Research and Markets: Thermodynamics Made Simple for Energy Engineers

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/788f1d/thermodynamics_mad) has announced the addition of the "Thermodynamics Made Simple for Energy Engineers" book to their offering.

The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of important principles and concepts in the field of thermodynamics, written in a fashion that makes this abstract and complex subject easy to comprehend. Intended to serve the needs and interests of energy-involved engineers, the content, concepts and principles are presented in a way which also will allow many non-engineering professionals with some math background to follow the material and gain useful knowledge.

For energy engineers who may have been away from direct engineering practice for a period of time, this book can serve as a quick and effective refresher. Thermodynamic topics including enthalpy, entropy, latent and sensible heat, heats of fusion, and heat of sublimation are clearly presented.

Also covered are phases of substances, the law of conservation of energy, SFEE, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, ideal gas law, and respective mathematical statements. The author provides an examination of specific thermodynamic processes, as well as heat and power cycles such Rankine, Carnot and the differences between them. Case studies illustrate various thermodynamics principles, and each chapter concludes with a list of questions or problems for self assessment, with answers provided at the end of the book.

Key Topics Covered:

• 1 - Introduction to Energy, Heat and Thermodynamics
• 2 - Thermodynamics and Power
• 3 - Study of Enthalpy and Entropy
• 4 - Understanding Mollier Diagram
• 5 - Saturated and Superheated Steam Tables
• 6 - Phases of Water and Associated Thermodynamics
• 7 - Laws of Thermodynamics
• 8 - Thermodynamic Processes
• 9 - Gas Dynamics
• 10 - Psychrometry and Psychrometric Analysis
• 11 - Refrigeration Cycles and HVAC Systems
• Appendices, Index
