What is causing climate change? What can be done about it? The answers are closely connected to the ways that we obtain and use energy. This is a book about energy in a world increasingly affected by climate change. It takes a practical approach to what can be done about climate change.
Covers two-dimensional analysis, emphasizing the use of finite elements to perform the common calculations required of machine designers and analysts. This book explains what is inside a finite element program, and how the finite element method can be used to determine the behavior of electrical machines.
Shows how to design and fabricate optical microsystems using technologies and original architectures. This work explains a barcode scanner, laser projection mirror and a microspectrometer, starting from the system conception, discussing simulations, choice of cleanroom technologies, design, fabrication, and device test to the system assembly.
Organized around the role of energy technologies in society, this book provides an examination of the technical and economic functioning of fossil fuel, nuclear, renewable and energy efficiency systems.
Suitable for engineers and students working with energy systems, this guide presents a systems approach to energy needs, covering carbon-based, nuclear, and renewable energy sources. With over 200 illustrations and tables, it examines short-, medium-, and long-term energy options for the remainder of the twenty-first century.
Addresses the need for nuclear energy; the issues of competition with other energy sources; and the position of nuclear power in the context of critical global and environmental problems. This volume also addresses the necessity of commercial nuclear power development to deal with nuclear arms proliferation.
