About this title

Synopsis

Hardbound. The subject of this book is the exergy analysis of the efficiency of processes involving energy and matter transformations. Efficiency is one of the most important criteria used in evaluating the performance of all types of processing plants; in particular those of the energy and chemical industries. The beauty of the exergetic approach to thermodynamic analysis is that it permits a universally applicable definition of efficiency and is free of contradictions in its treatment of numerous and diverse systems. The book provides the reader with the quantitative methods and calculations of efficiency considered to be applicable to different systems and their components. Methods, procedures and instructions for using the efficiency analysis in optimizing the performance of thermal, chemical and other industrial plants are also given. Numerous examples are used in the book to aid the reader in understanding the concepts of efficiency, exergy and thei

Review

...should be recommended for readers who have already had some basics of exergy from thermodynamic textbooks. ...is a good reference for engineers and students involved with various aspects of efficiency assessment and system optimization. -- CSME Transactions
