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.

"This illuminating book analyses energy transitions, carbon dioxide emissions and the security of energy supply in Mediterranean countries. Unpacking the history of energy transitions, from coal to oil and natural gas, and from non-renewable to renewable energy sources, Silvana Bartoletto offers a comparative approach to the major trends in energy consumption, production, trade and security in Mediterranean countries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Chapters illustrate the key similarities and differences between Mediterranean countries that have influenced energy supply and consumption patterns. Tracing economic convergence in the last century and highlighting its impact on energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, this timely book offers critical insights into the problems of energy dependency and security in areas of political turmoil, as well as crucial insights into the future of the energy crisis. It concludes with a look to the future of energy consumption in the age of climate change and the slow but critical transition to renewable sources. Enlightening and provocative, this book is key reading for scholars of political science and economics engaged with energy production and consumption, as well as those studying climate change. Its historical insights and overview of significant energy trends will also be useful for policymakers and climate scientists"--

This book discusses the balance of priorities within the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus and its impact on policy development and implementation, highlighting innovative perspectives in adopting a holistic approach to identify, analyse and manage the nexus component interdependencies. Due to increasing demands for natural resources, the WEF nexus has emerged as a response to the numerous global challenges. Addressing WEF challenges often involves balancing multiple and competing priorities and identifying and managing interrelations, synergies and trade-offs between the three components of the nexus. In this volume the authors focus on the dynamics between multiple stakeholders, such as governments, businesses, NGOs and local communities, when addressing WEF challenges by adopting a nexus approach. The book argues that effective engagement of multiple stakeholders can address difficulties arising from the introduction of an integrated approach to WEF policy design and implementation, increasing the potential benefits. The book also looks at the effect of international relations and regional power struggles on resolving cross-border WEF nexus issues. Case studies are drawn from Kenya, Central Asia, USA and Peru, highlighting key themes, such as how collaborative governance, enabled and facilitated by relational equity management, can be viewed as an innovative way to reconcile competing priorities. The combination of theoretical and case study chapters makes the book of interest to a wide audience, including scholars and advanced students of sustainable development, agriculture and food studies, water and energy policy design and governance, as well as to practitioners working in the fields of water, energy and food security.
