Springer International Publishing AG Fundamentals of Computational Fluid Dynamics: The
Book Synopsis This book presents the developments of the finite volume method applied to fluid flows, starting from the foundations of the method and reaching the latest approaches using unstructured grids. It helps students learn progressively, creating a strong background on CFD. The text is divided into two parts. The first one is about the basic concepts of the finite volume method, while the second one presents the formulation of the finite volume method for any kind of domain discretization. In the first part of the text, for the sake of simplicity, the developments are done using the Cartesian coordinate system, without prejudice to the complete understanding. The second part extends this knowledge to curvilinear and unstructured grids. As such, the book contains material for introductory courses on CFD for under and graduate students, as well as for more advanced students and researchers.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer International Publishing AG Indirect Dew-Point Evaporative Cooling: Principles and Applications
Book SynopsisThis book systematically discusses state-of-the-art dew-point evaporative cooling and provides key insights into current research efforts and future research interests. Novel energy-efficient and environment-friendly cooling technologies are essential to reduce the sharply rising energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. Conventional air-conditioners which adopt a vapor compression cycle are neither energy-efficient nor sustainable due to the use of compressors and chemical refrigerants, as well as their intrinsic coupling of sensible and latent cooling loads. With the merits of high energy efficiency and the ability to decouple cooling loads without using chemical refrigerants, indirect dew-point evaporative cooling provides an ideal alternative solution to air conditioning in a variety of applications. A comprehensive review of evaporative cooling and their underlying engineering challenges is included. Advanced engineering and modeling experience critical to the development of dew-point evaporative coolers are highlighted. The effective analysis techniques for dew-point evaporative coolers are documented, and their intrinsic characteristics captured by these methods are reported. Lastly, advanced dew-point evaporative cooling systems in various energy-connected applications are discussed by providing multiple case studies. Specifically targeted at HVAC engineers, thermal scientists, and energy-engineering researchers, this book will balance fundamental concepts, industrial applications, and leading-edge research. As this book provides readers with depth and breadth of coverage, it can also be used by graduate-level students in relevant fields.Table of ContentsState-of-the-art air conditioning technologies.- Fundamental principles of evaporative cooling.- Engineering of dew-point evaporative coolers.- Modelling of dew-point evaporative coolers.- Fundamental analysis of dew-point evaporative cooler.- Applications of dew-point evaporative cooling systems.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Wärme und Entropie: Doch, sie gehören zusammen!
Book SynopsisHeinz Herwig stellt den fundamentalen Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden Größen Wärme und Entropie heraus und eröffnet damit eine neue Sichtweise. Die Betrachtung der Entropie bei der Energieübertragung in Form von Wärme erlaubt es, Verluste bei der Wärmeübertragung zu benennen und zu bestimmen. Mit dem Konzept des entropischen Potentials einer Energie gelingt es, eine Energieentwertungszahl zu definieren, die einzelne Teilprozesse einer Prozesskette bewerten kann. Für dieses essential werden Kenntnisse über die verschiedenen Arten von Wärmeübertragungen in technischen Systemen vorausgesetzt. Grundlagen hierzu finden sich in dem Band Wärmeübertragung – ein nahezu allgegenwärtiges Phänomen desselben Autors.

Book SynopsisSupercritical pressure fluids have been exploited in many engineering fields, where binary mixtures are frequently encountered. This book focuses on the coupled heat and mass transfer in them, where the coupling comes from cross-diffusion effects (i.e., Soret and Dufour effects) and temperature-dependent boundary reactions. Under this configuration, three main topics are discussed: relaxation and diffusion problems, hydrodynamic stability, and convective heat and mass transfer. This book reports a series of new phenomena, novel mechanisms, and an innovative engineering design in hydrodynamics and transport phenomena of binary mixtures at supercritical pressures. This book covers not only current research progress but also basic knowledge and background.
