Advanced engineering thermodynamics / Adrian Bejan, J.A. Jones, Distinguished Professor, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. - Fourth edition. - Hoboken, New Jersey : John Wiley & Sons Inc., c2016. - xxxvii, 746 pages ; illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The First Law -- Entropy generation, or exergy destruction -- Single-phase systems -- Multiphase systems -- Chemically reactive systems --Power generation -- Solar power -- Refrigeration -- Entropy generation minimization -- Irreversible theromodynamics -- Appendix.
"An advanced, practical approach to the first and second laws of thermodynamics
Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics bridges the gap between engineering applications and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Going beyond the basic coverage offered by most textbooks, this authoritative treatment delves into the advanced topics of energy and work as they relate to various engineering fields. This practical approach describes real-world applications of thermodynamics concepts, including solar energy, refrigeration, air conditioning, thermofluid design, chemical design, constructal design, and more. This new fourth edition has been updated and expanded to include current developments in energy storage, distributed energy systems, entropy minimization, and industrial applications, linking new technologies in sustainability to fundamental thermodynamics concepts. Worked problems have been added to help students follow the thought processes behind various applications, and additional homework problems give them the opportunity to gauge their knowledge."--Amazon.com
