(Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Series) 1st Edition
by Efstathios E. Michaelides (Author)
Energy and the Environment explains in simple terms what the
energy demand is at the present, what the environmental effects of
energy use are, and what can be accomplished to alleviate the
environmental effects of energy use and ensure adequate energy supply.
Though technical in approach, the text uses simple explanations of
engineering processes and systems and algebra-based math to be
comprehensible to students in a range of disciplines. Schematic
diagrams, quantitative examples, and numerous problems will help
students make quantitative calculations. This will assist them in
comprehending the complexity of the energy-environment balance, and to
analyze and evaluate proposed solutions.
