A companion book to the textbook The Exergy Method of Thermal Plant
Analysis. This Companion Book presents model solutions to the
questions taken from Appendix G of the main textbook. Since the
Exergy Method is a relatively new area of Applied Thermodynamics it
was thought that the presentation of model solutions of problems of
various types would be of some help both to teachers and to
self-teaching students. The advantages of the use of exergy
analysis were demonstrated by pointing out and quantifying
thermodynamic losses of various plant components and plant
configurations. These were discussed at the end of the solutions
under Comments. It is hoped that this will give students a deeper
understanding of the nature of irreversibilities of various kinds
and their effect on plant performance. Dr Tadeusz J. Kotas joined
the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Queen Mary College as a
member of teaching staff in 1957. His main areas of interest were
Mechanics of Fluids and Applied Thermodynamics, obtaining a PhD
degree for his work in the former subject. His work in the latter
subject focused on the Exergy Method, contributing to its
development through his research and publications and to its
dissemination through courses which he ran in Britain and in a
number of European countries for practicing engineers and
academics.
