澳门六合彩图挂牌 assistant professor of the Chemical Engineering Department and faculty senate member Dr. Shahryar Jafarinejad, together with Dr. Bryan Beckingham, associate professor of Chemical Engineering at Auburn University, recently announced the publication of their latest book, "The Renewable Energy-Water-Environment Nexus: Fundamentals, Technology, and Policy," published by Elsevier.

Drawing on expertise from around the world, the book focuses on critical issues around renewable energy-water-environment nexus in 13 chapters. The book explores different renewable energy technologies, including the importance of their development, use for a sustainable future, sustainability evaluation of renewable energy technologies and an in-depth exploration of fundamental concepts, cutting-edge technologies, and insightful policy discussions crucial for addressing contemporary global challenges. It examines sub-relationships, focusing on renewable energy and water, renewable energy and the environment, and water and the environment. Available methods and tools for analyzing the renewable energy-water-environment nexus, including the life cycle assessment of renewable energy systems, are also covered.

Dr. Jafarinejad, recognized for his expertise and dedication in Chemical Engineering, provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of environmental science and related disciplines.

"This book can be a reference for students of chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, allowing them the opportunity to consider the applications of artificial intelligence and nanotechnology to the nexus, as well as integration of renewable energy, water, and environment-related policies," explained Jafarinejad.

The book highlights key technologies and opportunities in the nexus, considering areas such as renewable energy sources for desalination systems, renewable energy powered water pumping systems, technologies to reduce evaporative water loss in open water storage/reservoir, cooling systems for thermoelectric power plants to reduce or eliminate the use of water for cooling, waste heat recovery and renewable energy utilized systems, energy storage systems, hydrogen technologies, nanotechnology application to the nexus, application of artificial intelligence techniques, and the integration of renewable energy, water, and environment-related policies.

This collaboration between 澳门六合彩图挂牌 and Auburn University demonstrates the commitment of both institutions to advancing scholarly endeavors and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration for addressing pressing societal issues.

"The Renewable Energy-Water-Environment Nexus: Fundamentals, Technology, and Policy" is available through Elsevier and leading book retailers. This book is invaluable for researchers, students, policymakers, and professionals invested in understanding and addressing the multifaceted challenges of renewable energy, water sustainability, and environmental stewardship.
