Aide-mémoire. Thermodynamique de l'ingénieur : énergétique - changement climatique.

Author(s) : MEUNIER F.

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This new edition of the book brings together, in a synthetic and illustrated way, all the definitions, equations and methods required to apply thermodynamic concepts: thermodynamic principles and basic relationships; properties of pure bodies and mixtures; thermodynamic cycles (Rankine, Carnot, Hirn, Ericsson, Stirling, Joule, Beau de Rochas, Diesel, Linde, Claude, cogeneration cycles); combustion. One chapter deals with the environmental impacts and many data tables on the thermodynamic properties of bodies are brought together in an appendix. This revised edition also gives an update on reversed mechanical vapour compression cycles and a new version of the chapter on energy and climate change. Extract from the table of contents: the 2 principles of thermodynamics; fundamental relationships; properties of pure bodies; properties of mixtures; thermodynamic cycles; combustion; advanced formalism; the environment, sustainable development and the thermodynamics of climate change.
