Solar energy's vital role in the world's future is well served by this outstanding
"Solar Energy Dictionary" and landmark reference source by V. Daniel Hunt. Much
more than a dictionary, it provides -- for energy specialist and layman alike
-- a thorough, up-to-date, survey and basic guide to the solar and renewable energy
field. The useful introductory chapters discuss data to consider before "going
solar," the various solar heating systems, and the use of solar renewable energy
to produce electricity and fuels. Description
The definitions that follow--over 3500 in all--cover everything from absorber
plates and solar azimuth to unglazed solar collectors and zone heat. The definitions
encompass processes, products and renewable solar technologies including:
- Passive solar
- Active solar
- Photovoltaic energy conversion
- Fuels from biomass
- Alcohol fuels
- Wind-energy conversion
- Solar-thermal energy
- Ocean energy
- Hydroelectric power
- Space-satellite power systems.
Coverage also includes energy
conservation terms, environmental terms, and heating/air conditioning/ventilating
terms relevant to solar systems. Over 200 charts, graphs, diagrams and photographs
enhance the reader's understanding of the definitions and concepts presented.
Benefits
Written in a concise, clearly understandable style, this complete,
one-stop information source gives the renewable solar energy engineer as well
as the conservationist, and student -- reliable, expert data on all solar renewable
energy and solar-related topics. Table
