 Renewable Energy (Energy Science and Engineering)The present edition has been updated in a number of renewable energy technology areas (Chapter 4 and 5), where progress have been made over the recent years. New solar simulation studies have been added to Chapter 6, and market considerations have been included in the overview in Chapter 1, and in discussing industry liberalisation in Chapter 7.... | | Renewable Resources and Renewable Energy: A Global ChallengeAs energy demands continue to surge worldwide, the need for more efficient and environmentally neutral energy production also becomes increasingly apparent. Renewable Resources and Renewable Energy: A Global Challenge presents a well-rounded perspective on the development of bio-based feedstocks, biodegradable plastics, hydrogen... | | Fuel Cell Research Trends
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device. It produces electricity from
external supplies of fuel (on the anode side) and oxidant (on the cathode side). These react in
the presence of an electrolyte. Generally, the reactants flow in and reaction products flow out
while the electrolyte remains in the cell. Fuel... |

The Hype About Hydrogen: Fact and Fiction in the Race to Save the ClimateIn his 2003 State of the Union address, President Bush seized the nation's attention with his advocacy of a "hydrogen economy," with fuel cells that produce energy and water taking the place of fossil fuels in cars that produce greenhouse gases. As Romm (Cool Companies), a former Department of Energy official in the Clinton... | | Electroactive Polymers for Robotic Applications: Artificial Muscles and SensorsElectroactive polymers (EAPs) respond to electrical stimulation with large deformations. They are dynamic actuators which have attracted attention from an interdisciplinary audience of engineers and scientists. An enabling EAP technology is emerging which attempts to imitate the properties of natural muscle and which, as a result, can perform a... | | Lean Combustion: Technology and ControlCombustion under sufficiently fuel-lean conditions can have the desirable attributes of high efficiency and low emissions, this being particularly important in light of recent and rapid increases in the cost of fossil fuels and concerns over the links between combustion and global climate change. Lean Combustion is an eminently authoritative,... |

The Martians of Science: Five Physicists Who Changed the Twentieth CenturyIf science has the equivalent of a Bloomsbury group, it is the five men born at the turn of the twentieth century in Budapest: Theodore von Karman, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, John von Neumann, and Edward Teller. From Hungary to Germany to the United States, they remained friends and continued to work together and influence each other throughout... | | Introduction to Quantum Theory and Atomic Structure (Oxford Chemistry Primers, 37)This book illuminates the basic concepts of quantum chemistry, and emphasizes atomic structure but not molecular applications. The author starts with a survey of the basic ideas and problems of wave/particle duality, the nature of wave function, and its statistical interpretation. He then discusses some important applications of Schrodinger's... | | |
