Release Date: 2020-06-16
Nuclear Reactor Technology Development and Utilization presents the theory and principles of the most common advanced nuclear reactor systems and provides a context for the value and utilization of nuclear power in a variety of applications both inside and outside a traditional nuclear setting. As countries across the globe realize their plans for a sustainable energy future, the need for innovative nuclear reactor design is increasing, and this book will provide a deep understanding of how these technologies can aid in a region's goal for clean and reliable energy. Dr Khan and Dr Nakhabov, alongside their team of expert contributors, discuss a variety of important topics, including nuclear fuel cycles, plant decommissioning and hybrid energy systems, while considering a variety of diverse uses such as nuclear desalination, hydrogen generation and radioisotope production. Knowledge acquired enables the reader to conduct further research in academia and industry, and apply the latest design, development, integration, safety and economic guidance to their work and research. - Combines reactor fundamentals with a contemporary look at evolving trends in the design of advanced reactors and their application to both nuclear and non-nuclear uses - Analyses the latest research and uses of hybrid systems which bring together nuclear technology with renewable energy technologies - Presents applications, economic factors and an analysis of sustainability factors in one comprehensive resource
Making Refugees’ Political Agency Visible
This book centres refugees and asylum seekers as agents of global politics, broadening our thinking about political agency beyond statism, citizenship, and organized political protest. Arguing that to understand forced migration, we must understand the construction of refugees as individual human subjects and how subconscious ideas about refugees influence daily practices and policies, the author studies how refugees make meaning about themselves. Forced migration is a key formative phenomenon of international politics but debates habitually discuss displacement only as an abstract number, economic challenge, or security issue. This volume shifts attention to the individual human subjects as overlooked agents of international relations. To this end, the book rethinks individual subjects altogether and develops a comprehensive practice-theoretical framework of subject construction. Through extensive ethnographic data generated with refugees in Germany and Austria, the author reveals how refugees are depoliticized, and how they combat this using creativity, humour, and intercultural resources. This volume highlights people’s agency despite being subjected to powerful ideas and mechanisms. It will appeal to scholars and students of International Relations, Sociology, Political Science, and Migration Studies.
Internal Combustion Engines

Publisher: Società Editrice Esculapio
Release Date: 2022-07-21
Internal combustion engines are among the most fascinating and ingenious machines which, with their invention and continuous development, have positively influenced the industrial and social history during the last century, especially by virtue of the role played as propulsion technology par excellence used in on-road private and commercial transportation. Nowadays, the growing attention towards the de-carbonization opens up new scenarios, but IC engines will continue to have a primary role in multiple sectors: automotive, marine, offroad machinery, mining, oil & gas and rail, power generation, possibly with an increasing use of non-fossil fuels. The book is organized in monothematic chapters, starting with a presentation of the general and functional characteristics of IC engines, and then dwelling on the details of the fluid exchange processes and the definition of the layout of intake and exhaust systems, obviously including the supercharging mechanisms, and continue with the description of the injection and combustion processes, to conclude with the explanation of the formation, control and reduction of pollutant emissions and radiated noise.
