Summary:

"Energy is critical commodity for every society, and nothing is technically possible without energy. Energy studies are carried out by every discipline, and many academic programs cover energy related courses. During the past decade it has been clear that developing an introductory level undergraduate textbook is badly needed. That has been a kind of motivation to prepare a book about conventional and innovative energy systems and applications and their linkages to the environment and sustainable development with numerous analysis methods, including energy and exergy approaches, illustrative examples and cases studies to provide a solid knowledge source for undergraduate students in engineering programs, potentially ranging from mechanical to chemical and electrical to industrial engineering programs"-- Provided by publisher.
