Abstract

The vast majority of the world's climate scientists believe that the build-up of heat-trapping CO2 in the atmosphere will lead to global warming unless we burn less fossil fuels. At the same time, energy must be supplied in increasing amounts for the developing world to continue its growth. This book discusses the feasibility of increasingly efficient energy use and the potential for supplying energy from sources that do not introduce CO2. The book analyses the prospects for Earth-based renewables: solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal and ocean energy. It then discusses nuclear fission and fusion, and the relatively new idea of harvesting solar energy on satellites or lunar bases. It will be essential reading for all those interested in energy issues, including engineers and physicists (electrical, mechanical, chemical, industrial, environmental, nuclear), and industrial leaders and politicians. It will also be used as a supplementary textbook on advanced courses on energy.

Abstract

The energy transition is in full swing. Worldwide, windmills and solar panels are taking over from fossil fuels. The construction of these new energy landscapes is often met with resistance. What if this is not about energy technologies, but about the drastic change of our immediate living environment, the places where we live, work and recreate?The Power of Landscape examines various energy landscapes in Europe and the US in the present, past and future, based on the qualitative and emotional significance of the landscape for residents and users. It thus bridges the gap between the world of renewable energy and the world of spatial designers for the first time. The book is an eye-opener for organizing the new energy challenges in a way that is both sustainable and attractive.The core of the book forms the research into High-Density Energy Landscapes at the Academy of Architecture Amsterdam and Wageningen University by Sven Stremke, Dirk Oudes and Paolo Picchi. A number of experts from the world of energy transition and environmental design contribute and reflect on their research.

Abstract

In the 20th century, cheap and abundant energy brought previously unimaginable advances in health, wealth, and technology, and fed an explosion in population and consumption. But this growth came at an incredible cost. Climate change, peak oil, freshwater depletion, species extinction, and a host of economic and social problems now challenge us as never before. The Post Carbon Reader features articles by some of the world's most provocative thinkers on the key drivers shaping this new century, from renewable energy and urban agriculture to social justice and systems resilience. This unprecedented collection takes a hard-nosed look at the interconnected threats of our global sustainability quandary--as well as the most promising responses. The Post Carbon Reader is a valuable resource for policymakers, college classrooms, and concerned citizens.

Abstract

Toegepaste energietechniek deel 1 biedt een inleiding in de wereld van de energietechnische systemen. In het boek komen alle energietechnieken en -systemen aan bod. Het is het enige boek in Nederland op dit vakgebied. Na twee algemene hoofdstukken over energietechniek en verbrandingstechniek wordt achtereenvolgens aandacht besteed aan de onderwerpen warmwaterketels, zuigerverbrandingsmotoren, gasturbines, stoominstallaties, pompen, compressoren en ventilatoren, koude-installaties en geïntegreerde installaties als STEG.Met dit boek leert de student de technieken en systemen te herkennen en te beoordelen op functioneren aan de hand van keuzecriteria.Bij de bespreking van deze systemen wordt uitgegaan van een systeembenadering waarin de nadruk ligt op de gebruikseigenschappen en -kenmerken van de werktuigen en energiesystemen.Tevens komen de aspecten energie-efficiency en vermindering van de milieubelasting aan bod.Optimalisering van de rendementen is de rode draad bij alle systemen.
