Description
Dieses klar strukturierte und reich illustrierte Lehrbuch für Studenten der Physik, Biowissenschaften und Ingenieurwissenschaften ist eine Einführung in die Grundlagen der Energietechnik - von der Energieerzeugung über konventionelle und alternative Technologien bis hin zu Lösungen für eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung in der Zukunft.
Using an intelligible language and a clear structure for fast learning and self-study, this illustrative textbook contains a wealth of figures printed in full color throughout to enhance the reading experience.
Starting with the basics about the earth's energy system, the scale of the human energy challenge and a section on thermodynamics and electricity, the book goes on to explain conventional and renewable energy technologies in detail. Chapters on energy generation are followed by a discussion on energy storage and end-use technologies, such as fuel cells and transportation as well as energy use in industry and buildings. A chapter on the advantages and disadvantages of all energy technologies rounds off the book.

Michael J. Aziz
Michael J. Aziz received a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard in 1983. He has been a member of the faculty at what is now the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences since he joined in 1986 and is now Gene and Tracy Sykes Professor of Materials and Energy Technologies. Aziz has made significant contributions to a number of fields in applied physics and materials science. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Materials Research Society. He is the Faculty Coordinator for Harvard's University-Wide Graduate Consortium on Energy and Environment, for which he developed a popular course on Energy Technology for a broad audience. Among his research interests are novel materials and processes for energy technology and greenhouse gas mitigation.
Alexander C. Johnson
Alexander C. Johnson received a Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard in 2005 and was an Environmental Postdoctoral Fellow for the Harvard University Center for the Environment in 2006-2008. In 2008-2009, as a Lecturer on Engineering Sciences he co-developed a popular course on Energy Technology for a broad audience with Michael Aziz. In his short career he has published over a dozen papers in physics, applied physics, materials science, and energy technology, including on thin film solid oxide fuel cells. He is currently a process engineer for Alion, Inc., a startup thin-film photovoltaics company in Richmond, California.
