Description & Coverage
Description:

The management of the thermal energy produced and consumed in various practical applications appeared as a result of the technologies' continuous development, the measurement possibilities, the analysis and interpretation of the results, as well as the possibilities of quick action on non-compliant elements. The main functions of thermal energy management are to detect, control, program, analyse and act to ensure economic operation, with increased safety of technical equipment and user safety. Current studies and researches focus on priority issues regarding a new orientation toward thermal energy management: - to existing practical applications - decreasing energy consumption and conventional fossil fuels used for thermal energy generation by implementing technical and economic measures; - to new practical applications - the adoption of measures aimed at saving energy while increasing the degree of alternative energy resources use, increasing safety in operation, and decreasing the degree of environmental pollution.

This book will address current topics from a scientific, technological, but also socio-economic and environmental point of view regarding thermal energy management: energy sources and resources, nature of energy consumed, energy consumption in various practical applications (buildings, vehicles, industrial machines, technological processes, etc.), energy balances, solutions regarding energy consumption, technologies for management and efficiency of energy consumption, thermal energy management technologies, advanced components, materials and equipment that contribute to energy efficiency, etc. This book targets advanced-level students, researchers, specialists, and practitioners in areas of interest: thermal management, energy efficiency, sustainable industrial processes, nearly zero energy building, green alternative energy resources, clean alternative fuels, sustainable thermal machines and equipment, chemistry, physics, mechanics, machine construction and plant engineering, automotive engineering, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, process and materials engineering and anyone interested in new clean energy technologies, ecological energy generation systems or advanced thermal management. Other stakeholders who are interested in specific associated technologies or thermal energy efficiency measures will also find this book very useful in their research. Also, this book aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners, both from academia and industry, to present their latest research results and state-of-the-art methodologies that address top concerns and to establish cooperative research and development at worldwide.

Editor/Author Biographies

Dr. Raluca-Andreea Felseghi is Scientific Researcher. The main research direction was the concern related to the implementation of hydrogen fuel cell technologies in practical applications. She is currently involved in teaching activities at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Department of Mechanical Engineering - Faculty of Automotive, Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering. At "Ştefan cel Mare" University of Suceava, Romania, she was a member of the research team in a project that aimed to integrate hydrogen energy into the electricity supply systems of electric vehicle charging stations (SMiLE-EV). Her main fields of interest are energy efficiency of buildings, stationary application of renewable energies, fuel cell hydrogen technology, hybrid power generation systems, impact of alternative energies on the environment. She is president of the Scientific, Innovation and Technical Education Commission and member of the Romanian Association of Building Services Engineering - Transylvania Branch, a member of the Romanian Association for Hydrogen Energy and a member of Women in Green Hydrogen community (https://women-in-green-hydrogen.net/raluca-andreea-felseghi/).
