Closed Power Cycles: Thermodynamic Fundamentals and Applications
Sobre aquest llibre
A precise treatment of thermal engines operating in accordance with closed cycles is provided to develop ideas and discussions strictly founded on the basic thermodynamic facts that control the closed cycles operation and design. Closed Power Cycles: Thermodynamic Fundamentals and Applications also contains numerous examples which have been carried out with the help of the Aspen Plus®R program.
Including chapters on binary cycles, the organic Rankine cycle and real closed gas cycles, Closed Power Cycles: Thermodynamic Fundamentals and Applications acts a solid introduction and reference for post-graduate students and researchers working in applied thermodynamics and energy conversion with thermodynamic engines.
Sobre l'autor
Costante Mario Invernizzi is associate lecturer in Machines and Systems for Energy and the Environment at Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering of the University of Brescia (Italy).
He is author of several papers published mostly on international journals. The scientific activity up to now is mainly directed to the thermodynamic and technological aspects of non conventional power cycles, heat pumps and refrigerating cycles using organic working fluids, working fluids with strong real-gas effects and liquid metals.
In 1981 he graduated in Nuclear Engineering at the Politecnico of Milan, in 1987 he obtained a PhD in Energetics and from 1986 he works in academia and in the recent past he has worked together with some important companies in the energy sector in various research and scientific advices.
