Mounting concern about the depletion of
natural energy resources and the greenhouse effect has led to increased interest in exergy analysis. Also known as second law analysis, this technique is used in thermal and chemical plant analysis, design, and optimization. Exergy analysis, including thermoeconomic analysis as covered in this book, is a most effective tool for increasing the energy efficiency of thermal and chemical plants. A new appendix contains 85 new problems designed to serve not only as vehicles for the
practice of techniques of exergy analysis but also as teaching tools and an extension of the scope of the book. A Solutions Manual or CD-ROM Solutions to the Problems in Appendix G must be purchased with the book for an additional $20.00. The CD-ROM is in the PDF form which enables it to be used on both PC and Mackintosh computers. The Acrobat Reader is included on the disk. |
