Résumé

This book develops analytic thermodynamic models for a wide variety of cooling systems and a broad range of operating conditions. These models are easily implemented in the field or laboratory. Although it is focussed upon mechanical chillers, there is also substantial material on heat-driven absorption chillers, heat pumps and heat transformers, as well as thermoelectric, thermoacoustic and vortex-tube units. Extract from the table of contents: what the book has to offer and the intended audiences: modelling, diagnosing and optimizing cooling devices; thermodynamic and operational fundamentals; standards, measurements and experimental test facilities for chillers and heat pumps; entropy production, process average temperature and chiller performance: translating irreversibilities into measurable values; the fundamental chiller model in terms of readily-measurable variables; experimental validation of the fundamental model and optimization case studies for reciprocating chillers; finite-time thermodynamic optimization of real chillers; coolant flow rate as a control variable; optimization of absorption systems; quasi-empirical thermodynamic model for chillers; the inadequacy of endoreversible models; heat exchanger internal dissipation in chiller analysis and the essential role of accurate process average temperatures; temperature-entropy diagrams for representing real irreversible chillers; caveats and challenges.
