Thermal Systems Design Discover a project-based approach to thermal
systems design In the newly revised Second Edition of Thermal
Systems Design: Fundamentals and Projects, accomplished engineer
and educator Dr. Richard J. Martin offers senior undergraduate and
graduate students an insightful exposure to real-world design
projects. The author delivers a brief review of the laws of
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and combustion
before moving on to a more expansive discussion of how to apply
these fundamentals to design common thermal systems like boilers,
combustion turbines, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems. The
book includes design prompts for 14 real-world projects, teaching
students and readers how to approach tasks like preparing Process
Flow Diagrams and computing the thermodynamic details necessary to
describe the states designated therein. Readers will learn to size
pipes, ducts, and major equipment and to prepare Piping and
Instrumentation Diagrams that contain the instruments, valves, and
control loops needed for automatic functioning of the system. The
Second Edition offers an updated look at the pedagogy of
conservation equations, new examples of fuel-rich combustion, and a
new summary of techniques to mitigate against thermal expansion and
shock. Readers will also enjoy: Thorough introductions to
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, including
topics like the thermodynamics of state, flow in porous media, and
radiant exchange A broad exploration of combustion fundamentals,
including pollutant formation and control, combustion safety, and
simple tools for computing thermochemical equilibrium when product
gases contain carbon monoxide and hydrogen Practical discussions of
process flow diagrams, including intelligent CAD, equipment,
process lines, valves and instruments, and non-engineering items
In-depth examinations of advanced thermodynamics, including
customized functions to compute thermodynamic properties of air,
combustion products, water/steam, and ammonia right in the user's
Excel workbook Perfect for students and instructors in capstone
design courses, Thermal Systems Design: Fundamentals and Projects
is also a must-read resource for mechanical and chemical
engineering practitioners who are seeking to extend their
engineering know-how to a wide range of unfamiliar thermal systems.
