Heat Pipes: Theory, Design and Applications, Seventh Edition, takes a highly practical approach to the design and selection of heat pipes, making it an essential guide for practicing engineers and an ideal text for postgraduate students. The expanded author team consolidate and update the theoretical background included in previous editions, and include new sections on recent developments in manufacturing methods, wick design and additional applications. The book serves as an introduction to the theory, design and application of the range of passive, two-phase, heat-transfer devices known as heat pipes, serving as an essential reference for those seeking a sound understanding of the principles of heat pipe technology. It provides an introduction to the basic principles of operation and design data which would permit the reader to design and fabricate a basic heat pipe. It also provides details of the various more complex configurations and designs currently available to assist in selecting such devices.This new edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest research and technologies and includes four brand new chapters on various types of heat pipe, theoretical principles of heat transfer and fluid mechanics, additive manufacturing and heat pipe heat exchangers.Fully revised with brand new chapters on Additive Manufacturing and Heat ExchangersGuides the reader through the design and fabrication of a heat pipeIncludes detail on more complex configurations and designs available to assist in the election of devices

Sustainable Energy Technology, Business Models, and Policies: Theoretical Peripheries and Practical Implications offers a new outlook on incorporating sustainable energy technologies into business models.

This book begins by conceptualizing a theoretical sustainability framework from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the second part, the findings from several case studies examine criteria for business energy policies including legal implications and technical, market, or business model viability. Finally, the book addresses the technical and economic difficulties for recovering and re-using energy losses within energy-intensive industries, while also proposing practical solutions to overcome challenges and exploit opportunities.

Weaving together the latest information on innovative technology, policies, and business models, Sustainable Energy Technology, Business Models, and Policies: Theoretical Peripheries and Practical Implications presents an interdisciplinary guide to the energy transition.

Provides a comprehensive analysis of business models for sustainable energy use Postulates the current insights of energy policy aimed towards the clean energy transition in the EU and worldwide Incorporates case studies to illustrate the practical implementation of sustainable business models for bespoke energy technologies

Waste Management in the Circular Economy Context explores sustainable waste management within the context of a circular economy through a comprehensive exploration of policies, innovative technologies, and case studies aimed at fostering a greener future.

The role and influence of building services engineers are undergoing rapid change and are pivotal to achieving low-carbon buildings. However, textbooks in the field have tended to remain fairly traditional with a detailed focus on the technicalities of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, often with little wider context. This book addresses that need by embracing a contemporary understanding of the urgent challenge to address climate change, together with practical approaches to energy efficiency and carbon mitigation for mechanical and electrical systems, in a concise manner.The essential conceptual design issues for planning the principal building services systems that influence energy efficiency are examined in detail. These are HVAC and electrical systems. In addition, the following issues are addressed:background issues on climate change, whole-life performance and design collaborationgeneric strategies for energy efficient, low-carbon designhealth and wellbeing and post occupancy evaluationbuilding ventilationair conditioning and HVAC system selectionthermal energy generation and distribution systemslow-energy approaches for thermal controlelectrical systems, data collection, controls and monitoringbuilding thermal load assessmentbuilding electric power load assessmentspace planning and design integration with other disciplines.In order to deliver buildings that help mitigate climate change impacts, a new perspective is required for building services engineers, from the initial conceptual design and throughout the design collaboration with other disciplines. This book provides a contemporary introduction and guide to this new approach, for students and practitioners alike.
