“This handbook gives us the most thorough review of the state of art of nuclear hydrogen, which could be used not only for scientific and technological communities, but also for the potential users to assess its reality.” —Dr. Toru Ogawa, Japan Atomic Energy Agency
A comprehensive review of the current state and future prospects of nuclear hydrogen production, this volume offers substantial scholarly analyses, industrial data, and extensive references. It discusses research sponsored by Japan, the U.S., Korea, China, France, and the EU. Coverage includes all major nuclear reactors and associated hydrogen processes, including nuclear hydrogen production methods and systems. Features: • Addresses the wide-ranging economic role of hydrogen and approaches for using nuclear energy to produce it with little or no fossil feedstock • Discusses development of practical nuclear production systems that incorporate presented methods in reactor systems • Covers relevant applied science and technology, presenting substantial analyses and data on the state of the art of nuclear hydrogen production • Explores worldwide development and commercialization programs for nuclear-reactor and associated hydrogen production systems • Elaborates on the properties of the substances involved in hydrogen production

Jochen Bundschuh and Jan Hoinkis This book provides an overview of possible costefficient techniques and application opportunities for different scales. It shows why the implementation of these technologies faces numerous technological, economic, and policy barriers. It also offers suggestions on how these hurdles can be overcome. Contributors discuss costs of novel treatment units using renewable energy sources. They compare these costs with those of other technologies for clean water production, considering external expenses, such as environmental and social ones, which are caused by using fossil fuel-based technologies. The book highlights energy efficiency, which is especially important in systems that are to be powered by renewable energy. Moreover applications of water supply systems providing water in emergency condition are discussed. Catalog no. K14418, June 2012, 286 pp. ISBN: 978-0-415-62089-5, $119.95 / £76.99 Also available as eBook
Wind Turbine Technology A.R. Jha, Ph.D. “The book is well organized and emphasizes both theoretical and practical aspects of wind machines. Mathematical equations are provided for important turbine design parameters. I strongly recommend this book to a broad audience including students, design engineers, research scientists, project managers, environmental scientists, and renewal energy source planners. ... Dr. A. R. Jha, presents a comprehensive guide to wind turbine technology and the technical considerations for designing wind turbines for various applications.” —Shobha Singh, Ph.D., Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, AT&T Bell Laboratories (Retired), and Fellow and Laboratory Director of the Polaroid Corporation (Retired)
