Описание: Nuclear Energy is one of the most popular texts ever published on basic nuclear physics, systems, and applications of nuclear energy. This newest edition continues the tradition of offering a holistic treatment of everything the undergraduate engineering student needs to know in a clear and accessible way. The book presents a comprehensive overview of radioactivity, radiation protection, nuclear reactors, waste disposal, and nuclear medicine. . The seventh edition is restructured into three parts: Basic Concepts, Nuclear Power (including new chapters on nuclear power plants and introduction to reactor theory), and Radiation and Its Uses. Part Two in particular has been updated with current developments, including a new section on Reactor Safety and Security (with a discussion of the Fukushima Diiachi accident); updated information on naval and space propulsion; and revised and updated information on radioactive waste storage, transportation, and disposal. Part Three features new content on biological effects of radiation, radiation standards, and radiation detection.

Описание:
"Low-carbon Energy Security from a European Perspective" draws on the European Commission s funded project MILESECURE-2050 project. It considers low-carbon energy security and energy geopolitics in Europe, with a focus on four thematic clusters:
Challenging the energy security paradigm Climate change and energy security objectives (the components of a secure and low-carbon energy system) Energy security in a geopolitical perspective, as it relates to economics, resource competition, and availability The influence of large scale renewable energy projects on energy security and shift geopolitical alliances
An overarching narrative is that optimizing the energy system simultaneously across different objectives may be impossible (i.e., lowest cost, least environmental impact, minimal downtime, regional supply).
This book explores these charged topics through insights from a series of novel, new energy project case studies demonstrates the need for difficult political conversations, within Europe and beyond, by posing fundamental, yet new questions about the energy security paradigm. Offers a unique perspective on low-carbon energy security by considering the assumptions behind current energy security needs Suggests the benefit of envisioning energy security through out-of-the-box scenario development in respect to the energy system. Includes energy in an International Scenario with case studies from Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Morroco, China, Souith America and Europe."
Описание: Developing countries are searching for alternative energy options to promote sustainable and equitable development. This study analyzes the current sources, usage and environmental impact of biomass energy in India. Case studies of successful bioenergy projects are presented.
Описание: This volume presents an economic framework for the analysis of resilience in relation to societal, environmental, and personal security perspectives.

Описание:
Transport and Energy Research: A Behavioral Perspective deals with the transport issues associated with energy from a behavioral perspective in an interdisciplinary and systematic way. Existing transport and energy research has focused on technologies and energy efficiency; however, more efficient technologies do not necessarily lead to energy reduction. Unfortunately, very limited behavioral research can be found in the literature. This book covers major transport modes in major countries. It emphasizes the importance of researching the behaviors of not only transport and energy service users, but also transport and energy service providers, policy makers, organizations, company managers, and other stakeholders who are involved in and/or affected by transport and energy policies. It not only overviews the history of relevant research and presents new developments but also extensively discusses the future research issues. Various findings are summarized for reducing energy consumption from a behavioral perspective. This book provides readers with behavioral insights into more effective policymaking. Behavioral interventions are recommended as a key policy instrument for reducing energy consumption in a sustainable way. It provides policy makers with comprehensive insights into making more effective policies over the whole process of policymaking. The book can serve as a handbook for researchers and a textbook for graduate students in the fields of transport, energy, environment, planning, public policy, behavioral studies, and so on.
