Combined Cooling, Heating and Power: Decision-Making, Design and Optimization

A professional reference title written primarily for researchers in thermal engineering, Combined Cooling, Heating and Power: Decision-Making, Design and Optimization summarizes current research on decision-making and optimization in combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) systems. The authors provide examples of using these decision-making tools with five examples that run throughout the book.

• Offers a unique emphasis on newer techniques in decision-making
• Provides examples of decision-making tools with five examples that run throughout the book

Masood Ebrahimi received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the K. N. Toosi University of Technology. He has taught widely on power plants, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, turbomachinery, heat exchangers, engines, operation and maintenance of industrial equipment and troubleshooting procedures. He has published papers across power generation technologies in international journals and conference venues, and he has written one book on cogeneration. His industrial experience is high with multiple successful power plants and turbomachinery projects completed.

Ali Keshavarz received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Kansas State University in 1990. He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, internal combustion engines and power plants. In addition, he has been collaborating in joint research projects with Kansas State University as an adjunct research professor. His research interests include numerical and experimental analysis and application of heat transfer in heat engines and the related systems.
