As mankind searches for energy alternatives with minimal
environmental consequences and acceptable cost, it is necessary to
identify valid areas of endeavor that can activate favorable energy
sources and technological developments. Toward that end, The
Dynamics of Energy: Supply, Conversion, and Utilization develops
competence in energy matters on three levels: basic concepts,
essential computations, and dynamic modeling. The book reviews the
laws of thermodynamics and rate relationships between flows and
gradients as a foundation for subsequent topics. Using dynamic
analysis, it examines the potential of current energy sources to
serve the needs of a growing world economy. The text also describes
key fossil conversion, renewable conversion, and utilization
technologies. It presents a technique to assess efficiencies from
ground (or harvest) to end use, explores the effects of energy use
on the environment, and offers an introduction to dynamic modeling.
The book concludes with a description of energy technologies that,
if suitably employed, could configure a sustainable energy future.
Studying the dynamics of thermal systems is conducive to
ascertaining what technologies could indeed make a difference for a
desirable energy future. Suitable response time to demand and
acceptable fuel lifetimes are necessary conditions for energy
systems to compete in the marketplace. The planning effort that
should lead the energy endeavor requires projection of the time
span of pollution effects. Harnessing the flexibility and speed of
VisSim (TM) for dynamic modeling, this book provides the tools to
model most thermal systems with moderate complexity. It also
evaluates energy supplies, conversion, and end use.
