Is "zero waste engineering" possible?
This book outlines how to achieve zero waste engineering, following
natural pathways that are truly sustainable. Using methods that have
been developed in various areas for sustainability purposes, such as new
mathematical models, recyclable material selection, and renewable
energy, the authors probe the principles of zero waste engineering and
how it can be applied to construction, energy production, and many other
areas of engineering.
This groundbreaking new volume:
- Explores new scientific principles on which sustainability and zero
waste engineering can be based
- Presents new models for energy efficiency, cooling processes, and
natural chemical and material selection in industrial applications and
business
- Explains how "green buildings" and "green homes" can be efficiently
built and operated with zero waste
- Offers case histories and successful experiments in sustainability and
zero-waste engineering
Ideal for:
Engineers and scientists of all industries, including the energy
industry, construction, the process industries, and manufacturing.
Chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers,
petroleum engineers, process engineers, civil engineers, and many other
types of engineers would all benefit from reading this exciting new
volume.
