Full Description
This book, now in its Third Edition, is an introductory text on renewable energy sources, technologies and their applications—a subject that is becoming increasingly important worldwide. While technological development has improved the efficiency of Energy Conversion Systems (ECS) from renewable resources, Energy Conservation is also given due importance. The authors have tried to incorporate such changes in this thoroughly revised edition.
Besides this, a large number of numerical problems to correlate theory with typical values, several case studies and chapter-wise review questions are also given to reinforce the understanding of the subject matter.
Written in an accessible style, this textbook is intended to serve as an introductory text for the subject of energy and environment for all branches of Engineering and Environmental Sciences. It will also be useful for all higher-level courses in energy programmes and multi-disciplinary postgraduate courses in science and engineering.
