Summary
Energy Systems: A Project-Based Approach to Sustainability Thinking for Energy Conversion Systems provides easy-to-read coverage of the fundamentals of energy conversion systems, including energy supply and demand, the science of global warming, interpretations of sustainability, chemical fuels (including hydrogen), carbon capture and storage, internal and external combustion engines, vapor power and refrigeration plants, nuclear power, photovoltaics, fuel cells, solar-heat, wind energy, water energy, and energy storage (including geothermal energy). The book ends with a brief investigation into what we can do to decarbonize the transportation, industry, buildings, and electric power sectors, which together contribute nearly 95% of carbon emissions.
Worked examples and homework problems are presented in an active learning, guided self-study manner. Ten mini-projects give students practice with open-ended questions. Via many reflective questions, the reader is asked to “reimagine our future.” These questions are aligned with characteristics of an entrepreneurial mindset, which are emphasized throughout the book. The book includes interviews with young energy entrepreneurs and engineering students who share their thoughts about energy sustainability.
