| Sumario: | Most energy systems are suboptimized. Businesses and consumers are so focused on initial costs that they underestimate the effect of operating the energy system over its life. This suboptimization creates a fantastic opportunity to not only make a wise decision financially but also reduces the environmental impact of energy systems. There are three simple tools, known to all mechanical engineers, that when added to traditional thermodynamics enable an engineer to find the true optimum of an energy system. In this concise textbook, you will be equipped with these tools and will understand how they are applied to cooling systems. The target audiences for this textbook are mechanical engineering students in their first semester of thermodynamics all the way to engineers with up to 20 years of experience. First semester thermodynamic students will benefit the most from Appendices A and C in Chapter 1. The rest of Chapter 1 is written at a level where any undergraduate mechanical engineering student who is taking heat transfer will be able to quickly assimilate the knowledge. The textbook also has the depth to handle the latent load, which will provide the practicing engineer with the tools necessary to handle the complexity of real cooling systems. |
