Earth's Resources by Izzi Howell explores the various natural resources available on Earth, including oil, coal, natural gas, wood, and water. The book discusses how these resources are used in daily life, their impact on the environment, and the challenges associated with their extraction and consumption. It highlights the differences in resource usage between more and less economically developed countries and emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices such as reducing, reusing, and recycling. The intended audience includes young readers and educators seeking to understand resource management and environmental conservation.

Lukas Pehle beschäftigt sich mit der transienten thermischen und strukturmechanischen Analyse einer 19-stufigen Mitteldruck-Dampfturbine. Dafür errechnet und bewertet er Zeitdauern und auftretende Spannungen, um ein breites Spektrum an Vorwärm-Szenarien beschreiben zu können. Das dabei verwendete und weiterentwickelte Festkörpermodell wird an experimentellen Daten kalibriert, um im Anschluss eine Parameterstudie durchführen zu können. Mithilfe des untersuchten Konzepts des Vorwärmens von Dampfturbinen können thermisch induzierte Spannungen beim Kraftwerksstart verringert werden. Dieses Buch leistet aufgrund der dadurch flexibleren Kraftwerke einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Versorgungssicherheit nach der Energiewende, also für den Übergang von fossilen Energieträgern und der Kernenergie zu einer nachhaltigen Energieversorgung mittels erneuerbarer Energien. Der Inhalt Grundlagen physikalischer Phänomene wie Strömungsmechanik, Wärmeübertragung und Festkörpermechanik Modellierungen zur transienten Temperatur- und Spannungsverteilung einer Dampfturbine Parameterstudie Die Zielgruppen Dozierende, Studierende und Praktizierende aus der Energietechnik, dem Maschinenbau und der Wärmeübertragung Der Autor Lukas Pehle arbeitet zurzeit beim Institut für Kraftwerkstechnik, Dampf- und Gasturbinen in Aachen. Er untersucht den Heißgaseinzug in Radseitenräumen von Gasturbinen mithilfe einer Versuchsturbine und forscht in der Dampfturbinen-Vorwärmung.

Energy Resources: Examining the Facts provides an authoritative, comprehensive overview of economic, political, and environmental drivers of America's energy picture, from trends in the production and consumption of fossil fuels and renewables to the state of the national energy grid. Energy Resources: Examining the Facts is part of a series that uses evidence-based documentation to examine the veracity of claims and beliefs about high-profile issues in American culture and politics. Each book in the Contemporary Debates series is intended to puncture rather than perpetuate myths that diminish our understanding of important policies and positions; to provide needed context for misleading statements and claims; and to confirm the factual accuracy of other assertions. This installment in the series provides a comprehensive overview of all energy resources used in the United States, including fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal), nuclear power, hydropower, other major renewables (solar and wind), and even smaller energy sources, such as wood products (biomass), ethanol, plant-based fluids/gases, and geothermal, that have meaningful potential for future growth. The framework of laws and regulations in which energy resources are developed, produced, and overseen is described, as are the ways in which economic development powered by different energy resources is impacting people and ecosystems in the United States and around the world.

"We know, from repeated failures to predict and prevent catastrophes ranging from the Great Tohoku Earthquake to the global financial crisis of 2008, that complex adaptive systems, such as those found in nature or in economies, are actually very hard to predict, much less influence. Today, we face environmental degradation caused in large part by the use of fossil fuels, ever-declining efficiencies in extracting them, a pace of development for renewable energy insufficient for replacement of the fossil fuels we are burning through, and population growth that is likely to add two billion people globally by 2045. Despite partial recovery since the financial crisis of 2008, growth remains sluggish, and large budget deficits persist across much of the developed world. Meanwhile, developing states face their own challenges, stemming from unbalanced growth. Against this backdrop, and in light of the urgent need to pay closer heed to our environment, the last thing the world needs is an energy crisis triggered not merely by recurrent scares over supply, but by more lasting structural changes in our ability to use fossil fuels with reckless abandon. Buying Time applies lessons learned the hard way from the global economic crisis of the past decade, to offer an overview of the state of the environment and our energy future. Grounded in subtle thinking about complex systems, including the economy, energy, and the environment, this book underscores the connections linking them all. Kaz Makabe is a veteran financial systems expert who lived through the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. He nevertheless concludes that nuclear energy is the bridge than can help us cross over the abyss we face."
