Ignoring physics, thermodynamics, and technical diversity, monopolistic, universal solutions are decreed: automobile drives exclusively electric, reverse-running, air-sucking "household refrigerators" as heaters, electricity for the large and small, highly diverse industry solely from wind turbines and solar panels, even though their contribution has remained nearly negligible for decades. This book demystifies such dangerous climate myths based on understandable principles from physics and thermodynamics. Wind and sun are good, but by far not enough. The book describes diverse, climate-friendly fuels from plant residues, algae, used oils, and fats. It discusses "green" hydrogen as a storage or intermediate storage medium. It also describes surprising, unexpected energy scenarios that arise from the interconnection of conventional thermal machines: a jet engine combined with a steam power plant, a tank with a diesel engine as a mobile heating and power plant? The author Professor Cornel Stan studied aerospace engineering. He teaches in many Universities worldwide on energy conversion and application in technical systems, as well as on alternative propulsion systems for automobiles. His research areas include thermodynamic processes, combustion, alternative propulsion, biofuels, energy management. Cornel Stan is the author of numerous books and scientific papers, published in several languages. Professor Stan is Fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International). 0aThermodynamics.966400 0aHeat engineering.966401 0aHeat transfer.966402 0aMass transfer.966403 0aRenewable energy sources.958133 0aTransportation engineering.965686 0aTraffic engineering.96568714aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.96640524aRenewable Energy.96420624aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering.9656912 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978366269686608iPrinted edition:z978366269688040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-69687-3  aZDB-2-ENG  aZDB-2-SXE  c62145d62145
