Alternative Energy Technologies: An Introduction with Computer Simulations explores the science and engineering behind a number of emerging alternative energy technologies, including polymer solar cells, algae biofuels, and artificial leaves. It also addresses the environmental need for these technologies. However, unlike its predecessors, this book employs simple computer models implemented within spreadsheet environments to simulate different aspects of the alternative energy technologies and therefore teach the subject matter.
This unique approach:
Provides a dual introduction to alternative energy technologies and computer simulation
Elucidates the fundamental behaviors and complex interactions within the alternative energy systems
Makes computer simulation straightforward and accessible to readers with no prior programming experience
Featuring investigative exercises that deepen understanding and inspire further research, Alternative Energy Technologies: An Introduction with Computer Simulations makes an ideal introductory textbook for undergraduate students and a valuable professional reference for experimental researchers.
Gavin A. Buxton is assistant professor of physics in the Science Department at Robert Morris University, Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA. Previously, he was visiting assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA; postdoctoral research associate at Durham University, UK; and postdoctoral research associate at University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. He holds an M.Sci in engineering physics (hons) and a Ph.D in computational physics from Sheffield Hallam University, UK. His work has been published in numerous prestigious journals and books including Soft Matter, Encyclopedia of Energy Engineering and Technology, Langmuir, and The Journal of Chemical Physics, among others.
