Description

Explore the science behind renewable electric energy with Ocean Energy: Technologies and Potential Environmental Effects. This book provides a detailed look at how energy is harnessed from the sea through both mechanical and thermal processes. Readers will learn about the mechanical forces driven by the rotation of the earth and the gravitational pull of the moon. The text explains how these forces create wind on the ocean surface to form waves, as well as how they generate coastal tides and currents. Additionally, the book covers thermal energy, which is derived from the sun heating the ocean surface while the depths remain cold. This temperature difference provides a unique method for capturing and converting energy. This resource is an essential read for those interested in energy science, engineering, and technology. It offers a clear understanding of how natural ocean movements and temperature variations can be utilized for renewable power generation.

Key Features

Covers the two primary types of ocean energy, including mechanical and thermal methods.

Explains how the earth's rotation and lunar gravity create waves, tides, and currents.

Details the process of capturing thermal energy from the temperature difference between the sun-heated surface and cold depths.

Provides technical insights into how renewable electric energy is harnessed from marine environments.

A comprehensive resource for students and professionals in energy science and engineering.
