Overview
This book deals with exergy and its applications to various energy systems and applications as a potential tool for design, analysis and optimization, and its role in minimizing and/or eliminating environmental impacts and providing sustainable development. In this regard, several key topics ranging from the basics of the thermodynamic concepts to advanced exergy analysis techniques in a wide range of applications are covered as outlined in the contents.- Offers comprehensive coverage of exergy and its applications, along with the most up-to-date information in the area with recent developments
- Connects exergy with three essential areas in terms of energy, environment and sustainable development
- Provides a number of illustrative examples, practical applications, and case studies
- Written in an easy-to-follow style, starting from the basics to advanced systems
During the past two decades there have been revolutionary changes in the way thermodynamics is taught, researched and practiced. Today an increasingly strong emphasis is placed on exergy aspects of systems and processes, to improve understanding and assist in thermodynamic optimization.
Exergy, Energy, Environment & Sustainable Development is research-oriented and therefore includes practical features in a usable format often not included in other - solely academic- textbooks. Theory and analysis are emphasized throughout in this comprehensive book, reflecting new techniques, models, and applications. This book is an essential tool for anyone interested in exergy and its relevance to various systems and applications
