The book includes subjects such as: Energy-related environmental problemsSolar collectorsSolar water heating, space heating and coolingIndustrial process heatSolar desalinationPhotovoltaicsSolar thermal power systems The book also covers modeling of solar energy systems, including the use of artificial intelligence in modeling and performance prediction. With the threat of global warming and the gradual depletion of petroleum supplies, solar electric power is rapidly becoming a significant part of our energy mix. This book will be a valuable resource for mechanical, electrical and chemical engineers as well as academics, energy consulting companies, and solar energy companies. Environmental consequences of solar energySolar desalination including indirect systemsModeling and performance prediction of solar energy systemsWorked examples and case studies. 000717333 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000717333 650_0 $$aSolar energy. 000717333 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKalogirou, Soteris A.$$tSolar energy engineering.$$bSecond edition.$$dAmsterdam : Academic Press: Elsevier, 2014$$z9780123972705$$w(DLC) 2014415847$$w(OCoLC)861647197 000717333 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000717333 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1517436$$zOnline Access 000717333 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:717333$$pGLOBAL_SET 000717333 980__ $$aEBOOK 000717333 980__ $$aBIB 000717333 982__ $$aEbook 000717333 983__ $$aOnline
