Editorial Reviews

A comprehensive analytical picture of the engineering and economic aspects of renewable energy sources. For each type of renewable energy source covered, introduces the basic structural and operational components, as well as its fuel characteristics. The subject matter discussed includes systems based on the conventional fuel-cell, storage battery, and rechargeable redox flow cell, as well as magnetohydrodynamic energy using nonfossil fuel, wind energy, tidal wave energy, geothermal energy, and ocean thermal energy. The economic feasibility of each mode is explored in this technical, mathematical treatment. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
