Energy Conversion Engineering. [Textbook]
Book
·
OSTI ID:6437591
This book is a teaching text, directed toward students at the senior year in engineering or the physical sciences. The information presented is directed toward providing some of the analytical tools that will allow many of the arguments surrounding energy policy to be reduced to numerical values. The book provides a discussion of the laws of thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, chemical reaction kinetics, and applies them to energy-conversion systems. The laws of thermodynamics, the science of energy conversion, serves as the foundation of the text and is the link that ties all the information together. Chapters are entitled: Energy Uses and Resources; Thermodynamics; Chemical Reaction Equilibrium and Kinetics; Combustion of Fossil Fuel for Heat and Power; Coal Gasification and Liquefaction; Nuclear Energy; Solar Energy; Environmental Consideration; and Economics, Politics, and Social Implications.
