Quatrième de couverture

This book offers an in-depth thermodynamic analysis of the operation of the main types of thermal power plants. An exergetic analysis adds to and substantially enriches the basic energetic approach. The first chapter introduces the concept of exergy, highlights its subtle nature and develops a methodology to apply it to the analysis of power plant operation. The following chapters are a series of monographs devoted to steam plants, gas turbines, combined cycle plants, internal combustion engines and cogeneration plants. The systematic and comparative presentation of the energy and exergy balances of these plants constitutes an original approach which hopefully will prove of interest.

Biographie

All three authors are Emeritus Professors of the École polytechnique de Louvain and therefore have an extensive experience in teaching mechanical engineering topics and in particular machine thermodynamics.

Pierre Wauters taught basic thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, turbomachinery, fuel management and energetics. Via a permanent contact with industry, his research activity centred on steam turbines and fans.

Joseph Martin was in charge of internal combustion engines, aircraft propulsion, thermodynamics, combustion, and design of machine elements. His research into the implementation of nonconventional fuels led to an industrial development of biomass gasification.

David Johnson's activities, both in teaching and research, were more oriented towards basic mechanical engineering, namely mechanical vibrations, vehicle dynamics, aerospace dynamics, dynamics of machinery and design of machine elements.
