Exergy Analysis of Heating and Cooling presents a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental theory and design of various complex heating and cooling systems. The book develops a methodology for the reader to analyze the performance of thermodynamic heating and cooling systems, including known and emerging technologies of the future. The formulation of system and subsystem boundaries are discussed to ensure readers can evaluate the whole chain of processes, from primary exergies to useful exergy services. Numerous examples that illustrate how to identify causes for, and solutions to, exergy efficiency are included to increase clarity and understanding for readers.The book's authors evaluate advanced thermodynamic systems by precisely identifying the design and operating parameters which may cause inefficiencies. Users will find this resource to be a great guide that helps solve common problems and mathematical equations for those working and researching in heating and cooling, thermodynamics, and thermal energy engineering systems.

Presents a methodology to analyze the performance of integrated energy systems, including known and emerging technologiesAnswers conceptual questions and calculations related to the concepts of exergy and efficiency of various heating and cooling systemsEquips readers with the knowledge they need to evaluate the whole chain of processes, from primary exergies to useful exergy services

This book illustrates the basic concepts of phenomenological thermodynamics and how to move from theory to practice by considering problems in the fields of thermodynamics and energy-systems analysis. Many subjects are handled from an energetics or exergetics angle: calorimeters, evaporators, condensers, flow meters, sub or supersonic nozzles, ejec

Die Schweiz hat die ''Energiewende'' eingeläutet und zeigt sich besonders ambitioniert: Regierung und Parlament wollen sich schrittweise aus der Atomenergie zurückziehen, die Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energien verringern und den Ausstoss von Treibhausgasen senken. Die Strategien zur Umsetzung dieser Energiewende werden kontrovers und hitzig diskutiert, wobei die Argumente zuweilen wenig fundiert sind. Diese Publikation schafft hier Abhilfe. Sie liefert konzise und verständliche Antworten zu 100 Fragen, die die Energiewende in der Schweiz aufwirft. Das Buch hilft dabei, sich im Thema zurechtzufinden, eine klare Position zu beziehen und sich mit fundierten Kenntnissen und wissenschaftlich belegten Fakten an der Diskussion beteiligen zu können. Das Buch liefert u. a. Antworten auf die folgenden Fragen:- Was bedeutet der Beschluss des Atomausstiegs für die Schweiz?- Welche Zusammenhänge bestehen zwischen Bevölkerung, wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung und Energieverbrauch?- Wie gross ist die Energieunabhängigkeit der Schweiz?- Welche Energieeinsparungen würden erzielt werden, wenn alle Gebäude auf Minergie®- Standard renoviert würden?- Ist die Schweiz bei der Nutzung der erneuerbaren Energien eine Musterschülerin?- Wie viele Windkraftanlagen braucht man, um ein Kernkraftwerk zu ersetzen?- Warum ist die saisonale Speicherung eine zentrale Herausforderung für unser zukünftiges Energiesystem?

Carefully designed to teach thermodynamics to engineers, this book focuses on the phenomena of irreversibility and the notion of entropy. It also presents a general theory of exergy, with methods of analyse that allow engineers to master problems of current interest in the field of energy management. The authors illustrate practical aspects of the theory by descibiing specific applications such as combustion chambers, turbines, compressors, heat pumps, fuel cells, refrigeration, and more.
