Introduction to energy technologies for efficient power generation / Alexander V. Dimitrov. - xxxiii, 245 pages.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-234) and index.
1. Theoretical Foundations of Energy Conversions and Thermodynamics ; 1.1 Energy, Energy Conversion, and Generalized Work. 1.1.1 Introduction 1.1.2 Historical Survey of the Stages of Energy Utilization ; 1.1.3 Basic Terms of Energy Conversion and Thermodynamics ; 1.1.3.1 Energy ; 1.1.3.2 Thermodynamic System ; 1.1.3.3 Basic State Parameters ; 1.1.4 General Information on the TDS Working Body (Medium). 1.1.4.1 Ideal Gas 1.1.4.2 Einstein Ideal Solid ; 1.1.5 Work Done in a TDS ; 1.1.5.1 Mechanical Work Done on a TDS ; 1.1.5.2 Thermal Work Done on a TDS ; 1.1.5.3 Other Types of Work in the System. 1.1.6 Cascade Mechanism of Energy Conversions and Transformations (Matrix of Direct Transformations) 1.1.7 Control Questions ; 1.2 Basic Principles of Thermodynamics ; 1.2.1 Law of Energy Conversions (First Principle of Thermodynamics). 1.2.2 Law Concerning the Natural Direction That a TDP Follows (Second principle of thermodynamics) 1.2.3 Control Questions ; 1.3 TDPs in an Ideal Medium ; 1.3.1 Isochoric Process (Charles Process) ; 1.3.2 Isobaric Process ; 1.3.3 Isothermal Process ; 1.3.4 Adiabatic Process.
"This book is intended to serve as a guide for discovering pathways to more efficient energy use. The first part of the book illustrates basic laws of energy conversion and principles of thermodynamics. Laws of energy conservation and direction of energy conversion are formulated in detail, and the types of thermodynamic processes are explained. Also included is the characterization of various types of real energy conversion. The second part of the book discusses types of energy conversion referred to as thermal-energy technologies. The advantages of the co-generation processes and devices operating within the Brayton direct cycle and their adaptively to household energetics are underlined."--Provided by publisher.
