Applied Thermodynamics: Low-Temperature and Renewable Energy Systems considers current trends in its field and helps readers realize tasks associated with the efficient use and conversion of energy. Today's industry demands and the sustainable development goals of the United Nations are shaping the future of thermodynamics. New applications of energy and energy conversion processes are being developed, which have received little attention in thermodynamics. Applied Thermodynamics: Low-Temperature and Renewable Energy Systems pairs key fundamentals with practical applications that support sustainability. After outlining basic concepts and positions of thermodynamics, the authors break down both theory and the classic governing laws of thermodynamics, then provide readers an overview of thermodynamic processes. The text shifts to practical application examples, examining open systems, heat power plants, HVAC and power supply systems from renewable sources, methods and the efficiency of thermal systems, machines and equipment. Geared to students and researchers, the book is packed with solved problems and self-control tests to facilitate understanding. Thermodynamics centres on energy and is central to engineering curricula worldwide. This text fosters practical innovation in a well-established field, by offering readers a contemporary examination of a topic as essential to energy as heat itself. Grounded in classical principles, this contemporary reference considers throughout the context of our current energy mix, applying the critical lens of sustainability and sustainable options for energy conversion. Applied Thermodynamics: Low-Temperature and Renewable Energy Systems delivers fundamentals alongside relevant practical applications of energy conversions from varied energy sources that contribute to the replacement of fossil fuels and the reduction of carbon emissions.
