerous worked examples, over 100 multi-component homework problems, and online instructor resources including lecture slides, solutions, and sample term projects, this textbook is the perfect teaching resource for an advanced undergraduate and graduate-level course in energy conversion engineering.

Recenzii

'An outstanding textbook and reference, spanning fundamentals to real-world devices. This book will guide the next generation of engineers who are realizing the low-carbon energy transition.' Timothy Lieuwen, Georgia Institute of Technology
'A comprehensive toolkit for understanding, evaluating, and comparing conventional and evolving new energy systems in terms of their engineering performance and environmental impacts and benefits. It is a must-read for students and researchers interested in designing and modeling energy technologies to meet today's low-carbon-emitting and other sustainability objectives.' Jefferson Tester, Cornell University
'Professor Ghoniem draws from decades of research expertise and teaching experience at MIT in the field of energy conversion. This timely textbook covers both the fundamentals of thermodynamics and real-world applications of cutting-edge clean energy systems to equip the next generation of students to design, analyze, and optimize low-carbon and zero-carbon energy systems for a sustainable future.' Katherine Hornbostel, University of Pittsburgh
'This book provides a holistic view of energy conversion systems by discussing conventional concepts as well as emerging technologies, all of which are connected by fundamental energy conversion principles. I truly believe that readers can envision a bright pathway toward sustainable power generation with low environmental impact.' Jongsup Hong, Yonsei University
'An excellent, up-to-date, and comprehensive textbook and reference in energy conversion. It provides a practical and fresh perspective on the subject, which is nicely complemented with chapters addressing clean energy conversion and strategies to control CO2 emissions. This book is a must-have reference for anyone interested in the subject of energy conversion.' Tarek Echekki, North Carolina State University
'This book is systematically developed, very well organized, and well written. The coverage in all 14 chapters is comprehensive, with example problems and additional problems at the end of each chapter. It is a timely book as we seek innovative solutions for clean energy production at higher efficiency, with due considerations given to environmental pollution, including CO2. I enthusiastically endorse this book.' Ashwani K. Gupta, University of Maryland
