Description
Contents
This second edition to a popular first provides a comprehensive, fully updated treatment of advanced conventional power generation and co-generation plants, as well as alternative energy technologies. Organized into three parts: Advanced fossil Fuel-Fired Power Generation; Advanced Renewable Energy Systems; and Clean Energy Systems; this book serves as a textbook for students in Energy Engineering courses, as well as professionals in the field. It covers the fundamentals, analysis, design, and practical aspects of advanced energy systems, thus providing a strong theoretical background for highly efficient energy conversion. It contains solved examples, basic and complicated, and problem sets within each chapter.
