Beschreibung

This book on energy physics and energy efficiency discusses two essential components of energy physics: the fundamentals and the criteria.

It covers the historical basis of Carnot models, the thermostatic cycles of double-function heat pumps and the optimization of thermomechanical engines, and discusses the results of various investigations, bringing together a number of previous works.

The latter half of this book introduces the concept of "Circular Thermoeconomics" and assesses the physical costs of recycling waste in increasingly complex industrial processes. It then goes on to present "Relative Free Energy", allowing us to create a new mathematical theory of thermodynamic costs in order to diagnose malfunctions in thermal systems.

The book shows the progression of knowledge on the existence of successive energy, power and efficiency, and pairs this with the economic aspects, which are already becoming linked to growing environmental concerns.

The book you have in your hands is one of the books from the “Physics of Energy and Energy Efficiency” subject in the Engineering and Systems department.

The subject of “Physics of Energy and Energy Efficiency”, albeit recent, is not new. It is particularly underpinned by a thermodynamic approach, whatever the scale.

The selected aspect will be phenomenological and characterized explicitly in order to emphasize the key concept of “efficiency”, essential for any system or process.

The characterization chosen for the development of this subject has been arranged into four successive books, each strongly correlated with each other, and also with other series within the department:

Fundamental Physics of Energy

;

Thermodynamics of Heat Engines

;

Heat Engines with Inverse Cycles

;

Efficiency in Practice

.

I would like to thank ISTE, the various coordinators, and the authors for their contributions and effective actions, despite the very particular conditions of the moment. We are awaiting and would like to encourage comments, suggestions and questions from readers.
