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 and technologybicsscCarnot efficiencyCarnot engineClausius Statementcomparisonconverter irreversibilitycycle analysisenergy efficiencyenergy lossesentropy analysisentropy productionenzymatic reaction modelexergy destructionexergy efficiencyFinite physical Dimensions Optimal Thermodynamicsfinite-time thermodynamicsglobal efficiencyheat engineheat exchangerheat pumpheat transfer entropylinear irreversible thermodynamicsmaximum ecological Functionmaximum efficient power functionmaximum power outputmodelling with time durationsn/anew efficiency limitsocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC)optimizationplate heat exchangerrefrigeratorsecond lawsecond law of thermodynamicssequential optimizationsteady-state modellingStirling cycletheorem of the equivalence of transformationsthermal systemthermodynamicstransient conditionstwo-stage LNG compressorutilizationHistory of engineering and technologyFeidt Micheledt727699Feidt MichelothBOOK9910557152403321Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications3031147UNINA
