2. Thermodynamics and Energy Systems Analysis

   Volume 2, Solved Problems and Exercises

   By Lucien Borel, Daniel Favrat, Dinh Lan Nguyen, Magdi Batato

   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 a energetics or exergetics angle: calorimeters, evaporators,...
