Produktbeschreibung
The Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering will be made up of a number of contributed books, each covering a broad subset of information. Planned titles include: Environmentally Conscious Mechanical Design, Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing, Environmentally Conscious Material and Chemical Processing, Environmentally Conscious Alternative Energy Production, Environmentally Conscious Transportation, Environmentally Conscious Materials Handling, and Environmentally Conscious Fossil Energy Production. The target market for the series will be practicing professionals, both engineers and managers, and upper level engineering students.

This fourth volume of the series, Environmentally Conscious Alternative Energy Production, will describe and compare the environmental and economic impacts of renewable and alternative conventional power generation technologies. Major topic areas will include: Economic comparisons of power generation technologies, Efficiency comparisons of power generation technologies, Methods of improving the environmental impact of conventional technologies, Solar thermal systems, Photovoltaics, Fuel cell technologies, Geothermal power generation, Hydroelectric power generation, Wind power generation, Cogeneration, The hydrogen economy, Energy efficient building design, Industrial energy conservation, and Codes, standards and legislation, and others.
Best practices for designing and implementing renewable power generation technologies

The fourth volume of the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering, Environmentally Conscious Alternative Energy Production, shows you how to design and implement power generation technologies that are efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Chapters have been written by experts who, based on their hands-on field experience, offer detailed coverage of the environmental and economic impacts of renewable and conventional power generation tech?nologies. Moreover, you learn how to satisfy business objectives, such as minimizing costs and maximizing design utility, while meeting environmental objectives.

Major topic areas include:
_

Solar Energy Applications
_

Fuel Cells
_

Geothermal Resources and Technology: An Introduction
_

Wind Power Generation
_

Cogeneration
_

Hydrogen Energy
_

Clean Power Generation from Coal
_

Using Waste Heat from Power Plants

Throughout the volume, examples and case studies serve as blueprints, demonstrating how designs are devised and executed. Figures illustrate key design principles, and tables provide at-a-glance summaries of key data. Finally, references at the end of each chapter enable you to investigate individual topics in greater depth.

Turn to all of the books in the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering for the most cutting-edge, environmentally friendly engineering practices and technologies. For further information, go to www.wiley.com/go/ece.
