Thermal power plants are one of the most important process industries for engineering professionals. The most fundamental challenge is meeting the growing power demand in sustainable and efficient ways. This book offers thorough coverage of thermal power plants.
Outlines the ongoing research and development in modern Thermal Physics & Statistical Mechanics (TPSM). It is organised into three sections: Selected Topics in TPSM; Advanced Topics in TPSM; and Applications.
Providing coverage of design principles for distillation processes, this text contains a presentation of process and equipment design procedures. It also highlights limitations of some design methods, and offers guidance on how to overcome them.
In this text, the study of thermodynamics is manipulated against the normal course of study. While students and academics will learn the concepts, formulas, and laws of thermodynamics, they will also begin to understand the historical circumstance behind it all.
A fresh and unified exploration of the laws that govern natural change, examining the historical roots and meaning of the concepts of energy and entropy. All natural... Læs mere
