De la contraportada

This textbook provides readers with a practical understanding of the key aspects of energy. This latest edition includes two new chapters on Decarbonization and Energy Transition

Beginning with fundamental definitions, the textbook explores primary and secondary energy types, internal energy, enthalpy, energy balance, heat of reaction, and heat transfer. Each chapter features fully solved examples and practice problems to reinforce learning and application. 

Topics covered include:

Energy production, conversion, and conservation

Energy storage and coupling

Sustainability in energy systems

Renewable energy solutions

Energy management and economics

Decarbonization and energy transition 

Designed for students across engineering and science disciplines, this comprehensive guide is ideal for courses in energy technology, sustainable energy systems,  energy conversion and management,  decarbonization and energy transition. It also serves as a valuable reference for engineers, researchers, and industry professionals. 

An updated solutions manual is available to course instructors upon request from the author or online via Springer Nature Link.
