Type of monograph: Book

Summary

Energy-related issues, either environmental or economy-related are one of the main challenges of the XXIst century. This publication covers all energy-related themes. It is completed with graduated exercises ensuring the progressive mastery of the notions and methods presented. Completing the scientific and technical aspects, technological and economic themes are developed. Through its highly practical approach and the numerous applications offered, this course will particularly interest students preparing professional and engineering degrees. Extract from the table of contents: introduction to energy; energy management tools (thermodynamic fundamentals, at the crossroads between fluid mechanics and thermokinetics; thermophysical data; energy depletion; linear thermodynamics of irreversible phenomena; the economy and the environment; models and simulation; value theory and optimization); energy applications (insulation: thermal conductivity; convective transfer: heat exchangers, transfer of matter; inverted cycle units: from refrigeration to heat upgrading, mechanical vapour-compression devices, ultra-low temperatures or cryogenics; combustion and combustion engines; water vapour; conversion and energy storage; integration of systems and processes). In the annexes: general mechanics, mathematics: Legendre transformation; fluid mechanics; thermophysical data.
