Power Density
A Key to Understanding Energy Sources and Uses
Ranked #37 in Energy
The first systematic, quantitative appraisal of power density, offering detailed reviews of power densities of renewable energy flows, fossil fuels, and all common energy uses.
"There's no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil."
--Bill Gates
In this book, Vaclav Smil argues that power density is a key determinant of the nature and dynamics of energy systems. Any understanding of complex energy systems must rely on quantitative measures of many fundamental variables. Power density--the rate of energy flux per unit of area--is an... more
