Description
Book SynopsisEnergy and Fuel Systems Integration explains how growing energy and fuel demands, paired with the need for environmental preservation, require different sources of energy and fuel to cooperate and integrate with each other rather than simply compete. Providing numerous examples of energy and fuel systems integration success stories, this book:
- Discusses the use of different mixtures of fuels for combustion, gasification, liquefaction, pyrolysis, and anaerobic digestion processes
- Describes the use of hybrid nuclear and renewable energy systems for power and heat cogenerations with nonelectrical applications
- Details the holistic integration of renewable, nuclear, and fossil energy systems by gas, heat, and smart electrical grids
Energy and Fuel Systems Integration emphasizes the many advantages of these integrated systems, including sustainability, flexibility for optimization
Trade Review
"This is a totally different kind of energy technology book, one that not only presents a comprehensive and accurate overview of the science and technology ... but also clearly outlines the energy roadmap for the future. ... It is an excellent desk reference for fuel scientists and engineers ... eminently suitable as a textbook for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses in disciplines seriously engaged in energy and fuels. This book most definitely belongs to the category of 'must have' and 'must read'-two thumbs up!" -Dr. Sunggyu Lee, Ohio University, Athens, USA "... highlights the advantages and need for using hybrid fuel and energy sources in the future. ... gives a comprehensive coverage of the strategies that can be used for the integration of fossil, renewable, and nuclear energy sources and the challenges involved. ... Considering the dwindling supply of fossil fuels, this book is a timely addition to the books on energy and fuels." -Prof. Deepak Kunzru, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur "Shah (Norfolk State Univ.) makes a scholarly attempt to bring coherence and harmony to the cacophonous field of energy and fuels. (...) The book is supported by extensive end-of-chapter references and a detailed table of contents and index. Part of CRC's "Green Chemistry and Chemical Engineering" series, the book would be most useful in collections supporting researchers or professionals working in the area of alternative fuels or advanced energy systems." --G. E. Johnson, Tennessee Technological University
