Future energy technologies must embrace and achieve sustainability
by displacing fossil carbon-intensive energy consumption or
capture/reuse/sequester fossil carbon. This book provides a deeper
knowledge on individual low (and zero) carbon technologies in a
comprehensive way, covering details of recent developments on these
technologies in different countries. It also covers materials and
processes involved in energy generation, transmission,
distribution, storage, policies, and so forth, including solar
electrical; thermal systems; energy from biomass and biofuels;
energy transmission, distribution, and storage; and buildings using
energy-efficient lighting.
In light of increasing human-induced global climate change, there
is a greater need for clean energy resources and zero carbon
projects. This new volume offers up-to-date coverage of the
fundamentals as well as recent advancements in energy efficient
thermal energy storage materials, their characterization, and
technological applications. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems
offer very high-energy savings for many of our day-to-day
applications and could be a strong component for enhancing the
usage of renewable/clean energy-based devices. Because of its
beneficial environmental impact, this technology has received wide
attention in the recent past, and dedicated research efforts have
led to the development of novel materials, as well to innovative
applications in very many fields, ranging from buildings to
textile, healthcare to agriculture, space to automobiles. This book
offers a valuable and informed systematic treatment of latent
heat-based thermal energy storage systems, covering current energy
research and important developmental work.
Nuclear structure Physics connects to some of our fundamental
questions about the creation of universe and its basic
constituents. At the same time, precise knowledge on the subject
has lead to develop many important tools of human kind such as
proton therapy, radioactive dating etc. This book contains chapters
on some of the crucial and trending research topics in nuclear
structure, including the nuclei lying on the extremes of spin,
isospin and mass. A better theoretical understanding of these
topics is important beyond the confines of the nuclear structure
community. Additionally, the book will showcase the applicability
and success of the different nuclear effective interaction
parameters near the drip line, where hints for level reordering
have already been seen, and where one can test the
isospin-dependence of the interaction. The book offers
comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including: *
Nuclear Structure of Nuclei at or Near Drip-Lines * Synthesis
challenges and properties of Superheavy nuclei * Nuclear Structure
and Nuclear models - Ab-initio calculations, cluster models,
Shell-model/DSM, RMF, Skyrme * Shell Closure, Magicity and other
novel features of nuclei at extremes * Structure of Toroidal,
Bubble Nuclei, halo and other exotic nuclei These topics are not
only very interesting from theoretical nuclear physics perspective
but are also quite complimentary for ongoing nuclear physics
experimental program worldwide. It is hoped that the book chapters
written by experienced and well known researchers/experts will be
helpful for the master students, graduate students and researchers
and serve as a standard & uptodate research reference book on
the topics covered.
There has been ever increasing interest in understanding the
various aspects of available resources and production, in terms of
need and supply, conservation and environmental impacts and so on.
From the current energy scenario, it is very clear that there are
serious challenges related in achieving energy sustainability and
security worldwide. The aim of this book is to present an overview
of progress made towards energy sustainability addressing concerns
regarding carbon emission and clean energy resources. Keeping this
in mind, the book has chapters on all major energy sources which
are being utilized at present, along with those having potential
prospects for future.
