He received his doctorate from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology in the United Kingdom in 1982. His research focus is on fluid engineering, solar energy conversion, ultra-low temperature refrigeration, and magnetic fluids.

From the Back Cover

EXPLORE A TIMELY AND COMPREHENSIVE INTRODUCTION TO CO₂ HEAT PUMP THEORY AND USAGE

Transcritical CO₂ Heat Pumps: Fundamentals and Applications delivers a complete introduction to both refrigeration and heating cycles using CO₂ as the working fluid. The book explores the basic theories, devices, systems, cycles, and real-world designs for a variety of applications, including residential water heaters, commercial HVAC systems, space heating, and residential, commercial, and industrial heat pumps.

The distinguished authors describe why CO₂ has received a great deal of attention in the trans-critical compression refrigeration thermodynamics cycle of air conditioners and heat pumps. They also discuss why CO₂ refrigeration and heat pumps are expected to be at the forefront of future technology both in the lab and in the market.

You’ll discover the fundamental properties of CO₂ as well as a variety of common and useful applications of the technology, like revised Carnot cycle heating and cooling equipment. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

A thorough introduction to the thermodynamic cycles of transcritical heat pumps, including the properties of pure substances, the phase change process, and the Carnot cycle

An exploration of heat pump working fluids, including natural working fluids and carbon dioxide fluids

Practical discussions of heat pump cycles and systems, including heat pump cooling and heating cycles, components, design, and thermodynamic analysis

An examination of trans-critical CO₂ heat pump cycles, including the various practical cycle

Perfect for researchers and practicing engineers in the fields of HVAC and refrigeration, Transcritical CO₂ Heat Pumps: Fundamentals and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering and thermodynamics programs.
