Synopsis
The fourth edition of the acknowledged leading book on solar engineering, this volume presents the basics of solar energy, then goes on to cover the technologies used to harvest this solar energy, store it, and deliver it, including photovoltaics, solar heaters, and cells., The updated fourth edition of the "bible" of solar energytheory and applications Over several editions, Solar Engineering of ThermalProcesses has become a classic solar engineering text andreference. This revised Fourth Edition offers currentcoverage of solar energy theory, systems design, and applicationsin different market sectors along with an emphasis on solar systemdesign and analysis using simulations to help readers translatetheory into practice. An important resource for students of solar engineering, solarenergy, and alternative energy as well as professionals working inthe power and energy industry or related fields, SolarEngineering of Thermal Processes , Fourth Edition features: Increased coverage of leading-edge topics such as photovoltaicsand the design of solar cells and heaters A brand-new chapter on applying CombiSys (a readymade TRNSYSsimulation program available for free download) to simulate a solarheated house with solar- heated domestic hot water Additional simulation problems available through a companionwebsite An extensive array of homework problems and exercises, The updated fourth edition of the "bible" of solar energy theory and applications Over several editions, Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes has become a classic solar engineering text and reference.
