Mechanical Engineering professor edits two new books on Energy Recovery and Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Dr. Basel I. Ismail P.Eng., Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, is the academic editor of two new books published in London, UK, in March 2025 by IntechOpen.
Advances in Energy Recovery and Efficiency Technologies
This book, titled Advances in Energy Recovery and Efficiency Technologies, presents and covers unique and interesting topics related to advances and innovations in energy recovery and energy efficiency technologies. Energy recovery and efficiency technologies and methods aim to decrease energy wasted or unutilized in various energy conversion processes, ultimately reducing the required energy input (fuel) and improving the overall energy efficiency of systems and energy conservation of natural energy resources. These technologies, once efficiently designed and their performances are optimized, will potentially improve the economics and sustainability of systems, as well as reduce their emissions, air pollution, and thermal energy waste discharged to the environment.
Advances in Hydropower Technologies
Hydropower is the power derived from the energy of falling water or fast-running water (as in rivers). Hydropower has been and continues to be a magnificent source of renewable and clean energy for electrical power generation worldwide. It has a long track of successful and reliable power generation. It is a conventional renewable energy source for generating electricity in small-, medium- and large-scale production. This book, titled Advances in Hydropower Technologies, presents and discusses unique topics in hydropower technologies, such as: the performance and design aspects of hydro-turbines; hydroelectric power plants and their sustainability; design, operation and efficiency of hydropower plants; pumped hydropower storage; emergence analysis of novel hydroelectric energy markets; hydropower plants modelling, simulations and management; current and future trends of hydropower policies; and more.
These open-access books through their respective authored chapters are the result of contributions from several leading researchers and experts worldwide. These books are aimed to provide unique sources of information and knowledge for researchers, academicians, industry experts, energy policy makers and economists, working in the area of energy recovery and efficiency as well as in renewable energy specifically on hydropower.
