What is literacy?Some final thoughtsIndex; Back CoverWith the growth of modern information technology, it is time to re-examine the concept and purpose of writing, and question the long cherished idea that the alphabet stands at the apex of a hierarchy towards which all 'proper' forms of writing must necessarily progress. This beautifully illustrated book shows that the primary purpose of writing is the ability to store and transmit information, information essential to the social, economical and political survival of a particular group.

AdamsBasel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (496 p.)9783039215188 3039215183 Energy Systems Engineering is one of the most exciting and fastest growing fields in engineering. Modeling and simulation plays a key role in Energy Systems Engineering because it is the primary basis on which energy system design, control, optimization, and analysis are based. This book contains a specially curated collection of recent research articles on the modeling and simulation of energy systems written by top experts around the world from universities and research labs, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, National Energy Technology Laboratory of the US Department of Energy, University of Technology Sydney, McMaster University, Queens University, Purdue University, the University of Connecticut, Technical University of Denmark, the University of Toronto, Technische Universität Berlin, Texas A&M, the University of Pennsylvania, and many more. The key research themes covered include energy systems design, control systems, flexible operations, operational strategies, and systems analysis. The addressed areas of application include electric power generation, refrigeration cycles, natural gas liquefaction, shale gas treatment, concentrated solar power, waste-to-energy systems, micro-gas turbines, carbon dioxide capture systems, energy storage, petroleum refinery unit operations, Brayton cycles, to name but a few.FCMPmodeling and simulationmultiphase equilibriummodelingpolymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)dynamic simulationsimulationmulti-scale systems engineeringprocess simulationcyclingtime-delayexergy lossgas path analysisoil and gassolar PVoptimizationsecond law efficiencyauto thermal reformerfriction factoroptimal battery operationbiodieselenergytime-varying operationefficiencyprocess synthesis and designnonsmooth modelingmixture ratiosupercritical CO2dynamic optimizationtechnoeconomic analysiswork and heat integrationcompressibility factormulti-objective optimisationcirculating fluidized bed boilerwind powernaphtha recovery unitcost optimizationrecompression cyclehybrid Life Cycle Assessmentpost-combustion CO2 capturepiecewise-linear function generationsolar energyindustrial process heatkrigingstatistical modelsupercritical pulverized coal (SCPC)parabolic troughcombined cycleH2O-LiBr working pairlinearizationprocess integrationsmith predictorprocess designanalysis by synthesisMINLPmethyl-oleatediagnosticsoffshore winddouble-effect systemshale gas condensategeothermal energymulti-loop controlR123waste to energyhybrid systemcogenerationenergy storageenergy efficiencynonlinear mathematical programmingsuperstructureconcentrating solar thermaldesalinationmodellingbinary cycleorganic Rankine cyclerefuse derived fuelpower plantsWHENSprocess controlcompressor modelingenergy systemsPTClife cycle analysisnatural gas transportationisentropic exponenttop-down modelsthermal storagesupercritical carbon dioxideoperationssustainable process designhybrid solarenergy managementR245fabuilding blocksenergy economicsmicro gas turbineCSPfuel cost minimization problemCSTpalladium membrane hydrogen separationbattery degradationoptimal controlRK-ASPENprocess systems engineeringsupervisory controlabsorption refrigerationconcentrating solar powershale gas condensate-to-heavier liquidsDiengDMR liquefaction processesdynamic modelingOrganic Rankine Cycle (ORC)load-followingdemand responseIndonesiaAdams Thomas A1787399ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367747603321Modeling and Simulation of Energy Systems4320820UNINA
