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. 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 610 $athermodynamics 610 $aoptimization 610 $aentropy analysis 610 $aCarnot engine 610 $amodelling with time durations 610 $asteady-state modelling 610 $atransient conditions 610 $aconverter irreversibility 610 $asequential optimization 610 $aFinite physical Dimensions Optimal Thermodynamics 610 $aglobal efficiency 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aheat engine 610 $aheat pump 610 $autilization 610 $aCarnot efficiency 610 $acomparison 610 $athermal system 610 $acycle analysis 610 $asecond law of thermodynamics 610 $aClausius Statement 610 $atheorem of the equivalence of transformations 610 $alinear irreversible thermodynamics 610 $amaximum power output 610 $amaximum ecological Function 610 $amaximum efficient power function 610 $aenzymatic reaction model 610 $aocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) 610 $aplate heat exchanger 610 $afinite-time thermodynamics 610 $aheat transfer entropy 610 $aentropy production 610 $anew efficiency limits 610 $atwo-stage LNG compressor 610 $aenergy losses 610 $aexergy destruction 610 $aexergy efficiency 610 $aStirling cycle 610 $arefrigerator 610 $aheat exchanger 610 $asecond law 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aFeidt$b Michel$4edt$0727699 702 $aFeidt$b Michel$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557152403321 996 $aCarnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications$93031147 997 $aUNINA
