THERMODYNAMICS AND ENERGY CONVERSION - HENNING ...

This textbook gives a thorough treatment of engineering thermodynamics with applications to
classical and modern energy conversion devices.Some emphasis lies on the description of
irreversible processes  such as friction  heat transfer and mixing and the evaluation of the
related work losses. Better use of resources requires high efficiencies therefore the reduction
of irreversible losses should be seen as one of the main goals of a thermal engineer. This book
provides the necessary tools.Topics include: car and aircraft engines  including Otto  Diesel
and Atkinson cycles  by-pass turbofan engines  ramjet and scramjet  steam and gas power plants
including advanced regenerative systems  solar tower and compressed air energy storage  mixing
and separation  including reverse osmosis  osmotic power plants and carbon sequestration  phase
equilibrium and chemical equilibrium  distillation  chemical reactors  combustion processes and
fuel cells  the microscopic definition of entropy.The book includes about 300 end-of-chapter
problems for homework assignments and exams. The material presented suffices for two or three
full-term courses on thermodynamics and energy conversion.
