The first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, and all common energy uses.\n\u201CThere's no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.\u201D\n\u2014Bill Gates\nIn this book, Vaclav Smil argues that power density is a key determinant of the nature and dynamics of energy systems. Any understanding of complex energy systems must rely on quantitative measures of many fundamental variables. Power density\u2014the rate of energy flux per unit of area\u2014is an important but largely overlooked measure. Smil provides the first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of the power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, thermal electricity generation, and all\n\nPower Density\nA Key to Understanding Energy Sources and Uses\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Ma;
