520 ^a^"Solar energy is available all over the world in differentintensities. Theoretically, the solar energy available onthe surface of the earth is enough to support the energyrequirements of the complete planet. However, in reality,progress and development of solar science and technologydepends to a large extend on human desires and needs. Thisis due to the various barriers to overcome and to dealwith the economics of practical utilization of solarenergy. The book will introduce the rapid development andprogress in the field of solar energy applications forscience and technology: the advancement in the field ofbiological & chemical processes; electricity production;mechanical & building operations enhanced by solar energy.The book covers bio-fuel, enzymes and other biologicalprocesses related to solar energy; chemical processes forthe production of hydrogen from water and natural gas andother endothermic processes using solar energy; thedevelopment of the thermo-electric production throughsolar energy; the development of solar ponds for electricenergy production; the mechanical operation with solarenergy; the building operation with solar energyoptimization. The book is an invaluable resource forscientists who need the scientific and technologicalknowledge of the wide coverage of solar energy sciencesand engineering applications. This will further encourageresearchers, scientists, engineers, and students tostimulate the use of solar energy as an alternative energysource^"--^cProvided by publisher.
