Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications

Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications

This book results from a Special Issue related to the latest progress in the thermodynamics of machines systems and processes since the premonitory work of Carnot. Carnot invented his famous cycle and generalized the efficiency concept for thermo-mechanical engines. Since that time, research progres...
