Heat and fluid flow in fluid-saturated porous media has become
increas ingly more attractive to researchers and thus it has become
a very pro ductive field for many researchers and practical
engineers in very diverse range of fields. The great interest in
the topic stems from its widespread number of different practical
applications in modern industries and in many environmental issues,
such as nuclear waste management, build ing thermal insulators,
geothermal power plants, grain storage, etc. In building sciences
and thermal insulation engineering, an appreciable in sulating
effect has been derived by placing porous material in the gap
between the cavity walls and multishield structures of nuclear
reactors between the pressure vessel and the reactor. Geophysical
applications include modeling of the spread of pollutants (e. g.
radioactive mater ial), water movements in geothermal reservoirs,
enhanced recovery of petroleum reservoirs, etc. These, and many
other, important practical applications have resulted in a rapid
expansion of research in the general area of porous media and thus
generated a vast amount of both theor etical and experimental
research work. It has attracted the attention of industrialists,
engineers and scientists from many varying disciplines, such as
applied mathematics, chemical, civil, environmental, mechanical and
nuclear engineering, geothermal physics, food science, medicine,
etc. This book contains some of the contributions to the NATO
Advanced Study Institute on Emerging Technologies and Techniques in
Porous Media that was held in Neptun-Olimp, Constanta, Black Sea,
Romania on 9-20 June, 2003."

A comprehensive assessment of the methodologies of thermodynamic
optimization, exergy analysis and thermoeconomics, and their
application to the design of efficient and environmentally sound
energy systems. The chapters are organized in a sequence that
begins with pure thermodynamics and progresses towards the blending
of thermodynamics with other disciplines, such as heat transfer and
cost accounting. Three methods of analysis stand out: entropy
generation minimization, exergy (or availability) analysis, and
thermoeconomics. The book reviews current directions in a field
that is both extremely important and intellectually alive.
Additionally, new directions for research on thermodynamics and
optimization are revealed.
