Energy Science

Principles, Technologies, and Impacts

Third Edition

John Andrews and Nick Jelley

Covers the latest technological and conceptual advances in energy science
Specific pedagogical focus given to ensuring mathematical content is accessible to all students, regardless of academic background

New to this Edition:

A new chapter on 'Energy demand in buildings, industry, and transport' ties together the social, economic, and environmental strands of the subject whilst discussing the most cutting edge technological developments
A specific focus has been given to making the mathematical content in the third edition more accessible; a mathematical toolkit has been added to the introductory chapter, more challenging mathematical exercises are clearly sign posted, and non-essential derivations have been moved to the end of chapters so that they can be skipped by those who prefer to concentrate on mastering the fundamentals
New material has been added on 'hot topics' such as fracking and electric vehicles
New case studies from around the world look at real-world applications of energy technology
Open ended discussion questions have been added to case studies to encourage students to reflect on what they have just learnt and apply conceptual knowledge to real-world scenarios
Chapter 10, on electricity and energy storage has been significantly re-worked to include discussion of distributed generation, and energy storage outlook

Description

The only book to successfully integrate social, economic and environmental considerations with an accessible, quantitative approach to energy science.

Energy Science introduces the latest energy technologies, explaining the physical principles underlying technology and discussing their environmental, economic, and social impacts. Covering fossil fuels, renewable, and nuclear energy, the text enables students to evaluate the key sources of energy available, and introduces potential solutions to the energy problems facing us today.

A core text in the field, Energy Science is full of topical case studies and examples using current data to highlight the practical application of relevant theory.Discussion questions throughout the text encourage the development of deep critical thinking skills, ensuring that students are properly equipped to approach the energy challenges that lie ahead.

Energy Science is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre which features:

For Students:
-Auto-marked multiple choice questions to accompany each chapter
-Curated links to online sources of further information

For Lecturers:
-Figures from the book: available to download for use in lectures
-A solutions manual for end-of-chapter questions
-A complete set of customizable PowerPoint slides to use as the basis for lectures, or as hand-outs in class

The switch to electric cars

Much has been written about autonomous, driverless vehicles. Though they will undoubtedly have a huge impact as artificial intelligence (AI) develops, the shift to electric cars is equally important, and will have all sorts of consequences for the United Kingdom. The carbon dioxide emissions from petrol and diesel cars account for about 10% of the global energy-related CO2 emissions
