For many years to come, the use of thermal engines will continue to be necessary for transportation on land, by sea and by air, as well as for many industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAgainst this background, \u003ci\u003eThermodynamics of Heat Engines\u003c\/i\u003e aims to present a comprehensive overview of the thermodynamic concepts, including combustion, that are necessary for understanding the phenomena governing the energy efficiency of internal and external combustion engines as well as that of gas turbines and jet propulsion engines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExisting and developing industrial applications, based on combined heat and power (CHP) or the use of staged cycles, are presented, with particular attention paid to the recovery of low temperature waste heat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book, which is mainly intended for university and engineering students but is also useful for engineers and technicians working in the fields concerned, provides a basis for reflection on the optimization of energy systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernard Desmet\u003c\/b\u003e is a former professor at ENSIAME – Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France and has directed doctoral theses in energy.
