This book describes the state of the art at the interface between
energy and environmental research. The contributing authors are
some of the world leaders in research and education on energy and
environmental topics. The coverage is worth noting for its breadth
and depth. The book begins with the latest trends in applied
thermodynamics: the methods of exergy analysis, entropy generation
minimization and thermoeconomics. It continues with the most modem
developments in energy processing and conservation techniques: heat
transfer augmentation devices, inverse thermal design, combustion
and heat exchangers for environmental systems. The environmental
impact of energy systems is documented in a diversity of
applications such as the flow of hazardous waste through cracks and
porous media, thermally induced flows through coastal waters near
power plants, and lake ecology in the vicinity of pumped storage
systems. The book outlines new research directions such as the
manufacturing of novel materials from solid waste, advances in
radiative transport, the measurement of convective heat transfer in
gas turbines and environmentally acceptable refrigerants.
The book is rich in engineering design data that make a concrete
statement on topics of world wide interest, e.g., toxic emissions,
the depletion of energy resources, global environmental change
(global warming), and future trends in the power generation
industries. Written by leaders in research and education, this book
is an excellent text or supplement for undergraduate and graduate
courses on energy engineering and environmental science.
