Summary
The updated fourth edition of the "bible" of solar energytheory and applications
Over several editions, Solar Engineering of ThermalProcesses has become a classic solar engineering text andreference. This revised Fourth Edition offers currentcoverage of solar energy theory, systems design, and applicationsin different market sectors along with an emphasis on solar systemdesign and analysis using simulations to help readers translatetheory into practice.
An important resource for students of solar engineering, solarenergy, and alternative energy as well as professionals working inthe power and energy industry or related fields, SolarEngineering of Thermal Processes , Fourth Edition features:
Increased coverage of leading-edge topics such as photovoltaicsand the design of solar cells and heaters A brand-new chapter on applying CombiSys (a readymade TRNSYSsimulation program available for free download) to simulate a solarheated house with solar- heated domestic hot water Additional simulation problems available through a companionwebsite An extensive array of homework problems and exercisesAuthor Notes
A leading authority on solar-heat collector technology, John A. Duffie is professor emeritus in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin and is a fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He has published more than 60 research papers, contributed to many symposia on solar systems, and is a former president of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES). He is co-author of several widely used books on solar heat systems and thermal engineering and has been editor-in-chief of the respected Journal of Solar Energy since 1985.
In 1948, Duffie received an M.A. in chemical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1951. In 1977, he visited Australia as a Fulbright-Hayes Scholar.
In 1983, Duffie's Solar Energy Laboratory, at the University of Wisconsin, received the first Achievement through Action Award from ISES, and in 1987, ISES awarded Duffie the Farrington Daniels Award.
