Carnot invented his famous cycle and generalized the efficiency concept for thermo-mechanical engines. Since that time, research progressed from the equilibrium approach to the irreversible situation that represents the general case. This book illustrates the present state-of-the-art advances after one or two centuries of consideration regarding applications and fundamental aspects. The research is moving fast in the direction of economic and environmental aspects. This will probably continue during the coming years. This book mainly highlights the recent focus on the maximum power of engines, as well as the corresponding first law efficiency upper bounds.History of engineering & technologybicsscthermodynamicsoptimizationentropy analysisCarnot enginemodelling with time durationssteady-state modellingtransient conditionsconverter irreversibilitysequential optimizationFinite physical Dimensions Optimal Thermodynamicsglobal efficiencyenergy efficiencyheat engineheat pumputilizationCarnot efficiencycomparisonthermal systemcycle analysissecond law of thermodynamicsClausius Statementtheorem of the equivalence of transformationslinear irreversible thermodynamicsmaximum power outputmaximum ecological Functionmaximum efficient power functionenzymatic reaction modelocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC)plate heat exchangerfinite-time thermodynamicsheat transfer entropyentropy productionnew efficiency limitstwo-stage LNG compressorenergy lossesexergy destructionexergy efficiencyStirling cyclerefrigeratorheat exchangersecond lawHistory of engineering & technologyFeidt Micheledt727699Feidt MichelothBOOK9910557152403321Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications3031147UNINA
