Subramanian K. Thermodynamic Cycles for Renewable Energy...2021

Textbook in PDF format

This research and reference text surveys the role of specialised thermodynamic cycles in renewable energy technologies. The latest innovations in the technology of the Rankine, Stirling, Brayton, Kalina, Goswami and OTEC Rankine cycles are analysed. Concepts and applications are introduced through clear diagrams, and case studies, end-of-chapter summaries and practical examples are presented to equip the reader to engage practically with the subject. An invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students in the field of renewable and sustainable power, the book also provides useful supplementary reading for advanced courses in renewable energies and energy systems
