{"product_id":"concentrating-solar-thermal-energy-gilles-flamant-9781789450798","title":"Concentrating Solar Thermal Energy: Fundamentals and Applications","description":"The Sun, our star, has inspired the research of many scientists and engineers and brings hope to many of us for a paradigm shift in energy. Indeed, the applications of solar energy are manifold, primarily because it concerns both light and heat. Photovoltaic (PV) conversion is the most well-known among these, but other modes of conversion include photochemical, photobiological, photoelectrochemical, thermal and thermochemical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book covers the entire chain of conversion from the Sun to the targeted energy vector (heat, electricity, gaseous or liquid fuels). Beginning with the state of the art, subsequent chapters address solar resources, concentration and capture technologies, the science of flows and transfers in solar receivers, materials with controlled optical properties, thermal storage, hybrid systems (PV-thermal) and synthetic fuels (hydrogen and synthetic gas).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by a number of experts in the field, Concentrating Solar Thermal Energy provides an insightful overview of the current landscape of the knowledge regarding the most recent applications of concentrating technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilles Flamant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789450799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789450798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Iste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Gilles Flamant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078231814399,"sku":"9781789450798","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f683577d-4a95-48c1-8bb9-d88099db1068.jpg?v=1685474301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/concentrating-solar-thermal-energy-gilles-flamant-9781789450798","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
