Energy system A new approach to engineering thermodynamics

---

As indicated by its title, this book deals with energy systems, i.e. energy conversion technologies (ECTs) considered as systems based on sets of elementary components coupled together. Although it mainly addresses thermodynamic energy conversion, it covers a very large field, including a variety of cycles: conventional as well as innovative power plants, gas turbines, reciprocating engines, Stirling engines, combined cycles, cogeneration, refrigeration cycles, new and renewable energy conversion, combustion, Generation I to IV nuclear energy conversion, evaporation, desalination, fuel cells, CO2 capture and sequestration, air conditioning ete. rnWe have developed over the past twenty-five years a new way of teaching thermodynamics applied to energy conversion now used in more than one hundred and twenty higher education institutions, at both undergraduate and graduate levels (engineering schools, universities) as well as in vocational training.rnThe change in the education paradigm we have introduced is based on a shift of knowledge acquired by students. The writing of equati'ons describing changes undergone by fluids is drastically reduced, the calculations being performed by a simulator such as Thermoptim (www.thermoptim. org) without learners needing to know the details. They devote most of the time on the one hand learning technologies, and secondly reflecting on the architecture of both conventional and innovative thermodynamic cycles, graphically building and setting models of various energy technologies.rn
