The definitive text/reference for students, researchers and
practicing engineers This book provides comprehensive coverage on
refrigeration systems and applications, ranging from the
fundamental principles of thermodynamics to food cooling
applications for a wide range of sectoral utilizations. Energy and
exergy analyses as well as performance assessments through energy
and exergy efficiencies and energetic and exergetic coefficients of
performance are explored, and numerous analysis techniques, models,
correlations and procedures are introduced with examples and case
studies. There are specific sections allocated to environmental
impact assessment and sustainable development studies. Also
featured are discussions of important recent developments in the
field, including those stemming from the author s pioneering
research. Refrigeration is a uniquely positioned multi-disciplinary
field encompassing mechanical, chemical, industrial and food
engineering, as well as chemistry. Its wide-ranging applications
mean that the industry plays a key role in national and
international economies. And it continues to be an area of active
research, much of it focusing on making the technology as
environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible without
compromising cost efficiency and effectiveness. This substantially
updated and revised edition of the classic text/reference now
features two new chapters devoted to renewable-energy-based
integrated refrigeration systems and environmental
impact/sustainability assessment. All examples and chapter-end
problems have been updated as have conversion factors and the
thermophysical properties of an array of materials. * Provides a
solid foundation in the fundamental principles and the practical
applications of refrigeration technologies * Examines fundamental
aspects of thermodynamics, refrigerants, as well as energy and
exergy analyses and energy and exergy based performance assessment
criteria and approaches * Introduces environmental impact
assessment methods and sustainability evaluation of refrigeration
systems and applications * Covers basic and advanced (and hence
integrated) refrigeration cycles and systems, as well as a range of
novel applications * Discusses crucial industrial, technical and
operational problems, as well as new performance improvement
techniques and tools for better design and analysis * Features
clear explanations, numerous chapter-end problems and worked-out
examples Refrigeration Systems and Applications, Third Edition is
an indispensable working resource for researchers and practitioners
in the areas of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. It is also an
ideal textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate students in
mechanical, chemical, biochemical, industrial and food engineering
disciplines.
