There continues to be widespread interest in the applications of hydrogen as a clean fuel and its potential for local electricity production and use in transport. Recent years have seen a variety of breakthroughs in our understanding of the nature, structure, and biosynthesis of hydrogenases. This b..

While most resources on hydroprocessing concentrate on gas oil and lower boiling products, this book details the chemistry and the process modifications required for hydroprocessing heavy crude oils and residua. It explains how to obtain maximum yields of high-value hydrocarbon products using curren..

Drawn from the author’s 60 years of field experience, this volume presents valuable information for practicing engineers in industrial gas separation and purification. The book uses SI units in accordance with the international industry and covers such topics as chronological development, industrial..

International maritime transport is the backbone of the world globalized economy. It is a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions but also likely to be affected by wide-ranging and potentially devastating climate change impacts associated with rising sea levels and increased frequency/intens..

This book details state-of-the-art fuel cell systems incorporating methanol reformers as the source of purified hydrogen (rather than compressed hydrogen). Beginning with an overview of PEM fuel cells, the book discusses the various technical approaches to methanol reforming and hydrogen purificatio..

This edited book brings together leading researchers discussing the recent trends and needs in micro and nano-engineering fuel cells, creating new engineering knowledge, and optimizing the system on a micro and nano-scale. The small scales discussed in this book are particularly important, because m..

This truly comprehensive work on the theory and applications of planar transmission lines may well become the "Bible" of the field. It offers purely theoretical readers an understanding of the fundamental physical concepts of devices, while its deep explanation of the formulas allows purely practica..

Contains 69 papers presented at the North Sun conference held in Glasgow from 7-9 September 1994. The contributions include sections on: solar water heating; active solar heating; photovoltaic applications; solar modelling and design tools; solar buildings; and policy and implementation...

A comprehensive review of the current state and future prospects of nuclear hydrogen production, this volume offers substantial scholarly analyses, industrial data, and extensive references. It discusses research sponsored by Japan, the US, Korea, China, France, and the EU. Coverage includes all maj..
