Chemical Processes in Renewable Energy Systems

By: Vivek Utgikar

Renewable Energy Technology for Engineers: Principles, Generation, Storage, Economics, and More The future requires substantial growth in renewable energy systems in order to address carbon emissions and climate change, while still improving human life. To meet this challenge, many engineers and other technical professionals need new theoretical and practical knowledge, including greater familiarity with current and emerging renewable technologies. In Chemical Processes in Renewable Energy Systems, Dr. Vivek Utgikar introduces the fundamental principles, transformations, and applications associated with each leading form of renewable energy. Writing for engineering students and practitioners, Utgikar covers solar, biomass, hydro, wind, ocean, and geothermal energy, as well as hybrid systems that integrate generation with storage. He also introduces essential principles of techno-economic analysis, to clarify issues that will continue to inform policy concerning renewable energy systems. Utgikar discusses state-of-the-art, recent developments, as well as enduring scientific and technological principles and transformations, and provides complete references to encourage deeper exploration. The resulting text will help you quickly get up to date and then stay up to date as technological, social, and economic factors evolve. Understand energy's role in society, the limits and risks of fossil sources, and renewable alternatives Compare the leading forms of primary renewable energy and the transformations they make possible Learn how concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) systems improve solar energy utilization Explore complex transformations of biomass energy into electricity, heat, and fuel chemicals Optimize transformations in renewable systems that are primarily mechanical and thermal, such as hydro, wind, ocean, and geothermal Consider engineering issues associated with hybrid systems that combine generation with batteries or other forms of storage Apply principles of techno-economic analysis to renewables to make better policy or business decisions For students, this guide will illuminate both the technical principles and policy perspectives influencing the move to renewables. For practitioners, it offers a refresher and ready reference to implement any renewable energy system, now and in the future.

Fundamental Concepts and Computations in Chemical Engineering

By: Vivek Utgikar

The Breakthrough Introduction to Chemical Engineering for Today’s Students Fundamental Concepts and Computations in Chemical Engineering is well designed for today’s chemical engineering students, offering lucid and logically arranged text that brings together the fundamental knowledge students need to gain confidence and to jumpstart future success. Dr. Vivek Utgikar illuminates the day-to-day roles of chemical engineers in their companies and in the global economy. He clearly explains what students need to learn and why they need to learn it, and presents practical computational exercises that prepare beginning students for more advanced study. Utgikar combines straightforward discussions of essential topics with challenging topics to intrigue more well-prepared students. Drawing on extensive experience teaching beginners, he introduces each new topic in simple, relatable language, and supports them with meaningful example calculations in Microsoft Excel and Mathcad. Throughout, Utgikar presents practical methods for effective problem solving, and explains how to set up and use computation tools to get accurate answers. Designed specifically for students entering chemical engineering programs, this text also serves as a handy, quick reference to the basics for more advanced students, and an up-to-date source of valuable information for educators and professionals. Coverage includes Where chemical engineering fits in the engineering field and overall economy Modern chemical engineering and allied industries and their largest firms How typical chemical engineering job functions build on what undergraduates learn The importance of computations, and the use of modern computational tools How to classify problems based on their mathematical nature Fundamental fluid flow phenomena and computational problems in practical systems Basic principles and computations of material and energy balance Fundamental principles and calculations of thermodynamics and kinetics in chemical engineering How chemical engineering systems and problems integrate and interrelate in the real world Review of commercial process simulation software for complex, large-scale computation

Why Do Indians . . . ?

A Contemporary Perspective on Inscrutable Indian Ways

By: Vivek Vaidya

The world relishes beef. Indians ban it. The world thinks cricket is just a game. For Indians, it is a religion. The world cant comprehend arranged marriage. For Indians, it is still a way of life. Ever wondered why? While interacting with curious non-Indian friends, I had to ponder about it. And the result is five honest humorous semifictional stories that you can relate to.

Hydrogen

Science, Engineering, and Energy Systems

By: Vivek P. Utgikar

The limitations of fossil fuel supply and the need for decarbonization of energy systems presage the dawn of the hydrogen economy. However, realizing this vision will require developing and implementing solutions to engineering and technology challenges in hydrogen production, storage, utilization and distribution. "Hydrogen: Science, Engineering, and Energy Systems" presents a comprehensive overview of these issues. Hydrogen production alternatives are examined and the competing options analyzed on the basis of fundamental scientific principles. Similar discussions are included on other aspects of the hydrogen economy, not only answering questions of "how" and "what", but also explaining the observed phenomena by seeking answers to questions of "why" through an understanding of the basic properties of hydrogen. This discussion is integrated with societal energy needs and demands, to enhance an understanding of the place of hydrogen in energy systems.
