Solar Lighting

Solar Lighting (Ramchandra Pode & Diouf Boucar)

English | 2011 | ISBN: 1447121333 | PDF | 281 Pages | 3.80 MB 

Limited availability of grid-based electricity is a major challenge faced by many developing countries, particularly the rural population.

Fuel-based lighting, such as the kerosene lantern, is widespread in these areas, but it is a poor alternative, contributing to global warming and causing serious health problems. Several developing countries are therefore now encouraging the use of sustainable lighting. Solar Lighting gives an in-depth analysis of energy-efficient light production through the use of solar-powered LED systems. The authors pay particular attention to the interplay between energy transformation and device efficiency. They also discuss diverse aspects of renewable energy, including how an improvement in the efficiency of appliances can reduce the cost of energy. Solar Lighting is written for physicists, environmental experts and lighting engineers. It is also suitable for undergraduate students in the fields of environmental science, electrical engineering and renewable energy.

When people make a call on a cellphone, drive a car, or turn on a computer, few truly appreciate the innovations in material selection, technology, and fabrication that were required to make it all possible. Innovations in Materials Manufacturing, Fabrication, and Environmental Safety explores expected developments in analysis, design, testing, and operations that will be essential to successful, practical, more cost-effective fabrication of products and their components.

Determine how robotics and intelligent machine (RIM) technology can enhance YOUR manufacturing enterprise

From electronics to welding, this book covers manufacturing processes that incorporate intelligent machines into the material processing and fabrication cycle—and it explains how so many innovations are dependent on government funding and research assistance.

With contributions from a panel of experts from industry, government, and academia, this book examines how materials are selected through a process that must account for economic issues and various requirements related to health and environmental safety, energy limitations, and more. It includes examples of existing and developing selection methods—and corresponding fabrication processes—used in the aerospace, industrial, commercial, military, and electronics industries. Some of these processes and fabrication methods include:

friction stir welding

infusion mold technologies

heat treatment processing

plasma brazing

diffusion and adhesive bonding

laser processes

This book breaks down each process, covering everything from testing background, why and where a method is being used, applications, potential to replace existing processes, and environmental and safety concerns. This information enables engineers/specialists to select the best process and then make sound corresponding engineering decisions and evaluations through design and trade-off studies relative to comparative costs, equipment purchase and installation, and availability of raw and substitute materials, among other factors.
