1977 tritt die Sozialpädagogin Christa Liniger mit Enthusiasmus ihre erste Stelle im Sozialdienst einer ländlich gelegenen psychiatrischen Klinik an. Ihr Freund Marc Bundi arbeitet da bereits seit einem halben Jahr als Assistenzarzt. Beide wollen sie ihre frischen, modernen Ideen zum Umgang mit psychisch Kranken in das ehrwürdige Gemäuer tragen, das vom Klinikleiter Professor Sennhauser noch im alten Geist geführt wird. Doch schnell wird klar,...

Renewable energy refers to the energy that is naturally replenished with time. Some of the sources of renewable energy include sunlight, wind, tides, rain, etc. Adoption of renewable energy has resulted in increased energy security, climate change mitigation and economic benefits. The availability of energy is a major driver of human development. Renewable energy helps in facilitating this even in rural and remote areas of the world. Research ...

This book would appeal to the students, scientists, researchers and professionals who are involved in this genre of science.

This book covers nearly every aspect of biodiesel production and its applications. All facets from the applications of the biodiesel and its by-products are described in the book. This book would appeal to the students, scientists, researchers and professionals who are involved in this genre of science.

This book highlights the latest developments and growing trends in the field of biodiesel production. The chapters deal with biodiesel production methods. It also encompasses issues related to the use of inexpensive inedible raw materials and production of biomass feedstock with properties that may help it to produce biodiesel. Biodiesel is commonly produced by the transesterification process. The several methods for carrying out this techniqu...

This book highlights the latest developments and growing trends in the field of biodiesel production. The beginning few chapters, deal with feedstocks required for the production of biodiesel. It also encompasses issues related to the use of inexpensive inedible raw materials and production of biomass feedstock with properties that may help it to produce biodiesel. Waste vegetable oils, animal fats, algae etc. are some sources of oil to produc...

This book provides a sophisticated and descriptive introduction to biodiesel. It deals with matters related to the quality of biodiesel, efficiency of combustion engines and the products that they discharge. Novel ways to define biodiesel properties are mentioned and how feedstocks, contaminants and production procedures can affect the quality of biodiesel have also been assessed. The performance of combustion engines has been assessed when fu...

Petroleum technology is a discipline that integrates concepts of several fields such as geology, engineering and geophysics, it primarily covers exploration and extraction of crude oils. However, depletion of conventional fuel sources and their extensive use has resulted into deterioration of environment and increased demand for exploration and consumption of alternative fuels. This book traces the availability of alternate fuels and highlight...

This book explores all the important aspects of fuel resources and energy production while considering their environmental impacts. Some of the vital concepts related to this field are discussed in detail such as characteristics of fuels, alternative energy resources, negative impacts of fuel consumption on environment, energy conversion and recycling, global warming, etc. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies i...

This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of sustainable energy systems and technology. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. Sustainable energy refers to the form of energy which can be used without causing harm to nature. The objective of sustainable energy systems is to find efficient ways to use resources so that they fulfill the need of the present generation while being availa...

This book discusses the fundamental as well as modern approaches and technologies related to the fields of renewable energy and biofuels. Renewable energy sources can be replenished in a given time frame and have the potential of replacing pollution causing fuels such as fossil fuels. Biofuels are derived from plants and other resources such as commercial, agricultural and domestic waste through biological processing using bacteria for anaerob...
