The book is organized in three parts: The first part includes a brief presentation of function optimization and variational calculus, while the second part presents a summary of the optimal control theory. Lastly, the third part describes several applications of optimal control theory in solving various thermal engineering problems. These applications are grouped in four sections: heat transfer and thermal energy storage, solar thermal engineering, heat engines and lubrication.Clearly presented and easy-to-use, it is a valuable resource for thermal engineers and thermal-system designers as well as postgraduate students. 410 0$aStudies in Systems, Decision and Control,$x2198-4190 ;$v93 606 $aControl engineering 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat transfer 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aControl theory 606 $aControl and Systems Theory 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer 606 $aSystems Theory, Control 606 $aThermodynamics 615 0$aControl engineering. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat transfer. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aControl theory. 615 14$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 615 24$aSystems Theory, Control. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 676 $a620 700 $aBadescu$b Viorel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0762892 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254325503321 996 $aOptimal Control in Thermal Engineering$92138035 997 $aUNINA
