| Synopsis: |
This edited book looks at recent studies on interdisciplinary research related to exergy, energy, and the environment. This topic is of prime significance - there is a strong need for practical solutions through better design, analysis and assessment in order to achieve better efficiency, environment and sustainability. Exergetic, Energetic and Environmental Dimensions covers a number of topics ranging from thermodynamic optimization of energy systems, to the environmental impact assessment and clean energy, offering readers a comprehensive reference on analysis, modeling, development, experimental investigation, and improvement of many micro to macro systems and applications, ranging from basic to advanced categories. Its comprehensive content includes: Comprehensive coverage of development of systems considering exergy, energy, and environmental issues, along with the most up-to-date information in the area, plus recent developmentsNew developments in the area of exergy, including recent debate involving the shaping of future directions and priorities for better environment, sustainable development and energy securityProvides a number of illustrative examples, practical applications, and case studies |
