Low-Temperature Energy Systems with Applications of Renewable Energy explores a wide variety of low-temperature energy applications in residential, commercial, institutional and industrial areas. Addressing the basic principles that form the basis for more efficient energy conversion processes and detailed practical methods for carrying out these critical processes, this book takes into account new directions in the engineering use of technical thermodynamics and energy, including more in-depth studies on the use of renewable sources. In addition, the book includes worked numerical examples, review questions and practice problems to allow readers to test their own comprehension of the material.
With detailed explanations, methods, models and algorithms included, this book is ideal for all engineers and energy researchers.
- Sets out methods for a large variety of applications to improve their energy operation
- Includes end-of chapter review sections with questions and problems
- Covers numerical examples, review questions and practice problems that allow readers to test their own comprehension of the material

"Low-Temperature Energy Systems with Applications of Renewable Energy is a new and useful book published by Academic Press (an imprint of Elsevier), written by a trio of geothermal experts and champions: Drs. Andriy Redko, Oleksandr Redko, and Ronald DiPippo. After reading the excellent summaries ending all nine chapters, I had new respect for the flexibility of geothermal systems and two questions: who decides what low and high mean in an energy project and what is a low-temperature energy system?" --Susan Fox Hodgson, Geothermal Resources Council Bulletin, Vol 49, No.1
