Highlighting the physics and engineering aspects of energy conversion systems, this book presents an exhaustive exposition of both conventional and non-conventional conversion systems.
Presents a detailed description of nuclear and photo voltaic power.
Discusses magneto hydrodynamics, wind and ocean energy, fossil fuel and hydroelectric power.
Explains coal gasification, biomass and geothermal energy, thermo-electric converters and fuel cells.
Also explains problems of cogeneration and energy storage.
Highlights the global energy scenario and the environmental effects of various energy conversion systems.
Illustrative examples are provided throughout the book. Review and multiple choice questions and practice problems are provided at the end each chapter.
With its comprehensive coverage and systematic presentation, this is an essential text for electrical engineering students. Practising engineers would also find this book extremely useful as a reference source.

Rakosh Das Begamudre
has been actively engaged in teaching, research, development and consulting in electrical machinery, control of machines and extra high voltage power transmission for nearly five decades at universities in India, United States and Canada. He holds the B.Sc. (Engineering) degree from the Banaras Hindu University (B.H.U.), the A.I.I.Sc. (Masters) degree from the Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore) and the Ph.D. degree from the Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (U.S.A.). His training in large rotating machinery and transformer engineering was at the factories of Messrs HITACHI Ltd., in Japan. He was manager of Walden North Enterprises in Lillooet, Canada, working on motor control and energy problems.
The author has worked with eminent professors in these fields such as Principal M. Sengupta at the B.H.U., Professor K. Aston at Roorkee University, Professors L.V. Bewley and A.R. Miller at Lehigh. He has held faculty positions at the universities of Mysore, Roorkee, Banaras, Lehigh, the Royal Military College of Canada and finally was Visiting Professor at l.l.T. Kanpur.
