A comprehensive introduction to the design and analysis of thermal energy systems

 

Design of Thermal Energy Systems covers the fundamentals and applications in thermal energy systems and components, including conventional power generation and cooling systems, renewable energy systems, heat recovery systems, heat sinks and thermal management.  Practical examples are used throughout and are drawn from solar...

This resource combines-for the first time in a single volume-coverage of basic principles, analysis, and analytical techniques, and design aspects of the fuel cell. It presents fuel cell design at component and system levels, then elaborates on analysis methods for various phenomena associated with components and systems. With its examples, problems, and simulation activities, it makes an excellent graduate text or reference for researchers, engineers, and others involved in energy development. The text guides the reader from foundations and fundamental principles through analysis methods and...

This book provides a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer. It shows students how to implement computational methodology into a computer code and solve complex problems on their own, including problems in heat transfer, mass transfer, and fluid flows. These problems are solved and illustrated through step-by-step derivations and numerous figures. This second edition contains new chapters on mesh generation and computational modeling of turbulent flow. Appendices present examples in ANSYS, STAR CCM+, and COMSOL.

Bridges are significant component of the ground transportation infrastructure, which is imperative even in the present era of high speed aviation. In modern times, many bridges incorporate large steel girders supported by piers imbedded in ground. The huge cost and above all jeopardy of human life associated with bridge failure, has elevated the problem to be of national importance. It is for this reason the study of the erosion or scouring of the river bed is so important to guarantee the integrity of the bridge structure hereby ensuring public safet
