Energy from Nuclear Fusion (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Nuclear fusion is a promising potential solution to the global energy problem, but key factors in the development of the science have caused doubts as to its commercial viability. In this book, established author Richard A. Dunlap provides a comprehensive account of the physics of nuclear fusion and its developmental history, using this as a basis to assess its worth as a carbon-free energy source for the future.

Energy from Nuclear Fusion explores a range of issues relevant to the use of nuclear fusion as a potential solution to the energy problem. Prof. Dunlap assesses the viability of nuclear fusion as a component of our future energy mix, contextualising his discussion of nuclear fusion as an energy source through a comprehensive review of our current and future energy requirements. The book also considers alternatives to nuclear fusion alongside issues pertaining to the commercial application of nuclear-based solutions.

Intended for upper-level undergraduate science and engineering students, as well as non-specialist graduate students and professionals looking for a scientifically-based overview of nuclear fusion power, Energy from Nuclear Fusion bridges the gap between descriptive texts and those intended for specialists, providing an accessible reference for anyone interested in nuclear fusion as a carbon-free energy solution.
