Energy Engineering - Applications and Batteries

Energy Engineering - Applications and Batteries presents an integrated overview of modern energy engineering solutions addressing the growing global demand for efficient, sustainable, and resilient energy systems. In the context of climate change, resource constraints, and environmental challenges, the book highlights advanced engineering approaches and emerging technologies shaping the future of energy and electrification. The volume is organized into two sections. The section “Energy Engineering Applications” focuses on applied solutions in thermal systems, hydraulic and mechanical systems, smart energy management, energy storage, and sustainable propulsion, including hybrid evaporative cooling, energy-efficient hydraulic control, machine learning, and IoT for emission reduction, modern energy storage technologies, and alternative drivetrain concepts for agricultural and off-road vehicles. The section “Energy Engineering for Batteries” addresses advanced battery technologies, covering computational modelling of electrode–electrolyte interfaces, next-generation vehicle battery systems, and advanced material synthesis methods for lithium-ion batteries. Bridging theory and practice, this expert-authored book serves as a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, graduate students, and industry professionals working in energy engineering, sustainable technologies, and advanced battery technologies.
