Description

Book Synopsis

The growing demand of energy accounting in industries is the main challenge for academics and engineers working in chemical processing plants, food industries, and the energy sector. Applied Thermodynamics in Unit Operations addresses this demand and offers a clear contribution to the quantification of energy consumption in processes, while also solving the economic aspects of energy that are vital in real-life industrial contexts.

Features:

  • Combines the energy and exergy routines to analyze utilities and unit operations in a wide range of engineering scopes: nozzles, turbines, compressors, evaporators, HVAC, drying technology, steam handling, and power generation
  • Offers a detailed procedure of finding economic wealth of energy in the operations
  • Discusses basic concepts of thermal engineering and industrial operational insights through practiced examples, schematic illustrations, and software codes
  • The only book to i
