E-Books →Thermal Energy Storage Systems and Applications, 3rd Edition

The Third Edition ofThermal Energy Storage: Systems and Applicationscontains detailed coverage of new methodologies, models, experimental works, and methods in the rapidly growing field. Extensively revised and updated throughout, this comprehensive volume covers integrated systems with energy storage options, environmental impact and sustainability, design, analysis, assessment criteria, advanced tools in exergy and extended exergy, and more. New and expanded chapters address topics such as renewable energy systems in which thermal energy storage is essential, sensible and latent TES systems, and numerical modelling, simulation, and analysis of TES systems. Integrating academic research and practical information, this new edition:

• Discusses a variety of practical TES applications, their technical features, and potential benefits
  
• Explores recent developments and future directions in energy storage technologies
  
• Covers the latest generation of thermal storage systems and a wide range of applications
  
• Features new chapters, case studies, and chapter problems throughout the text
  
• Includes pertinent background information on thermodynamics, fluid flow, and heat transfer
  
• Contains numerous illustrative examples, full references, and appendices with conversion factors and thermophysical properties of various materials
  

Thermal Energy Storage: Systems and Applications, Third Editionis the perfect textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering, and a highly useful reference for energy engineers and researchers.
