Heat Energy
"Explore the exciting science of heat energy.
Developed primarily as a core text for graduate students in engineering programs, and as reference for professional engineers, this book maximizes readers’ understanding and shines a light on new horizons for our energy future.
This book offers a valuable and informed systematic treatment of latent heat-based thermal energy storage systems, covering current energy research and important developmental work.
This book covers emerging energy storage technologies and material characterization methods along with various systems and applications in building, power generation systems and thermal management.
Describes what energy is, where it can be found, and how it is used in everyday life.
Introduces heat, discussing its creation and measurement, kinds of heat transfer, and heat capacity, and providing experiments related to it.
This book provides an authoritative overview of this key area. Part one reviews sensible heat storage technologies. Part two covers latent and thermochemical heat storage respectively.
