Energy engineering applied to solar energy: thermal solar energy.

Génie énergétique appliqué au solaire : énergie solaire thermique.

Author(s) : FEIDT M., COSTEA M., PETRE C., et al.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

It turns out that the revival of solar energy is due to environmental constraints (global warming and pollution of all kinds), which is generating renewed interest in solar energy. This book is the result of courses given at the University Henri Poincaré in Nancy and at the University "Politehnica" in Bucharest. These courses were given at technician level, at engineer level, or post-graduate research specialization level. The book comprises five main sections: solar energy resources and metrology, forming the basis for all studies and applications; thermal conversion of solar energy; heliothermal selectivity: means of forcing the performances of the solar energy systems aiming generally at obtaining a higher use temperature (but which could also have a cold selectivity). It seems that these higher temperatures could be useful in the food industry (vapour production or solar cooling), and also in residential buildings for solar cooling or air conditioning; heliothermal concentration (the authors deal with the possibilities of a solar Stirling motor to produce electricity); thermal storage. The book is available from the authors.
