Each chapter contains thorough analyses into alternative energy generation, focussing on the physical principles, commonalities and complementary features, in addition to basic thermodynamic considerations, of energy sources and techniques, including: - Nuclear Power - fission, fusion, plasma heating, magnetic confinement and radiation - Solar Power - fusion in stars, proton-proton cycle and blackbody radiation - Wind Power -- production and efficiency - Water Power -- wave motion - Hydroelectric/geothermal power The Physics of Energy Sources includes well-informed estimates of future global energy requirements and consumption, including efficiency levels of power production, energy transportation and storage relative to the function of time. Important environmental issues are tackled through discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The worked examples, sets of problems and worked solutions act as valuable references for both student and professional"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aManchester physics series. 606 $aPower resources 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aPhysics 615 0$aPower resources. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aPhysics. 676 $a621.310153 686 $a428.8$2njb/09 686 $a621.3101/53$2njb/09 700 $aKing$b George C.$01491548 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796084003321 996 $aPhysics of energy sources$93713380 997 $aUNINA
