Power Plays: Energy Options in the Age of Peak Oil

Apress, 2012

Many people wonder: Are we really running out of oil, or is it all a ruse to drive prices up? Is nuclear power safe and economical? Is solar energy really the key to providing plenty of carbon-free energy? Do we have enough natural gas or coal to make any loss of oil production irrelevant?

In Power Plays: Energy Options in the...

Electronics: A Systems Approach (3rd Edition)

Prentice Hall, 2006

Electronics represents one of the most important, and rapidly changing, areas of engineering. It is used at the heart of a vast range of products that extends from mobile phones to computers, and from cars to nuclear power stations. For this reason, all engineers, scientists and technologists need a basic understanding of such systems, while...

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: Emerging Technologies and Applications (Sustainable World)

Academic Press, 2005

The next several years will see a massive emergence of hydrogen fuel cells as an alterative energy option in both transportation and domestic use. The long-range expectation is that hydrogen will be used as a fuel, produced either from renewable energy, fossil, or nuclear sources, offering an environmentally acceptable and efficient source of...

The Next Wave in Computing, Optimization, and Decision Technologies

Springer, 2004
