Energy Conversion

Goswami D.Y. (ed.), Kreith F. (ed.)

While researchers are working overtime to produce new technologies and methods of providing energy, it is critical that modern industry makes the most efficient use of the energy sources that are currently available. Comprising chapters from the much-anticipated Handbook of Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy, Energy Conversion offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in energy conversion technologies. It addresses energy sources such as steam power plants, gas turbines, internal combustion engines, hydraulic turbines, Stirling engines, advanced fossil fuels, energy storage, nuclear power, and others as well as recent advances that maximize the energy available from each source.
