Exergy Analysis of Heating and Cooling

Exergy Analysis of Heating and Cooling, 1st Edition, presents a systematic methodology for analyzing the thermodynamic performance of integrated heating and cooling systems. The work tracks the complete chain of thermodynamic processes, evaluating energy movement from primary exergies down to useful exergy services across complex operational setups.

The material moves from fundamental theory and system boundary formulation to energy and exergy balances. Readers examine exergy analyses of basic components alongside integrated configurations, including power-cogeneration, trigeneration, and district heating and cooling systems.

Targeted at Masters students, PhD students, and practicing engineers, this text provides a framework to pinpoint causes of exergy inefficiency. The analytical structure assists researchers and practitioners in formulating targeted thermal solutions.
