Inhaltsangabe

BEJAN IS ONE OF THE TOP WRITERS IN THE AREAS OF THERMODYNAMICS AND HEAT TRANSFER.  THE FIRST TWO EDITIONS OF THIS BOOK HELPED CHANGE THE WAY ADVANCED THERMODYNAMICS IS TAUGHT BY PRESENTING A NEW METHOD FOR EXERGY ANALYSIS BASED ON THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS.  THIS METHOD HAS NOW BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE PROFESSIONAL LITERATURE AS WELL AS IN THE UNDERGRADUATE THERMODYNAMICS CURRICULUM. THE THIRD EDITION HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON BASIC TEACHING MATERIAL AND STATE-OF-THE-ART COVERAGE OF THERMODYNAMICS OF NATURAL CONVECTION, OPTIOMAL FLOW CONFIGURATION, AND BEJANS OWN CONSTRUCTAL THEORY.  NEW HOMEWORK PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDED AND A SOLUTIONS MANUAL IS AVAILABLE.

Reseña del editor:

A brand-new, thought-provoking edition of the unmatched resource on engineering thermodynamics Adrian Bejan's Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics established itself as the definitive volume on this challenging subject. Now, his Third Edition builds on the success of its trailblazing predecessors by providing state-of-the-art coverage in a slimmer, more convenient book. Moving effortlessly among analysis, essay, and graphics, this streamlined edition of Adrian Bejan's powerful presentation will inspire future generations of researchers and students in all areas of engineering, physics, and life sciences. It features: An authoritative treatment of the first and second laws of thermodynamics and the constructal law of natural generation of flow configuration, with prominent focus on the history of the discipline and its main ideas Complete chapters on single-phase systems, multiphase systems, chemically reactive systems, exergy analysis, thermodynamic optimization, irreversible thermodynamics, and constructal theory Applications of thermodynamics to power generation, solar energy, refrigeration, air conditioning, thermofluid design, and constructal design The latest theoretical advances made based on the constructal law: atmospheric circulation and earth climate, animal design (flying, running, swimming), hierarchy and geography of human settlements, scaling laws of all river basins, flow fossils and Egyptian pyramids, and science as a constructal flow architecture A wealth of problems and worked-out examples Brilliant, original illustrations, plus hundreds of classic and contemporary references
