Information About
One can find several excellent textbooks on nuclear engineering and reactor systems and also good books on fossil-fuel systems and direct energy conversion. Unfortunately, there are very few textbooks that try to cover all aspects of energy conversion, including systems and theory. This book attempts to bridge that gap.
