Emilio Menendez repasa en este nuevo texto las posibilidades que la utilizacion de estas energias alternativas ofrece en nuestro pais y en los paises en vias de desarrollo, encuadrandolos siempre en un esquema de sustentabilidad.

Since publication of the first edition of Fuel Cell Systems Explained, three compelling drivers have supported the continuing development of fuel cell technology. These are: the need to maintain energy security in an energy-hungry world, the desire to move towards zero-emission vehicles and power plants, and the mitigation of climate change by lowering of CO2 emissions. New fuel cell materials, enhanced stack performance and increased lifetimes are leading to the emergence of the first truly commercial systems in applications that range from fork-lift trucks to power sources for mobile phone towers. Leading vehicle manufacturers have embraced the use of electric drive-trains and now see hydrogen fuel cells complementing advanced battery technology in zero-emission vehicles. After many decades of laboratory development, a global but fragile fuel cell industry is bringing the first commercial products to market. This thoroughly revised edition includes several new sections devoted to, for example, fuel cell characterisation, improved materials for low-temperature hydrogen and liquid-fuelled systems, and real-world technology implementation.

Like other British motor manufacturers the Rover Company spent World War II helping the war effort rather than building cars Bombed out of its original home in Coventry during the Blitz in 1940 it was fortunate in 1945 to be able to move into the new factory at Solihull that it had been managing on behalf of the Air Ministry The Solihull factory was not only new it was huge Its size presented Rover with a welcome opportunity for expansion but first the company had to get back into the game With no new car designs ready Rover s only option was to re start production with mildly improved versions of their pre war models New models were a long time coming Early ideas focused on a small economy car but it soon became clear that this was not what the public wanted Meanwhile ambitious plans for a new and ultra modern car using mechanical elements that had been under development before the war had to be put back when there were delays in designing a satisfactory modern body style As a temporary measure Rover added their new mechanical elements to modified pre war style bodies to deliver the P3 models in 1948 The solution was unexpected Rover s Chief Engineer had bought a war surplus Jeep for his own use and he quickly realised that Rover could easily buil

Este libro, es el único del mercado en español que trata en un sólo volumen, de forma detallada y desde la perspectiva técnica, los alimentos naturales, ecológicos, mínimamente procesados o IV gama y los superalimentos. Los alimentos naturales son todos aquellos que nos ofrece la naturaleza sin una excesiva manipulacion, salvo las tareas de siembra, cultivo y recoleccion, como es el caso de ciertos productos vegetales (frutas, verduras, hortalizas, cereales, etc.). Veamos ahora el caso de los alimentos minimamente procesados. Tambien se les conoce como alimentos de la IV gama, y se caracterizan por ser sometidos a tratamientos muy suaves tales como su seleccion por tamaños, inspeccion para eliminar los alimentos en mal estado, lavado, corte en rodajas, etc. Los llamados alimentos ecologicos son los que se producen de forma totalmente natural, es decir, sin la utilizacion de pesticidas, herbicidas, fertilizantes, de forma que se consiguen alimentos excelentes. En cuanto a los superalimentos, la FAO (Organizacion de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentacion) los define como aquellos que, por sus especiales caracteristicas nutricionales (contenido en antioxidantes, grasas omegas 3 y otras, fibra y vitaminas), si se combinan junto con un cambio de habitos, confieren mejoras en la salud. Dentro de este grupo se encuentran alimentos tales como el pescado azul (salmon, sardinas), aguacate, el aceite de oliva virgen, yogures, te verde, legumbres, etc. Tambien se estudian los componentes de los alimentos: grasas, proteinas, hidratos de carbono, sales minerales, vitaminas, etc. Ademas se incluyen casos practicos resueltos que son interesantes para utilizar este libro como instrumento de formacion.

A separate chapter on control systems updates this technology. An expanded discussion of pipeline integrity including the concept of risk management demonstrates how important the subjects of safety, reliability, efficiency, and environmental performance have become.Hundreds of pictures, drawings, and graphs taken and developed by the authors since the first edition bring the material to life. With all these changes and upgrades, the final conclusion is the same as the first edition - an overriding challenge to the oil and gas pipeline industry remains balancing the needs and wants of the industry's myriad of stakeholders.Features and BenefitsConcise overviews of the various pipeline functions and operations.Individual coverage of oil, natural gas, and chemical pipeline operations and their differences.Descriptive photos, charts, and tables for easy comprehension.

As the push for diversification of energy sources continues, this book provides a toolbox of techniques to enhance top-line as well as bottom-line results by successfully managing capital projects and operations & maintenance trade-offs across the value chain. Built on the foundations laid in Jacoby's previous books Optimal Supply Chain Management in Oil, Gas, and Power Generation and Guide to Supply Chain Management, it offers ground-breaking new ways to tap the power of supply chain management in conventional and emerging energy industries - from the small to the large project, and from solar to nuclear and everything in between. The organization of the book makes it a handy reference resource. It starts with a conceptual framework for value chain and supply chain management in the energy sector, laying out objectives, key business processes, and performance metrics that provide useful guideposts. It offers principles that should guide investments in the energy industry and explains how to organize the supply chain to maximize their results. Chapters on capital project and operations management explain tools and techniques that are relevant to energy value chains broadly speaking. Technology-specific chapters show how these concepts apply to ten energy domains: Hydrogen & Fuel Cells, Energy Storage, Wind, Solar, Biomass, Oil & Gas, Geothermal, Gas and Coal-Fired Power, Hydropower, Nuclear
