\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhysics of Energy Sources\u003c/i\u003eprovides readers with a balanced presentation of the fundamental physics needed to understand and analyze conventional and renewable energy sources including nuclear, solar, wind and water power. It also presents various ways in which energy can be stored for future use. The book is an informative and authoritative text for students in the physical sciences and engineering and is based on a lecture course given regularly by the author. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the ever increasing demand for sustainable, environmentally-friendly and reliable sources of energy, the need for scientists and engineers equipped to tackle the challenges of developing and improving upon commercially viable energy sources has never been more urgent. By focusing on the physical principles governing energy production, storage, and transmission, this book provides readers with a solid foundation in the science and technology of energy sources.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhysics of Energy Sources\u003c/i\u003e features include:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyses of conventional and renewable energy sources in terms of underlying physical principles\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrated application of a wide range of physics, from classical to quantum physics\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoverage of nuclear, wind, wave, tidal, hydroelectric, geothermal and solar power, including many practical systems\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsideration of efficiency for power production as well as energy storage and transportation\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsideration of key environmental issues \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorked examples in text, and problems \u0026 solutions to encourage understanding\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDerivation of formulae with a minimum of mathematical complexity\u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e |
