"Considered as particularly difficult by generations of students and engineers, thermodynamics applied to energy systems can now be taught with an original instruction method that starts with a different approach and that has proven to be simpler than existing methods.Energy Systems is different from related books on thermodynamics calculations as it approaches energy calculations as the objective. Its style, content, setup and approach is drastically different from existing texts on the subject, and the software package will offer both students and teachers help to further develop the students' skills. Developed for use with the Thermoptim software and manual, it allows the student to study over 200 examples, manuals and programming and design tools to solve exercises at all levels of complexity. The software is easy to use and enables the student to become fully operational. The student version of Thermoptim is freely available teachers can get more extended options out of the program after registration. A professional edition is also available and has been adapted by more than 30 many companies and research institutes.This volume provides the reader with an overall review of various energy conversion technologies, and help to understand the recent evolutions and design principles: gas turbines and combined cycles, aerospace engines, Diesel and spark ignition engines, Stirling engines, steam power plants, cogeneration units, refrigeration machines, heat pumps, air-conditioning plants, innovative energy converters, new and renewable energy, etc.Moreover, it shows how to bu…
