  • Feeding the Fire

    The Lost History and Uncertain Future of Mankind's Energy Addiction

    de Mark Eberhart ...
    From the first spark created by human hands thousands of years ago, mankind has grown dependent on nature’s vast stores of energy to build, explore, and experiment. Our expanding knowledge and technologies have come from the felling of forests to the harnessing of wind and water, from the burning of coal and oil to tapping the energy of the atom. Energy does more than heat our homes and fill our ... Leer más

  • A Cubic Mile of Oil

    Realities and Options for Averting the Looming Global Energy Crisis

    de Hewitt Crane, Edwin Kinderman, Ripudaman Malhotra ...
    One cubic mile of oil (CMO) corresponds very closely to the world's current total annual consumption of crude oil. The world's total annual energy consumption - from all energy sources- is currently 3.0 CMO. By the middle of this century the world will need between 6 and 9 CMO of energy per year to provide for its citizens. Adequate energy is needed remove the scourge of poverty and provide food, ...

  • Quantum Physics in Minutes

    de Gemma Lavender ...
    Quantum physics is the most fundamental -- but also the most baffling -- branch of science. Allowing for dead-and-alive cats, teleportation, antimatter, and parallel universes, as well as underpinning all of our digital technology, it's as important as it is mind-bending. This clear and compact book demystifies the strange and beautiful quantum world, and hence the nature of reality itself ... Leer más

  • Quantum Physics: A First Encounter : Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    Interference, Entanglement, and Reality

    de Valerio Scarani ; Rachael Thew ...
    Quantum physics is often perceived as a weird and abstract theory, which physicists must use in order to make correct predictions. But many recent experiments have shown that the weirdness of the theory simply mirrors the weirdness of phenomena: it is Nature itself, and not only our description of it, that behaves in an astonishing way. This book selects those, among these typical quantum ... Leer más

  • Weather Modeling and Forecasting of PV Systems Operation

    de Marius Paulescu, Eugenia Paulescu, Paul Gravila, Viorel Badescu ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    In the past decade, there has been a substantial increase of grid-feeding photovoltaic applications, thus raising the importance of solar electricity in the energy mix. This trend is expected to continue and may even increase. Apart from the high initial investment cost, the fluctuating nature of the solar resource raises particular insertion problems in electrical networks. Proper grid managing ... Leer más
