Sommario/riassunto

This book, authored by Dr.-Ing. Alexander Alekseev, presents a comprehensive exploration of process design in the field of cryogenics. It is based on courses taught at the Technical University of Munich, focusing on the simulation and design of cryogenic processes. Key topics include the mixed fluid Joule–Thomson process, Brayton process, and Claude process, with detailed examinations in Chapter 7. The book emphasizes process calculations, design of key hardware components,



and thermodynamic analysis using the exergy concept. It is intended for students and professionals in engineering, particularly those interested in cryogenic systems and applications in areas such as helium plants, aerospace, and physics.
