University, Canada. He is a leading researcher in the area of sustainable energy technologies, and his achievements have been recognized through numerous teaching, research and service awards. During the past five years he has been recognized by Thomson Reuters as one of The Most Influential Scientific Minds in Engineering and one of the most highly cited researchers. He is truly committed for better teaching and practicing thermodynamics; Includes bibliographical references and index; TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Acknowledgements CHAPTER 1: Fundamentals CHAPTER 2: Energy Aspects CHAPTER 3: Energy Analysis CHAPTER 4: Entropy and Exergy CHAPTER 5: System Analysis CHAPTER 6: Power Cycles CHAPTER 7: Refrigeration and Heat Pump Cycles CHAPTER 8: Fuel Combustion N2 - "Presents a unique, stepwise exergy-based approach to thermodynamic concepts, systems, and applications Thermodynamics: A Smart Approach redefines this crucial branch of engineering as the science of energy and exergy rather than the science of energy and entropy to provide an innovative, step-by-step approach for teaching, understanding, and practicing thermodynamics in a clearer and easier way. Focusing primarily on the concepts and balance equations, this innovative textbook covers exergy under the second law of thermodynamics, discusses exergy matters, and relates thermodynamics to environmental impact and sustainable development in a clear, simple and understandable manner. It aims to change the way thermodynamics is taught and practiced and help overcome the fear of thermodynamics."-- UR - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119711117 ER -
