Direct Energy Conversion Technologies

This book is designed for students and professionals who specialize in energytechnologies and power plant engineering. It covers the mathematics andphysics of both current conversion, such as solar cells, fuel cells, MHD,thermoelectric, and thermionic power generation, but also discusses emergingconversion technologies such as solar thermal, nuclear fusion, andhydrogen energy.

Features:

• Covers both current conversion technologies as well as emerging technologies, such as solar thermal, nuclear fusion, and hydrogen energy
• Written in simple language,illustrated by diagrams, mathematical analysis, and numerical examples
