FUNDAMENTALS OF ENERGY CONVERSION - JACEK MARECKI

"Fundamentals of Energy Conversion" by Jacek Marecki is a fascinating journey through the world of energy and its transformation. Learn the fundamental physical, technical, and economic principles that govern energy transformations. Discover how primary energy is converted into heat, motion, and electricity, powering our world.

• Comprehensive introduction to the world of energy transformations
• Up-to-date data from the World Energy Council and the Institute of Energy
• Analysis of energy resources in the world and in Poland
• Discussion of the impact of energy on the environment
• Fourth edition, updated and expanded
• For students and engineers
• Practical aspects of planning and operating power plants

The author, Jacek Marecki, passionately and precisely presents the principles of energy conversion and transformation, from thermal energy to mechanical and electrical energy. Against the background of global and national energy resources, the transformations of thermal energy, water, and winds are discussed, as well as the impact of conventional and nuclear energy on the environment. The book includes the latest data obtained from the World Energy Council, the Institute of Energy, and the Energy Market Agency, as well as the results of the author's recent research on energy demand in Poland and in the world.

In the book, you will find a detailed discussion of energy conversion processes, starting from thermal energy, through mechanical energy, to electrical energy. The author presents the principles of operation of various types of power plants and combined heat and power plants, and discusses the technologies used to convert renewable energy, such as solar, wind, and water energy. The reader will also learn how to effectively manage energy resources and minimize the negative impact of energy on the environment.

This book is not only a source of knowledge but also an inspiration for further research and exploration in the field of energy. WNT Publishing House recommends this book to both students of electrical engineering at technical universities and engineers involved in the planning, construction, and operation of power plants and combined heat and power plants. It is an indispensable read for anyone who wants to understand the world of energy and its role in our lives.

"Fundamentals of Energy Conversion" is a must-have for every engineer and energy student wishing to deepen their knowledge of energy conversion and transformation processes. The updated edition contains the latest data and research, as well as detailed analyses of energy demand in Poland and in the world.
