About this title

Synopsis

Many of the newest developments in solar energy science and technology are covered in this Second Edition. There is a thorough up–to–date review of solar energy principles and the functioning, design and economics of solar thermal processes. Convection and radiation, properties of materials, components, systems and applications to active space and water heating are discussed. Includes examples and problems of tabulated radiation data and conversion factors.

From the Back Cover

The updated, cornerstone engineering resource of solar energy theory and applicationsSolar technologies already provide energy for heat, light, hot water, electricity, and cooling for homes, businesses, and industry. Because solar energy only accounts for one–tenth of a percent of primary energy demand, relatively small increases in market penetration can lead to very rapid growth rates in the industry which is exactly what has been projected for coming years as the world moves away from carbon–based energy production. Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes, Third Edition provides the latest thinking and practices for engineering solar technologies and using them in various markets.

This Third Edition of the acknowledged leading book on solar engineering features:

• Complete coverage of basic theory, systems design, and applications
• Updated material on such cutting–edge topics as photovoltaics and wind power systems
• New homework problems and exercises
