About this book
This book addresses the concept and applications of Finite Time Thermodynamics to various thermal energy conversion systems including heat engines, heat pumps, and refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. The book is the first of its kind, presenting detailed analytical formulations for the design and optimisation of various power producing and cooling cycles including but not limited to:
• Vapour power cycles
• Gas power cycles
• Vapour compression cycles
• Vapour absorption cycles
• Rankine cycle coupled refrigeration systems
