Description
Résumé : Our energy needs are the major contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuels are still largely the primary source of energy of most world economies. In this context, it is absolutely necessary to optimize energy systems so as to minimize the consumption of fossil fuels. Energy system modeling in an essential step in understanding the system inefficiencies and improvement potential. This book gives presentation of main thermodynamic concepts that are required to undestant the working principles of thermodynamic cycles and to model their performances. the focus here is put on heat to power thermodynamic cycles (gas trubines, steam vapor power plants, combined cycle and cogeneration plants) and on vapor compression cycles. For each system, the book presents the basic cycle and explains the main ideas proposed to optimize its performances, including the intoduction of the exergy concept. The main objective of the book is to present comprehensible performance analysis and improvement methods. Even if some of the presented systems have been developped for decades, these methods are extremely useful in the reduction of energy consumption and to tackle environnemental issues.
