The Role of Exergy and Energy in Sustainability

This book examines the intersections of energy, exergy, and environmental subjects spanning a broad spectrum of disciplines. It comprehensively examines methodologies and solutions to enhance energy efficiency by managing processes and adopting clean energy technology. A global group of authors contributes to a substantive exploration of cleaner technologies, encompassing green energy, renewable resources, environmental science, and the emerging e-mobility domain. The book covers advanced topics, including the latest developments in renewable energy technologies and solar power, the complexities of oil and gas technologies, the evolution of smart grids, and the ever-expanding landscape of green and electrified transportation. It provides insights into alternative and clean fuel sources, the promise of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, the role of nuclear energy in sustainability, and the nuances of environmental technologies. Other coverage includes smart cities, sustainable building practices, energy management systems, and advanced desalination techniques. Beyond these technical aspects, the authors address pressing societal and environmental challenges, critically examining life cycle assessment methodologies and technologies designed to reduce CO2 emissions.
The Role of Exergy and Energy in Sustainability is a vital reference for academic and industry researchers in mechanical, environmental, and electrical engineering, thermodynamics, environmental science, economics, and technology management. It thoroughly explores the intricate relationships between energy, exergy, and ecological sustainability and provides a deeper understanding of these critical subjects.
