Description
This new text presents the basic concepts and procedures for the design and optimization of thermal systems. Through a variety of open-ended problems and examples, Design and Optimization of Thermal Systems discusses conceptual design, formulation, modeling, simulation, synthesis, and optimization. Computational simulations are also presented as important ingredients in the design process. The text takes the reader from simple systems to full-scale practical systems in industry. Sample computer programs, material properties, and other useful information is also included.
