Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Applied Second Law Analysis of Heat Engine Cycles offers a concise, practical approach to one of the two building blocks of classical thermodynamics and demonstrates how it can be a powerful tool in the analysis of heat engine cycles.

Including real system models with the industry-standard heat balance simulation software, the Thermoflow Suite (GTPRO/MASTER, PEACE, THERMOFLEX) and Excel VBA, the book discusses both the performance and the cost. It also features both calculated and actual examples for gas turbines, steam turbines, and simple and combined cycles from major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In addition, novel cycles proposed by researchers and independent technology developers will also be critically examined.

This book will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers, enabling the reader to approach the most difficult thermal design and analysis problems in a logical manner.

Dr. Gülen (PhD 1992, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York), PE, ASME Fellow, Bechtel Fellow, has more than 25 years of mechanical engineering experience covering a wide spectrum of technology, system, and software design; development (GTPRO/MASTER, THERMOFLEX); performance and cost assessment; and analysis, primarily in the field of steam and gas turbine combined cycle (109FB-SS, IGCC 207FB, H-System) process and power plant turbomachinery and thermodynamics (in Thermoflow Inc., General Electric, and Bechtel). Dr. Gülen authored/co-authored three books, two book chapters, numerous internal/external archival papers, and articles (50-plus), design practices, technical assessment reports, and US patents (25-plus) on gas/steam turbine power plant performance, cost, optimization, data reconciliation, analysis, and modelling.

Reviews for Applied Second Law Analysis of Heat Engine Cycles

"""This book is an outstanding synthesis of fundamental thermodynamics and the behavior of real world heat engines. An outstanding addition for both students and seasoned practitioners."" - Timothy C. Lieuwen, Georgia Institute of Technology"
