Ponzanesi, Sandra, Kathrin Thiele, Eva Midden, Domitilla Olivieri et Trude Oorschot. Transities in kunst, cultuur en politiek. Nieuwe Prinsengracht 89 1018 VR Amsterdam Nederland : Amsterdam University Press, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789048560110.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In deze bundel staat de rol van kunst, cultuur en politiek bij transities en de strijd voor sociale rechtvaardigheid centraal. Soms zijn deze transities traumatische en gewelddadige processen zoals in het geval van Zuid-Afrika na de apartheid. In andere gevallen, zoals in Europa, gaat het om langdurige geschiedenissen die verband hebben met kolonialisme, de holocaust en totalitarisme. De auteurs verkennen intersectionele vraagstukken van transitie en sociale verandering in samenhang met bredere debatten over de rol van democratie, burgerschap en mensenrechten. Ze gaan daarbij een dialoog aan met het werk van feministische wetenschapper Rosemarie Buikema.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Culturele en Maatschappelijke Vorming (CMV) levert als hogere beroepsopleiding aankomende professionals af die mensen gaan ‘ondersteunen bij het vormen van zichzelf en bij het vormgeven aan hun maatschappelijk leven’. Aan wat voor vereisten moeten die professionals voldoen en hoe moeten ze daartoe worden opgeleid? Die vragen krijgen een helder antwoord in Alert en ondernemend 2.0. Dit nieuwe opleidingsprofiel schetst de context en de maatschappelijke opdracht die daaruit voor CMV’ers voortvloeit. Het plaatst CMV in internationale ontwikkelingen (zoals het ontstaan van ‘social work’ en benoemt de ‘body of knowledge’. Hoofdmoot wordt gevormd door de concrete competenties. De wereld is minder overzichtelijk geworden en het beleid weet daar niet altijd goed raad mee. CMV’ers gaan mét de burger op zoek naar houvast. Dit opleidingsprofiel schept duidelijkheid over hun rol en mogelijkheden.

Clarke, Andrew. Energy and heat. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199551668.003.0002.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Energy is the capacity to do work and heat is the spontaneous flow of energy from one body or system to another through the random movement of atoms or molecules. The entropy of a system determines how much of its internal energy is unavailable for work under isothermal conditions, and the Gibbs energy is the energy available for work under isothermal conditions and constant pressure. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that for any reaction to proceed spontaneously the total entropy (system plus surroundings) must increase, which is why metabolic processes release heat. All organisms are thermodynamically open systems, exchanging both energy and matter with their surroundings. They can decrease their entropy in growth and development by ensuring a greater increase in the entropy of the environment. For an ideal gas in thermal equilibrium the distribution of energy across the component atoms or molecules is described by the Maxwell-Boltzmann equation. This distribution is fixed by the temperature of the system.

Escudier, Marcel. Compressible pipe flow. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198719878.003.0013.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In this chapter gas flow through pipes is analysed, taking account of compressibility and either friction or heat exchange with the fluid. It is shown that in all cases the key parameter is the Mach number. The analyses are based upon the conservation laws for mass, momentum, and energy, together with an equation of state. So that significant results can be achieved, the flowing fluid is treated as a perfect gas, and the flow as one dimensional. Adiabatic pipe flow with wall friction is termed Fanno flow. Frictionless pipe flow with heat transfer is termed Rayleigh flow. It is found that both flows, and also isothermal pipe flow with wall friction, can be limited by choking.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Doctoral Thesis examines the control of the swirling flame flow dynamics with an external static electric field by firing the gaseous products of thermal decomposition of pelletized straw, woody biomass, and peat with the aim of more efficient heat production with a decrease of flue gas emissions. The intensification of the downward vortex in the electric field has been determined, ensuring improved mixing of the air vortex with the biomass thermal decomposition gas flow, intensifying the convective mass transfer towards the heating surfaces, and increasing the amount of heat energy produced in the biomass thermochemical conversion process.

Sherwood, Dennis, et Paul Dalby. Ideal gas processes – and two ideal gas case studies too. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198782957.003.0007.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter brings together, and builds on, the results from previous chapters to provide a succinct, and comprehensive, summary of all key relationships relating to ideal gases, including the heat and work associated with isothermal, adiabatic, isochoric and isobaric changes, and the properties of an ideal gas’s heat capacities at constant volume and constant pressure. The chapter also has two ‘case studies’ which use the ideal gas equations in broader, and more real, contexts, so showing how the equations can be used to tackle, successfully, more extensive systems. The first ‘case study’ is the Carnot cycle, and so covers all the fundamentals required for the proof of the existence of entropy as a state function; the second ‘case study’ is the ‘thermodynamic pendulum’ – a system in which a piston in an enclosed cylinder oscillates to and fro like a pendulum under gravity, in both the absence, and presence, of friction.

van der Hoeven, Frank, et Alexander Wandl. Hotterdam : How space is making Rotterdam warmer, how this affects the health of its inhabitants, and what can be done about it. TU Delft Open, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.47982/bookrxiv.1.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Heat waves will occur in Rotterdam with greater frequency in the future. Those affected most will be the elderly – a group that is growing in size. In the light of the Paris heat wave of August 2003 and the one in Rotterdam in July 2006, mortality rates among the elderly in particular are likely to rise in the summer. METHOD The aim of the Hotterdam research project was to gain a better understanding of urban heat. The heat was measured and the surface energy balance modelled from that perspective. Social and physical features of the city we identified in detail with the help of satellite images, GIS and 3D models. We determined the links between urban heat/surface energy balance and the social/physical features of Rotterdam by multivariable regression analysis. The crucial elements of the heat problem were then clustered and illustrated on a social and a physical heat map. RESULTS The research project produced two heat maps, an atlas of underlying data and a set of adaptation measures which, when combined, will make the city of Rotterdam and its inhabitants more aware and less vulnerable to heat wave-related health effects. CONCLUSION In different ways, the pre-war districts of the city (North, South, and West) are warmer and more vulnerable to urban heat than are other areas of Rotterdam. The temperature readings that we carried out confirm these findings as far as outdoor temperatures are concerned. Indoor temperatures vary widely. Homes seem to have their particular dynamics, in which the house’s age plays a role. The above-average mortality of those aged 75 and over during the July 2006 heat wave in Rotterdam can be explained by a) the concentration of people in this age group, b) the age of the homes they live in, and c) the sum of sensible heat and ground heat flux. A diverse mix of impervious surfaces, surface water, foliage, building envelopes and shade make one area or district warmer than another. Adaptation measures are in the hands of residents, homeowners and the local council alike, and relate to changing behaviour, physical measures for homes, and urban design respectively.

Prümm, Karl, dir. Bertrand Tavernier. edition text + kritik im Richard Boorberg Verlag, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.5771/9783869168883.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Bertrand Tavernier (*1941) gehört neben André Téchiné zu den wichtigsten Regisseuren jener Generation, die der Nouvelle Vague unmittelbar folgte. Bisweilen wird Tavernier mit den großen Auteur-Regisseuren Truffaut, Godard, Rohmer und Rivette verglichen, doch das allein wird seinem reichen und eigenständigen Oeuvre nicht gerecht. Vieles lässt darauf schließen, dass Tavernier den Vorbildern der Nouvelle Vague folgte: Auch er beginnt als Filmkritiker, ist zugleich als Autor, Regisseur und Produzent tätig, eignet sich immer wieder die Filmgeschichte neu an und gilt als einer der besten Kenner des amerikanischen Films. Dennoch geht er ganz eigene Wege, grenzt sich keineswegs scharf ab vom Cinéma de qualité der 1950er Jahre und pflegt ein ganz pragmatisches Verhältnis zum Genrekino. Das Heft verbindet grundsätzliche Untersuchungen zu Taverniers Verhältnis zur Nouvelle Vague, zu seinen politischen Überzeugungen und seiner Rolle als Dokumentarist mit exemplarischen Analysen seiner originellen Beiträge zu den Genres des Kriminal-, Musik-, Historien- und Kriegsfilms.

Texte intégralRésumé :
De wetenschappelijke beoefening van de neerlandistiek heeft ook buiten het Nederlandse taalgebied een lange geschiedenis. In sommige landen waren er al in de eerste helft van de negentiende eeuw taal- en letterkundigen die zich met de Nederlandse taal en de Nederlandstalige literatuur bezighielden. De geschiedenis van de internationale neerlandistiek moet tot op heden nog geschreven worden. Deze bundel met artikelen, die teruggaat op een congres dat in 2008 aan de Freie Universität Berlin gehouden werd, wil daartoe een eerste aanzet geven. De artikelen, die in het Nederlands geschreven zijn en van een Duitse en een Engelse samenvatting vergezeld gaan, geven een goede indruk van een vakgebied dat in een groot aantal Europese landen niet alleen op een lange traditie kan bogen, maar vandaag de dag bovendien ook rijkgeschakeerd en springlevend is.

Texte intégralRésumé :
‘Humidification, Nebulization, and Gas Filtering’ describes the therapies, which, while not essential to ventilation, are frequently applied together with it. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion of these devices, including the clinical needs for them and their operating principles, options, and common complications. It describes the composition and operating principle of active heated humidifiers. Artificial humidification brings with it the additional issue of circuit rainout, which may require that heated wires be added to the breathing circuit. The chapter includes a table for troubleshooting issues related to active humidification. Heat and moisture exchangers or HMEs, an alternative to humidifiers, are also discussed. Finally, the chapter turns to the use of in-line nebulizers or aerosol therapy. The chapter ends with a discussion of respiratory gas filtering, which, for all the benefit a bacteria filter brings, also introduce the risk of occlusion.

Gordon, Deborah. No Standard Oil. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190069476.001.0001.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The next decade will be decisive in the fight against climate change. It will be impossible to hold the planet to a 1.5 degrees Celsius temperature rise without controlling methane and carbon dioxide emissions from the oil and gas sector. Contrary to popular belief, the world will not run out of these resources anytime soon. Instead, oil and gas are becoming more climate-intensive to supply using technologies like fracking oil and liquefying gas—even as these abundant resources continue to be used to fuel cars, heat homes, and produce consumer goods like shampoo, pajamas, and paint. Policymakers, financial investors, environmental advocates, and citizens need to understand what oils and fossil fuels are doing to our climate to inform decision-making. In No Standard Oil, Deborah Gordon shows that no two oils or gases are environmentally alike. Each has a distinct, quantifiable climate impact. While all oils and gases pollute, some are much worse for the climate than others. In clear, accessible language, Gordon explains the results of the Oil Climate Index Plus Gas (OCI+), an innovative, open-source model that estimates global oil and gas greenhouse gas emissions. Gordon identifies the oils and gases from every region of the globe—along with the specific production, processing, and refining activities—that are the most damaging to the planet and proposes innovative solutions to reduce their climate footprints. Global climate stabilization cannot afford to wait for oil and gas to run out. No Standard Oil shows how people can take immediate, practical steps to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the crucial oil and gas sector while making sustainable progress in transitioning to a carbon-free energy future.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Hydrogen, the first and most abundant element in our universe, is an essential zero-carbon fuel in humanity’s race against catastrophic climate change. However, very few have access to cryogenic systems for energy-dense hydrogen to gain the necessary experience to contribute to this race. This textbook is written as an invitation for scientists and engineers with experience in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer to engage in this race for the future via cryogenic hydrogen research and development. We begin with the history of hydrogen and cryogenics, to create a context for current needs. In Chapter 2, we build a foundation for hydrogen’s unique quantum-mechanical effects on bulk thermophysical properties, and how to choose from and utilize available property models. Practical methods are presented in Chapter 3 for sensing and converting between the quantum-mechanical forms. Chapter 4 presents foundational aspects of hydrogen liquefaction and cooling in recuperative and regenerative cycles. Elements of hydrogen-transfer phenomena including heat-exchanger optimization and recently developed two-phase flow correlations and thermoacoustic instabilities are discussed in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 is an extensive analysis of liquid hydrogen storage-system options. The final chapter overviews the Cool Fuel School, a hands-on cryogenic hydrogen training course that helps readers develop a new system design and associated cryogenic hydrogen safety plan. Readers of this book should gain confidence in the foundational aspects of cryogenic hydrogen science and engineering.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Pieter Verster dra uit die ryk en ryp oesland van die Ou en Nuwe Testament ’n oorvloed gerwe. ’n Uitnemende geleerde is hier aan die woord. Die Persoon en werk van die Heilige Gees, die derde Persoon van God Drie-enig, word vars en nuut belig. Dit geld ook vir die skywer se ander sentrale teologiese insigte. Die boek getuig van ’n gedeë studie; dit is ’n meesterstuk. Dit sal nie slegs die vakkenner boei nie, maar elke leser sal deur die boek tot helderheid gelei word. Hierdie boek is soos ’n fontein helder murmelende water wat hoop aan dorstige en moedelose mense gee wat in die greep van armoede, korrupsie en rassisme vasgevang is. Met die boek staan Pieter Verster nie slegs nasionaal nie, maar ook internasionaal op die voorpunt van liggewende perspektiewe op die wese van en uitdagings aan die Missionêre Teologie. - Prof. Cas Vos Hierdie boek van Pieter Verster gee ’n indrukwekkende perspektief. Sending gaan daaroor om die blye boodskap te bring van Christus wat vir ons gekruisig is. Ons het ’n boodskap vir hierdie wêreld van COVID-19, van die korrupte politiek, van die armoede, van die misdaad, van sondige en moedelose mense. God beloof nie dat alles reg sal kom nie. Hy het hierdie werklikheid tot op die afskuwelikste gedeel. En Hy het daaraan, aan die konkrete werklikheid van Suid-Afrika van 2020, gesterf. Maar Hy het opgestaan, nie om nou alles reg te maak nie, maar sodat ons as ons sterf aan hierdie onheil steeds mag bely dat ons met Christus sal opstaan. Wanneer ons geen voortgang sien nie, moet ons nie moedeloos word nie: in die wêreld kan ons net ’n bietjie vir mekaar doen en het ons verdrukking, maar Hy het die wêreld oorwin: Christus leef en ons sal saam met Hom leef. Dis evangelie, ’n blye berig vir moedelose en hooplose mense. - Prof. Bram van de Beek

Escudier, Marcel. Compressible fluid flow. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198719878.003.0011.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Compressible-gas flow through convergent and convergent-divergent nozzles is analysed in this chapter based upon the conservation laws for mass, momentum, and energy, together with considerations of thermodynamics. It is shown that in both cases the key parameter in describing the flow is the Mach number, which is used to distinguish between subsonic and supersonic flow. So that significant results can be achieved, the flowing fluid is treated as a perfect gas, and the flow as one dimensional. Flow through a convergent nozzle and the choking limitation is discussed. Flow through a normal shockwave, which is an important feature of supersonic flow, is also analysed. No account is taken of surface friction or heat transfer, and the flow upstream and downstream of a shockwave is treated as isentropic. In addition, the conditions are discussed under which a shockwave arises in compressible flow through a convergent-divergent nozzle.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mitigation—preventative actions to reduce the human forcing of climate change with the goal of keeping climate change within a range to which humans can adapt—must be prompt, rigorous, and focused on eliminating emissions of carbon dioxide, beginning with rapid cessation of the use of coal. Carbon dioxide is by far the most threatening greenhouse gas because it remains in the atmosphere for millennia longer than any other major greenhouse gas, and the heat retained on the planet by atmospheric carbon dioxide will continue to emerge from its transitional storage in the deep oceans for millennia after the atmospheric carbon finally dissipates. Sustainable development can be increased and ocean acidification can be stopped only if the dominant fossil fuel regime is promptly replaced by an affordable and accessible alternative energy regime. Poorer countries cannot be reasonably expected to cooperate with vigorous mitigation unless they are assisted with necessary adaptation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Much literature on environmental health has described threats from the environment. The Oxford Textbook of Nature and Public Health: The Role of Nature in Improving the Health of a Population focuses on the role of nature for our health and well-being by demonstrating how we can gain multiple health benefits from nature, and how much we risk losing by destroying our surrounding natural environment. Providing a broad and inclusive picture of the multifaceted relation between human health and natural environments, the books covers all aspects of this relationship ranging from disease prevention; through physical activity in green spaces, to ecosystem services like climate change adaptation by urban trees preventing heat stress in hot climates. Nature’s potential hazardous consequences are also discussed including natural disasters, vector-borne pathogens, and allergies.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter covers the basic science of physics relevant to anaesthetic practice. Equipment and measurement devices are covered elsewhere. Starting with fundamentals, atomic structure is introduced, followed by dimensions and units as used in science. Basic mechanics are then discussed, focusing on mass and density, force, pressure, energy, and power. The concept of linearity, hysteresis, and frequency response in physical systems is then introduced, using relevant examples, which are easy to understand. Laminar and turbulent fluid flow is then described, using flow measurement devices as applications of this theory. The concept of pressure and its measurement is then discussed in some detail, including partial pressure. Starting with the kinetic theory of gases, heat and temperature are described, along with the gas laws, critical temperature, sublimation, latent heat, vapour pressure and vaporization illustrated by the function of anaesthetic vaporizers, humidity, solubility, diffusion, osmosis, and osmotic pressure. Ultrasound and its medical applications are discussed in some detail, including Doppler and its use to measure flow. This is followed by an introduction to lasers and their medical uses. The final subject covered is electricity, starting with concepts of charge and current, voltage, energy, and power, and the role of magnetism. This is followed by a discussion of electrical circuits and the rules governing them, and bridge circuits used in measurement. The function of capacitors and inductors is then introduced, and alternating current and transformers are described.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Literatur ist so digital wie die Gesellschaft, in der sie stattfindet. Heute sind Rezeption und Literaturproduktion weitestgehend von digitaler Technik bestimmt. Und doch lassen sich Unterschiede ausmachen, inwieweit die unter den Bedingungen einer digital bestimmten Lebenswelt produzierte Literatur auch diese Bedingtheit reflektiert. Im Gegenwartsroman, in dem Digitalität vor allem auf Beschreibungsebene Eingang findet, werden die Parameter klassischer literarischer Form selten angetastet. Weiter gehen Experimente in sozialen Medien, in denen die Tools der Plattformen neue Schreibweisen hervorbringen. Und wieder Bedeutung gewonnen hat jene Tradition, die man genuin digitale Literatur nennen kann und die nicht nur nebenbei und instrumentell digitale Technik verwendet, sondern ihre Werke ganz wesentlich durch Computer, Algorithmen oder neuronale Netze produziert. Der Sonderband schreibt die erste Bestandsaufnahme digitaler Literatur in TEXT+KRITIK aus dem Jahr 2001 fort und hebt die Differenzen und Kontinuitäten hervor, die sich in diesem Feld seitdem ergeben haben. Als Diskussion des State of the Art in technischer wie literarischer Hinsicht ist er eine Momentaufnahme einer im Umbruch befindlichen Literatur.

Garden, Alison. The Literary Afterlives of Roger Casement, 1899-2016. Liverpool University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781789621815.001.0001.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This groundbreaking study explores the literary afterlives of Ireland’s most enigmatic, shape-shifting and controversial son: Roger Casement. A seminal human rights activist, a key figure in the struggle for Irish independence, a traitor to British imperialism and an enthusiastic recorder of a sexual life lived in the shadows, Casement has endured as a symbol of ambivalence and multiplicity. Casement can be found in the most curious of places: from the imperial horrors of Heart of Darkness (1899) to the gay club culture of 1980s London in Alan Hollinghurst’s The Swimming-Pool Library (1998); from George Bernard Shaw’s play Saint Joan (1923) to a love affair between spies in Elizabeth Bowen’s The Heat of the Day (1948); from the post-Easter Rising elegies of Eva Gore-Booth and Alice Milligan to the beguiling, opaque poetry of Medbh McGuckian. Drawing upon a variety of literary and cultural texts, alongside significant archival research, this book establishes dialogues between modernist and contemporary works to argue that Casement’s ghost animates issues of historical pertinence and pressing contemporary relevance. It positions Casement as a vital and fascinating figure in the compromised and contradictory terrain of Anglo-Irish history.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Nach den Olympischen Winterspielen 2014 wurde auf Initiative des Fachbereichs Ausdauer am Institut für Angewandte Trainingswissenschaft (IAT) eine intensive Diskussion mit Trainern und Leistungssportverantwortlichen der Ausdauersportarten zu nationalen und internationalen Entwicklungstendenzen sowie möglichen Ursachen für Leistungseinbußen deutscher Athletinnen und Athleten in Gang gesetzt. Untermauert durch die Weltstandsanalysen des IAT in Auswertung von Rio 2016, konnten inhaltliche Schwerpunkte in den Bereichen Trainings- und Wettkampfsysteme, Leistungsdiagnostik und optimale Gestaltung der Umfeldbedingungen gesetzt werden. Im einleitenden, übergreifenden Artikel werden theoretische Standpunkte, die Positionen des IAT und aktuelle sportpraktische Lösungen zu ausgewählten Problemen vorgestellt. Zudem wurde die Anregung des ehemaligen Direktors des IAT, Prof. Arndt Pfützner, anlässlich des 2015 veranstalteten Symposiums "Angewandte Trainingswissenschaft im Forschungs- und Serviceverbund Leistungssport" zur tiefgründigen Analyse einer Vielzahl von trainings-, wettkampf- und leistungsdiagnostischen Daten aufgegriffen. Die daraus gewonnenen neuen Erkenntnisse finden sich in sportartspezifischen Beiträgen in diesem Heft. Sowohl die inhaltliche Diskussion als auch die praktische Umsetzung sind ein laufender Prozess, der u. a. durch die Bereitstellung vorhandenen Wissens zu den aufgeworfenen Fragen in einer vom IAT eingerichteten und ständig aktualisierten Literaturdatenbank unterstützt wird.

Texte intégralRésumé :
We leven in een tijdperk van meningen. Op sociale media, in talkshows op tv en in talloze vlogs en blogs buitelen de meningen over elkaar heen. Iedereen lijkt overal iets van te vinden, en ook te móeten vinden. We staan met ons allen bloot aan een stortvloed van besmettelijke opinitis, die we overigens ook met ons allen veroorzaken. Veel meningen zijn aangepraat en er wordt veel nagepraat, beïnvloed door de bubbel waartoe men behoort of door publieke figuren en influencers die hun mening zó overtuigend presenteren dat grote groepen hun mening voor waar aannemen. De filosofie maakt al sinds de oudheid onderscheid tussen ‘meningen’, die schijnkennis vertegenwoordigen, en ‘waarheid’ op basis van kennis die voortkomt uit denken. Zelfstandig oordelen betekent in de eerste plaats onafhankelijk oordelen; onafhankelijk van meningen, drogbeelden en sentimenten. De bijdragen in deze bundel verkennen hoe onafhankelijk oordelen tot stand komt. Hoe kunnen we zélf oordelen over waarheid en geloofwaardigheid? Welke rol spelen anderen daarbij? Nabije anderen, maar ook bubbel-overstijgende inspirerende denkers, historische of fictionele figuren, die uitnodigen tot nieuwe interpretaties en ideeën. En hoe krijgt een oordeel gezag? Is dat door imiterende herhaling, door het volume van de spreker, door slaafse volgzaamheid? Of door eigen, zelfstandige interpretatie? In Opinitis gaan filosofen, theologen, cultuurhistorici en publicisten in op bovenstaande vragen. Zij onderzoeken vanuit verschillende invalshoeken hoe onze oordelen tot stand komen, hoe we ons verhouden tot de macht van de media en de invloed van de meerderheid, en hoe we aan onze eigen bubbel kunnen ontsnappen.

Gaur, Manoj Kumar, Brian Norton et Gopal Tiwari, dir. Solar Thermal Systems : Thermal Analysis and its Application. BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBLISHERS, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.2174/97898150509501220101.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This book encapsulates current information about the science behind solar energy and the solar thermal systems available to meet domestic needs. Several scholars have contributed to the chapters in the text in an effort to distill research-oriented topics for learners. The book starts with an explainer on the fundamentals of thermodynamics, heat transfer and solar energy in the first 2 chapters. The basics of some solar thermal devices along with their thermal modeling are covered in the next few chapters, along with solar distillation systems. This is followed by information about the design, development and applications of solar cookers along with their thermal modeling. Thermal modeling of semi-transparent PVT systems and their applications are discussed in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 covers the development in solar photovoltaic technology. Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 discusses thermal modeling of greenhouse solar dryers and presents a case study on a hybrid active greenhouse solar dryer. Chapter 13 covers the thermal analysis of photovoltaic thermal (PVT) air heaters employing thermoelectric modules (TEM). The applications of various solar systems in building sectors and the development in this field are covered in Chapter 14. Chapter 15 deals with energy and environ- economics analysis of bio-gas integrated semi-transparent photo-voltaic thermal (Bi-iSPVT) systems for Indian climates. The book has a broad scope and is intended as a resource for students, researchers and teachers in universities, industries, and national and commercial laboratories to help learn the fundamentals and in-depth knowledge of thermal modeling and recent developments in solar heating systems.

McElroy, Michael B. Energy and Climate. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190490331.001.0001.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The climate of our planet is changing at a rate unprecedented in recent human history. The energy absorbed from the sun exceeds what is returned to space. The planet as a whole is gaining energy. The heat content of the ocean is increasing; the surface and atmosphere are warming; mid-latitude glaciers are melting; sea level is rising. The Arctic Ocean is losing its ice cover. None of these assertions are based on theory but on hard scientific fact. Given the science-heavy nature of climate change, debates and discussions have not played as big a role in the public sphere as they should, and instead are relegated to often misinformed political discussions and inaccessible scientific conferences. Michael B. McElroy, an eminent Harvard scholar of environmental studies, combines both his research chops and pedagogical expertise to present a book that will appeal to the lay reader but still be grounded in scientific fact. In Energy and Climate: Vision for the Future, McElroy provides a broad and comprehensive introduction to the issue of energy and climate change intended to be accessible for the general reader. The book includes chapters on energy basics, a discussion of the contemporary energy systems of the US and China, and two chapters that engage the debate regarding climate change. The perspective is global but with a specific focus on the US and China recognizing the critical role these countries must play in addressing the challenge of global climate change. The book concludes with a discussion of initiatives now underway to at least reduce the rate of increase of greenhouse gas emissions, together with a vision for a low carbon energy future that could in principle minimize the long-term impact of energy systems on global climate.
