By R. S. Berry et al.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Neue Wege zum Design und zur Analyse einer Vielzahl technologischer Prozesse! Dieses Buch bietet erstmals eine umfassende gemeinsame Behandlung der Thermodynamik in endlicher Zeit und der Optimierung zugehöriger Steuerungen. Die wichtigsten Neuerungen auf diesen Gebieten innerhalb der letzten zwanzig Jahre werden von kompetenten Autoren vorgestellt. The optimization of thermodynamic processes is crucial to the design of energy-saving technologies as well as in troubleshooting problems for heat engines, heat pumps, refrigerators, and various separation and mass transfer processes.

---

The first book to provide a comprehensive treatment integrating finite-time thermodynamics and optimal control, giving an overview of important breakthroughs in the last 20 years.

It presents a survey of the optimization technique, including the basics of optimal control theory, and the principal thermodynamic concepts and equations. In addition, it covers the solutions of a variety of finite-time thermodynamic problems, including coverage of their potential applications for the design of real technological processes, such as:

_ heat-exchange systems

_ mass transfer and separation processes

_ commodity exchange as a finite-time thermodynamic process

_ heat-driven mechanical processes with one or several reservoirs.

This is a key resource for chemical and mechanical engineers involved in power systems and process engineering. Researchers in theoretical, physical and industrial chemistry in academia and in industry will also welcome this book for the fresh perspectives that offer new ways to design and analyze a wide variety of processes.
