Über dieses Buch

This book covers topics related to climate change, weather, greenhouse effect, solar energy, various cycles including carbon, hydraulic, sulphur, renewable energy conservation, ecology and sustainable environment. The contents of the book include pedagogical elements, such as exercises, tables and figures at appropriate places in each chapter, including problems and objective questions at end of each chapter, to aid in learning. Further, the unit conversion from FPS system to SI unit of each parameter, namely length, energy, power, velocity and pressure force, etc, and some standard constants used in examples are also provided in the book. The book also includes discussion about renewable energy sources, namely solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy and geothermal energy, etc, their availability and eco-friendly nature. This book can be a useful reference for those in academia and industry.

Chapter 1. Energy

Abstract

Human is one of the most important living organisms on the planet earth which looks after other living organism including wildlife to sustain nature. They need clean air, water and organic food for longer life. Energy is fourth basic need of human after air, water and food.

Chapter 2. Solar Energy and Various Cycle

Abstract

Solar energy is intermittent in terrestrial region and it is main source of all renewable energy and has infinite source. Further, solar energy plays an important role in balancing ecological and environmental condition for sustaining the nature by various cycles.

Chapter 3. Renewable Energy

Abstract

Renewable energy sources have been created by Sun and hence it has infinite source of energy because Sun has infinite source of energy. It is clean energy unlike underground fossil fuel energy and can be used on the basis of 24 h cycle. On other hand, renewable energy can also be referred as storage of solar energy. It is in different form and indirect source of solar energy namely biomass energy, hydro energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, human as well as animal energy etc.

Chapter 4. Energy Conservation

Abstract

Energy conservation means to minimum use of fossil fuel (coal, petroleum and natural gas) base electrical power which is not either friendly with environment and climate. In place of fossil fuel base electrical power, it is advised by government/agency to use either renewable energy sources or efficient electrical appliances. This can be done through energy audit. Further, users can be provided incentive by earning carbon credit.

Chapter 5. Climate Change

Abstract

There is change in Earth’s average surface air temperature by 2 \(^\circ{\rm C} \) between word war (WW)-II till 2020 due to Industrial Revolution by human activity to full fill their greed with respect to natural phenomenon [IPCC AR6 WG1 2021, SPM-7].

Chapter 6. Ecology

Abstract

The history of life on the planet Earth is interaction between living things including humans and the environment (see Fig. 6.1a). Ecology is the study of all living organisms (part of biology) including wildlife humans, associated with the surrounding environment of the planet Earth.

Chapter 7. Sustainable Environment

Abstract

A human, animals, or plants/any living organism is a part of an ecological community. They, as a part of ecology, lives/operates with the surroundings or conditions are known as environment. In other words, the survival of living organism on the planet earth in an often hostile environment is referred as environment. It is also the complex/crtitical condition of physical, chemical, and biotic factors namely climate, soil, and living things.
