Borel, Lucien.

Thermodynamics and energy systems analysis : . Volume 2, solved problems and exercises / Lucien Borel, Daniel Favrat, Dinh Lan Nguyen, Magdi Batato. - 1st ed. - [S.l.] : EPFL Press, 2012. - 500 p. ; 25 cm. - Engineering sciences: mechanical engineering. . - Engineering sciences: mechanical engineering. .

This book illustrates the basic concepts of phenomenological thermodynamics and how to move from theory to practice by considering problems in the fields of thermodynamics and energy-systems analysis. Many subjects are handled from an energetics or exergetics angle: calorimeters, evaporators, condensers, flow meters, sub or supersonic nozzles, ejectors, compressors, pumps, turbines, combustion processes, heaters, smoke stacks, cooling towers, motors, turbo-reactors, heat pumps, air conditioning, thermo-electrical generators, energy storage, and more.
