future priorities for more sustainable development and energy
security. It covers a broad range of topics on atmospheric changes,
climate change impacts, climate change modeling and simulations,
energy and environment policies, energy resources and conversion
technologies, renewables, emission reduction and abatement, waste
management, ecosystems and biodiversity, and sustainable
development. Gathering selected papers from the 7th Global
Conference on Global Warming (GCGW2018), held in Izmir, Turkey on
June 24-28, 2018, it: Offers comprehensive coverage of the
development of systems taking into account climate change,
renewables, waste management, chemical aspects, energy and
environmental issues, along with recent developments and
cutting-edge information Highlights recent advances in the area of
energy and environment, and the debate on and shaping of future
directions and priorities for a better environment, sustainable
development and energy security Provides a number of practical
applications and case studies Is written in an easy-to-follow
style, moving from the basics to advanced systems. Given its scope,
the book offers a valuable resource for readers in academia and
industry alike, and can be used at the graduate level or as a
reference text for professors, researchers and engineers.
This expansive reference on the use of clean energy technologies in
the aviation industry focuses on tools and solutions for maximizing

This book examines recent progress and new technological
developments in sustainable aviation. It covers alternative fuel
types, propulsion technologies, and aerial vehicle (unmanned aerial
vehicles, drones, passenger air) emission reduction technologies.
The effects of these technologies on vehicle performance, cost, and
environmental impact are discussed, and case studies, practical
applications, and engineering solutions and methodologies are
provided. This collection will be an invaluable reference for
researchers, practicing engineers, and students.
Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization of Geothermal Power Plants
guides researchers and engineers on the analysis and optimization
of geothermal power plants through conventional and innovative
methods. Coverage encompasses the fundamentals, thermodynamic
analysis, and optimization of geothermal power plants. Advanced
thermodynamic analysis tools such as exergy analysis,
thermoeconomic analysis, and several thermodynamic optimization
methods are covered in depth for different configurations of
geothermal power plants through case studies. Interdisciplinary
research with relevant economic and environmental dimensions are
addressed in many of the studies. Multiobjective optimization
studies aimed at better efficiency, lower cost, and a lower
environmental impact are also discussed in this book.
