Synopsis

This new text presents the basic concepts and procedures for the design and optimization of thermal systems. Through a variety of open-ended problems and examples, Design and Optimization of Thermal Systems discusses conceptual design, formulation, modeling, simulation, synthesis, and optimization. Computational simulations are also presented as important ingredients in the design process. The text takes the reader from simple systems to full-scale practical systems in industry. Sample computer programs, material properties, and other useful information is also included.

About this title

Review

"The book considers the design of thermal systems from different engineering areas, such as manufacturing, energy systems, cooling of electronic equipment, refrigeration, environmental problems, engines, heat transfer equipment, etc. ... The book, dealing with conceptual design, modeling, simulation, design and evaluation of thermal systems, contains many examples, illustrations, tables, computer programs and references."
―Kurt Marti, Zentralblatt MATH 1171
