Sustainable energy: choosing among options
By: Tester, Jefferson W.
Publisher: New Delhi PHI Learning 2013Edition: 2nd.Description: xxx,1019 p. | Binding - Paperback |.ISBN: 978-81-203-4810-3.Subject(s): Mechanical Engineering
DDC classification: 621.044 Summary: This widely used textbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as others who have an interest in exploring energy resource options and technologies with a view toward achieving sustainability on local, national, and global scales. It clearly presents the tradeoffs and uncertainties inherent in evaluating and choosing sound energy portfolios and provides a framework for assessing policy solutions. The second edition examines the broader aspects of energy use, including resource estimation, environmental effects, and economic evaluations; reviews the main energy sources of today and tomorrow, from fossil fuels and nuclear power to biomass, hydropower, and solar energy; treats energy carriers and energy storage transmission, and distribution; addresses end-use patterns in the transportation, industrial, and building sectors, and considers synergistic complex systems. This new edition also offers updated statistical data and references; a new chapter on the complex interactions among energy, water, and land use; expanded coverage of renewable energy; and new color illustrations. Sustainable Energy addresses the challenges of making responsible energy choices for a more sustainable future.
