| Review: | This large book provides information, guidance, and techniques to enable the reader to achieve better economic returns by optimising the energy resources. The book is divided into four parts. The first gives the basic theory behind heat and power thermodynamics and describes some of the technology involved. The second part looks at the environment in which these technologies are operating, at air pollution and the gas and electricity industries, in particular. Part 3 looks at different applications of electric generators and electric motors and prime mover drivers, as well as at refrigeration and air-conditioning applications. The last part of the book has an integrated approach to energy resource optimisation projects and discusses project development, implementation and operation in the light of the information that has been given in the first three parts of the book. |
