Handbook of Alternative Fuel Technologies (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Lee, Sunggyu; Loyalka, Sudarshan K.; Speight, James G.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the different intermediates and raw material options that can generate energy output and products equivalent to conventional fossil energy sources. It presents short-term options for clean alternative energy sources that complement the development of long-term sustainable energy infrastructures. Detailing the chemical processes for each technology, the text also assesses the environmental impacts, benefits, and performance of the various processes and fuel products. It also summarizes processing and transportation issues, process design options, safety concerns, regulations, and other practical considerations associated with alternative fuels.

His specialty areas include alternative fuels and renewable energy, advanced and functional materials, as well as chemical reaction and process engineering. Dr. Lee has 34 U.S. patents and over 180 international patents in addition to more than 500 archival publications. He is the editor of the Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing published by Taylor & Francis. He earned his PhD from Case Western Reserve University and his BS and MS from Seoul National University. Dr. James G. Speight, C CChem, FRSC, FCIC, FACS, earned his BSc and PhD from the University of Manchester, England. He also holds a DSc in the geological sciences (VINIGRI, St. Petersburg, Russia) and a PhD in petroleum engineering (Dubna International University, Moscow, Russia). Dr. Speight is the author of more than 50 books and Editor-in-Chief for a number of journals in the energy and environmental fields He was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1996 and awarded the Gold Medal of Honor that same year. He has also received the Scientists without Borders Medal of Honor of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2001, the academy also awarded Dr. Speight the Einstein Medal. Sudarshan Loyalka was educated in Pilani, India (BE 1964) and Stanford University (MS 1965, PhD 1967). He is currently a Curators' Professor of Nuclear Engineering in the Nuclear Science and Engineering Institute at the University of Missouri in Columbia. His educational and research interests are in transport theory, aerosol mechanics, the kinetic theory of gases, and neutron reactor physics and safety. A registered professional nuclear engineer in Missouri, he is a coauthor/coeditor of five books, and is a member of the editorial advisory boards of both Progress in Nuclear Energy and the Annals of Nuclear Energy.
