Book Thermodynamique optimale en dimensions physiques finies

Download or read book Thermodynamique optimale en dimensions physiques finies written by FEIDT Michel and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La thermodynamique doit aujourd’hui s’adapter à une problématique plus large, le développement durable. Par le biais d’une approche originale utilisant des outils renouvelés, cet ouvrage apporte des réponses à ce challenge sous deux aspects : - un aspect applicatif, par la méthodologie d'optimisation sous contrainte, qui conduit à des solutions optimales faciles à comparer à l'existant, et dessine les voies et potentiels d'amélioration encore disponibles ; - un aspect fondamental, qui correspond à une vision nouvelle de la thermodynamique des machines et des systèmes. Le livre s'écarte de l'approche classique de thermodynamique de l'équilibre, développée par Carnot, pour adopter une méthode qui allie les descriptions des phénomènes dynamiques de transfert et de conversion. À ces aspects pratiques de la vie courante, s'ajoute une vision plus profonde et fondamentale du monde, en particulier la notion d'évolution, intimement liée au second principe de thermodynamique. L’auteur Ingénieur et physicien, Michel Feidt est enseignant-chercheur en thermodynamique et énergétique à l'université de Lorraine. Il anime aussi une équipe de recherche dédiée aux études des systèmes et procédés énergétiques.

Book Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications

Download or read book Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications written by Michel Feidt and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book results from a Special Issue related to the latest progress in the thermodynamics of machines systems and processes since the premonitory work of Carnot. Carnot invented his famous cycle and generalized the efficiency concept for thermo-mechanical engines. Since that time, research progressed from the equilibrium approach to the irreversible situation that represents the general case. This book illustrates the present state-of-the-art advances after one or two centuries of consideration regarding applications and fundamental aspects. The research is moving fast in the direction of economic and environmental aspects. This will probably continue during the coming years. This book mainly highlights the recent focus on the maximum power of engines, as well as the corresponding first law efficiency upper bounds.

Book Advances in Thermodynamics and Circular Thermoeconomics

Download or read book Advances in Thermodynamics and Circular Thermoeconomics written by Michel Feidt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on energy physics and energy efficiency discusses two essential components of energy physics: the fundamentals and the criteria. It covers the historical basis of Carnot models, the thermostatic cycles of double-function heat pumps and the optimization of thermomechanical engines, and discusses the results of various investigations, bringing together a number of previous works. The latter half of this book introduces the concept of "Circular Thermoeconomics" and assesses the physical costs of recycling waste in increasingly complex industrial processes. It then goes on to present "Relative Free Energy", allowing us to create a new mathematical theory of thermodynamic costs in order to diagnose malfunctions in thermal systems. The book shows the progression of knowledge on the existence of successive energy, power and efficiency, and pairs this with the economic aspects, which are already becoming linked to growing environmental concerns.

Book Stable Isotope Studies of the Water Cycle and Terrestrial Environments

Download or read book Stable Isotope Studies of the Water Cycle and Terrestrial Environments written by A-V. Bojar and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is devoted to Earth surface environmental reconstructions and environmental changes that may be deciphered and modelled using stable isotopes along with mineralogical/chemical, sedimentological, palaeontological/biological and climatological methodologies. The book is divided into two sections, both using stable isotopes (see www.geolsoc.org.uk/SP507) in various samples and phases as the main research tool. The first section is devoted to studies focusing on the distribution of isotopes in precipitation, groundwater, lakes, rivers, springs, tap water, mine water and their relationship with terrestrial environments at regional to continental scale. In relation to this, the second section includes case studies from a range of continental settings, investigating cave deposits (stalagmites, bat guano), animal skeletons (dinosaurs, alligators, turtles, bivalves), present and past soils (palaeosols) and limestones. The sections focus on the interaction between the surficial water cycle and underground water storage with deposits acting as archives of short- to long-term climatic and environmental changes. Examples from the Early Cretaceous to present time come from Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America.

  • ISBN : 9783036549491
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Finite Time Thermodynamics written by Stephen Berry and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2022-09-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory around the concept of finite time describes how processes of any nature can be optimized in situations when their rate is required to be non-negligible, i.e., they must come to completion in a finite time. What the theory makes explicit is "the cost of haste". Intuitively, it is quite obvious that you drive your car differently if you want to reach your destination as quickly as possible as opposed to the case when you are running out of gas. Finite-time thermodynamics quantifies such opposing requirements and may provide the optimal control to achieve the best compromise. The theory was initially developed for heat engines (steam, Otto, Stirling, a.o.) and for refrigerators, but it has by now evolved into essentially all areas of dynamic systems from the most abstract ones to the most practical ones. The present collection shows some fascinating current examples.

Book Geomorphological Fluid Mechanics

Download or read book Geomorphological Fluid Mechanics written by N.J. Balmforth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geomorphology deals with some of the most striking patterns of nature. From mountain ranges and mid-ocean ridges to river networks and sand dunes, there is a whole family of forms, structures, and shapes that demand rationalization as well as mathematical description. In the various chapters of this volume, many of these patterns are explored and discussed, and attempts are made to both unravel the reasons for their very existence and to describe their dynamics in quantitative terms. Particular focus is placed on lava and mud flows, ice and snow dynamics, river and coastal morphodynamics and landscape formation. Combining a pedagogical approach with up-to-date reviews of forefront research, this volume will serve both postgraduate students and lecturers in search of advanced textbook material, and experienced researchers wishing to get acquainted with the various physical and mathematical approaches in a range of closely related research fields.
