| A comprehensive and rigorous introduction to thermal system design from a contemporary perspective Thermal Design and Optimization offers readers a lucid introduction to the latest methodologies for the design of thermal systems and emphasizes engineering economics, system simulation, and optimization methods. The methods of exergy analysis, entropy generation minimization, and thermoeconomics are incorporated in an evolutionary manner.
This book is one of the few sources available that addresses the recommendations of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology for new courses in design engineering. Intended for classroom use as well as self-study, the text provides a review of fundamental concepts, extensive reference lists, end-of-chapter problem sets plus a separate solutions manual, helpful appendices, and a comprehensive case study that is followed throughout the text. Contents include: *Introduction to Thermal System Design *Thermodynamics, Modeling, and Design Analysis *Exergy Analysis *Heat Transfer, Modeling, and Design Analysis *Applications with Heat and Fluid Flow *Applications with Thermodynamics and Heat and Fluid Flow *Economic Analysis *Thermoeconomic Analysis and Evaluation *Thermoeconomic Optimization < |
