OPTIMAL CONTROL IN THERMAL ENGINEERING - VIOREL...

This book is the first major work covering applications in thermal engineering and offering a
comprehensive introduction to optimal control theory  which has applications in mechanical
engineering  particularly aircraft and missile trajectory optimization. The book is organized
in three parts: The first part includes a brief presentation of function optimization and
variational calculus  while the second part presents a summary of the optimal control theory.
Lastly  the third part describes several applications of optimal control theory in solving
various thermal engineering problems. These applications are grouped in four sections: heat
transfer and thermal energy storage  solar thermal engineering  heat engines and
lubrication.Clearly presented and easy-to-use  it is a valuable resource for thermal engineers
and thermal-system designers as well as postgraduate students.
