Sommario/riassunto |
|
Focusing on today's major fuel resources - ethanol, biodiesel, wood, natural gas, petroleum products and coal - this book discusses the formation, composition and properties of the fuels, and the ways in which they are processed for commercial use. It examines the origin of fuels through natural processes such as photosynthesis and the geological transformation of ancient plant material; the relationships between their composition, molecular structures and physical properties; and the various processes by which they are converted or refined into the fuel products appearing on today's market. Fundamental chemical aspects such as catalysis and the behaviour of reactive intermediates are presented and global warming and anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are also discussed. The book is ideal for graduate students in energy engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and chemistry, as well as professional scientists and engineers. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Avec l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique et l'accession à l'indépendance des cinq républiques situées dans la région, l'Asie centrale a réintégré la scène internationale en tant que catégorie spatiale autonome. Le retour de ce que Mackinder avait naguère baptisé « le pivot géographique de l'histoire » constitue sans doute un des événements majeurs de la vie internationale de la dernière décennie du vingtième siècle. Ce fait a entraîné une transformation géopolitique dont l'importance dépasse largement les limites territoriales des ex-républiques soviétiques. Que ce soit par rapport au Moyen-Orient, au continent asiatique, à l'Eurasie et bien entendu à la Russie elle-même, de nouvelles dynamiques sont apparues dont les conséquences deviendront de plus en plus perceptibles à mesure qu'on avancera dans le nouveau siècle. La première édition de Géopolitique de la nouvelle Asie centrale est parue en mars 2001. Quelques mois plus tard, alors qu'une deuxième édition était sous presse, les attentats du 11 septembre ont eu lieu à New York et Washington. L'intervention |

américaine en Afghanistan et la chute du régime des talibans ont profondément modifié la donne géopolitique en Asie centrale. En quelques semaines, cette région, qui jusqu'alors suscitait surtout la convoitise pour ses ressources en hydrocarbures, est devenue le premier front de la lutte antiterroriste lancée par les États-Unis. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage ne pouvaient évidemment faire l'impasse sur ces bouleversements. |
