It introduces the many recent innovations on the production of electricity and the way they play a major role in combating global warming and improving the efficiency of generation. It contains a strong analytical approach to underpin the theory of power plants—for those using conventional fuels, as well as those using renewable fuels—and looks at the problems from a unique environmental engineering perspective. The book also includes numerous worked examples and case studies to demonstrate the working principles of these systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConventional and Alternative Power Generation: Thermodynamics, Mitigation and Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into eight chapters that comprehensively cover: thermodynamic systems; vapor power cycles; gas power cycles; combustion; control of particulates; carbon capture and storage; air pollution dispersal; and renewable energy and power plants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures an abundance of worked examples and tutorials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the problems of generating power from an environmental engineering perspective\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes all of the latest information, technology, theories, and principles on power generation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConventional and Alternative Power Generation: Thermodynamics, Mitigation and Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal text for courses on mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988988608741,"sku":"NP9781119479352","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119479352.jpg?v=1761782332","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/conventional-and-alternative-power-generation-isbn-9781119479352","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
