Yatish T. Shah received his BS from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA and MS and Sc.D from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA. During his 40+ years of experience, he has served as chemical and petroleum engineering department chairman, dean of engineering, chief research officer, provost, visiting scholar, and visiting professor at ten different institutions. Currently he is professor of engineering at Norfolk State University, Virginia, USA. He is also an active consultant to numerous organizations in the energy sector. He has authored four books and over 250 reviews and refereed technical publications in the areas of energy, environmental, and reaction engineering.
"This book is a first of its kind where one can refer to for the
roles of water in fossil (conventional and unconventional),
nuclear, and renewable energy sectors. It not only covers the use
of water as a cooling or heating career fluid, but also as a
reactant and reaction medium in different energy conversion
processes."
—Sandeep Kumar, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia,
USA"This book provides encyclopedic coverage of the role of water
in all aspects of energy production. This allows readers to gain
general knowledge of a very wide range of topics, and the extensive
references allow them to dig deeper when necessary. The book should
prove valuable to engineers and scientists working in water and
energy supply. … [It] is a valuable addition to the
literature."
—Howard G. McIlvried, III, Gulf Research & Development Co.,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (Retired)"This monograph gives
comprehensive coverage of the use of water as a solvent, reactant,
and energy carrier for producing energy, chemicals, and fuels. It
covers both the traditional technologies as well as the
technologies that are likely to be important in the years to come.
Considering that water is becoming a scarce commodity in several
countries, it will be a timely and welcome addition to the books in
the field of green engineering … [as] it conveys to the reader the
importance of water in sustainable development."
—Deepak Kunzru, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur"The book
provides a vibrant platform for students, researchers,
entrepreneurs, and technologists to understand and learn more about
the role of water in energy and fuel production in sustaining the
ecosystem. The book focuses on promoting the concept of green and
clean technology using chemistry and chemical engineering practices
to reduce or eliminate the use and/or generation of potentially
hazardous materials...[It] clearly overviews the methodologies for
harnessing water energy for competing their market share."--Sanjeev
