Cool Thermodynamics : the Engineering and Physics of Predictive, Diagnostic and Optimization Methods for Cooling Systems.

This book is geared toward those interested in the engineering and physics of air-conditioning and refrigeration devices (chillers). Analytic thermodynamic models are developed for a wide variety of cooling systems and a broad range of operating conditions. These models are easily implemented in the...
