Thermodynamics

This book provides a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer. The Second Edition contains new chapters on mesh generation and computational modeling of turbulent flow. Combining theory and practice in classic problems and...

Heating and Cooling of Air Through Coils combines theory and practice to cover the fundamentals in the processes of heating and cooling of air through coils and the key aspects in the psychrometric chart, the coil fluid piping systems, the coils, and the...

This book discusses the basic principles, performance, and technologies unique to the propulsion systems that power space vehicles. It is intended as a stimulating and accessible way in to the subject, aiming for a clear understanding of basic...

This Briefs volume focuses on the maximum power principle, which was created by the mathematician and physical chemist Alfred Lotka, and further developed and utilized most prominently by the systems ecologist H. T. Odum, who applied it to different...

This advanced textbook on theoretical chemistry includes all the fundamental concepts and theoretical approaches to be used when modelling a chemical system (i.e., a molecular system). Starting from the basic principles of quantum mechanics and...

This second edition presents an enriched and expanded exploration of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics tailored for graduate-level studies. Drawing on over three decades of academic teaching experience, the author has refined the content,...

This book gives a step-by-step approach to the design of a cryogenic infrastructure required for superconducting, all-electric aircraft systems which is also partially applicable to liquid hydrogen fueled subsonic and hypersonic aircraft, as well as...

The thermodynamics knowledge you need to succeed in class-and in your career Thermodynamics For Dummies, 2nd Edition covers the topics found in a typical undergraduate introductory thermodynamic course (which is an essential course to nearly all...

Conventional Flowmeters covers origin, principle of operation, development, advantages and disadvantages, applications, and frontiers of research for conventional technology flowmeters, which include differential pressure and primary elements, positive...

Rubber products are widely used in all aspects of oil and gas drilling and production, which play an important role in oil and gas development. The performances of rubber products determine the safe and efficient development of oil and gas. In this book,...

CRC Press is pleased to introduce the new edition of Commonly Asked Questions in Thermodynamics, an indispensable resource for those in modern science and engineering disciplines from molecular science, engineering and biotechnology to astrophysics...

This thesis advances our understanding of how thermal anisotropy can be exploited to extract work through a mechanism that is quite distinct from the classical Carnot heat engine. Anisotropy, the presence of thermal or chemical gradients, is ubiquitous...

This book explores the opportunities and challenges of hydrogen transport through different carriers (i.e., liquefied hydrogen, ammonia, toluene, and dibenzyltoluene). Each value chain analyzed includes: renewable H2 conversion to the carrier, storage of...
