Considered as particularly difficult by generations of students and engineers, thermodynamics applied to energy systems can now be taught with an original instruction method. Energy Systems applies a completely different approach to the calculation, application and theory of multiple energy conversion technologies. It aims to create the reader’s foundation for understanding and applying the design principles to all kinds of energy cycles, including renewable energy. Proven to be simpler and more reflective than existing methods, it deals with energy system modeling, instead of the thermodynamic foundations, as the primary objective. Although its style is drastically different from other te...
It is rare that a book draws together the knowledge and experience of scientists, each a world leader in his or her discipline, to create a work that presents the state of the art in a field as rich and diverse as solar energy. In Solar Energy - the State of the Art this aim has been achieved. The book comprises twelve individual chapters, each dedicated to one of the major solar energy sub-disciplines and authored by an internationally recognised expert in the field. Areas covered range from solar radiation and meteorology, solar collectors and concentrators, solar energy and the built environment, to solar thermal electricity, photovoltaics, wind energy and the potential cost of ignoring s...
Process Engineering, the science and art of transforming raw materials and energy into a vast array of commercial materials, was conceived at the end of the 19th Century. Its history in the role of the Process Industries has been quite honorable, and techniques and products have contributed to improve health, welfare and quality of life. Today, industrial enterprises, which are still a major source of wealth, have to deal with new challenges in a global world. They need to reconsider their strategy taking into account environmental constraints, social requirements, profit, competition, and resource depletion. “Systems thinking” is a prerequisite from process development at the lab level ...
This books analyses how transnational gas markets have evolved and impacted on EU-Russia energy relations. It examines how the political conflict surrounding Ukraine has accelerated a negative interdependence in the region, with energy interdependence increasingly used as an instrument of diplomacy.

From the discovery of fire to that of the atom, the development of human societies has largely been based on the conquest of energy. In all countries, energy has gradually become one of the key factors of social and economic development, as well as capital, labor and natural resources, and now no one can do without it. After decades of cheap energy
4e de couv. : Cet ouvrage présente de manière élémentaire les propriétés remarquables des fonctions d’une variable complexe, qui connaissent un regain d’intérêt du fait de leur implication dans plusieurs développements théoriques récents. On a choisi de mettre ici l’accent sur les notions fort utiles d’indice et de logarithme complexe. Ce document, qui constitue le support de cours d’un enseignement de tronc commun dispensé aux élèves de Mines ParisTech, pourra intéresser les élèves des écoles d’ingénieurs et les étudiants en cours de premier cycle universitaire scientifique, ainsi que toute personne curieuse ayant une formation équivalente. Il est complété par une annexe comportant quelques rappels de topologie et des problèmes-type corrigés.
Cet ouvrage [...] présente les outils pour comparer les systèmes d’un point de vue économique et environnemental, et discute également comment mobiliser ces outils pour aider la décision, puis comment la diffusion de ces outils appelle à refonder les pratiques de conception dans les entreprises.
