Beskrivning

Discover a straightforward and holistic look at energy conversion and conservation processes using the exergy concept with this thorough text. Explains the fundamental energy conversion processes in numerous diverse systems, ranging from jet engines and nuclear reactors to human bodies. Provides examples for applications to practical energy conversion processes and systems that use our naturally occurring energy resources, such as fossil fuels, solar energy, wind, geothermal, and nuclear fuels. With more than one-hundred diverse cases and solved examples, readers will be able to perform optimizations for a cleaner environment, a sustainable energy future, and affordable energy generation. An essential tool for practicing scientists and engineers who work or do research in the area of energy and exergy, as well as graduate students and faculty in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and physics.

'Beginners will discover a simple and holistic view of the energy conversion and conservation process with an exergy concept. The concise but practical description of the fundamental energy conversion process in various systems, from jet engines and nuclear reactors to the human body, is given. Readers can find useful examples of practical energy conversion processes and systems that use naturally occurring energy resources such as fossil fuels, solar energy, wind power, geothermal power, and nuclear fuel. The chapter 'Exergy in Biological Systems' is an outstanding feature of this textbook. Readers can find fundamental examples with solutions of biomass energy conversion system, such as, 'Animal and Human Systems', 'Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Biological Systems', and 'Entropy Production and Exergy Destruction in Humans.''
