Especially with advents in space technology, space debris removal has become more important then ever. There can be several methods of removal of space debris. One of the viable options available is taking proper precautions in satellites and objects being sent up in to space, such that they can use their own systems in order to return back to Earth upon completion of their missions or burn up in the Earth's atmosphere and hence not pose a threat to future space missions. The main problem in the mission to rid the planet's boundary of unwanted debris particles lies in the removal of those particles and objects which do not have the capability of using their own systems to return to Earth or get burnt up in the Earth's atmosphere in a short duration of time. Old rocket shells, satellite components and fragments, make up only a small part of nearly 16,000 space debris particles larger than 10 centimeters being constantly monitored by NASA. This book discusses ways of removing those space debris components, which have completed their respective missions. This work by Lakshya Datta, edited by Dr. Ugur GUVEN is a perfect book as a beginners guide to the Fundamentals of Space Debris.

This is Describes about the Operational Aspects of Combined Cycle Power Plant, Main concentration is on Performance Analysis and Thermodynamic aspects of all the sub systems. The effective heat utilization and accounting of Exergy in the work consumable devices and work extractable. The improvement aspects of various power plants based on combined cycle has been discussed. This book contains the information regarding the working, improving the efficiency of a combined cycle power plant through exergy analysis. In the combined cycle power plants, natural gas is used as major fuel. These plants can achieve higher efficiency in converting fuel to electricity which makes it possible for relatively high priced fuel like natural gas to be competitive for intermediate or base loads

In the advancing world of today, the demand for the clean and reliable electricity is constantly increasing.The technological developments in operating nuclear power plants with higher efficiency and more safety will be possible with gas cooled reactors. Handling gas cooled reactors under critical conditions is more effective than conventional nuclear reactors. The capacity addition is only possible with advanced nuclear reactors.This book will demonstrate various aspects of Nuclear power plant design with gas cooled reactors

The two of the largest developments in the 20th century have been the invention of spacecraft, and the invention of nuclear power as a source of long lasting energy. Now, both technological fields have grown immensely to structure the technology of our world. These two fields are intertwined, as the future of space exploration depends on the availability of nuclear power. One of the most important requirements of a space flight mission is to be able to fly to furthest reaches of the universe. In fact, flying anywhere in our Solar System besides the moon will pose a considerable challenge as the distances that need to be travelled are great. The various means of chemical propulsion in spacecraft do not have the necessary high specific impulse and velocity to reach these long distances. But, with the availability of nuclear power, spacecrafts will have the thrust and the necessary power for exploration of interstellar distances. Nuclear propulsion poses the way for exploring our solar system and it provides the means for interstellar exploration. You can find contemporary techniques of nuclear space propulsion in this book and advanced futuristic nuclear space propulsion methods.
