Thermodynamics of Solar Energy Conversion
| AUTHOR | De Vos, Alexis |
| PUBLISHER | Wiley-Vch (03/01/2008) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Description
The physical framework used to describe the various conversions is endoreversible thermodynamics, a subset of irreversible thermodynamics. "Thermodynamics of Solar Energy Conversion" provides an excellent generalized introduction into principles of solar energy conversion for everybody knowing some basics of university mathematics. Described are situations which are not in equilibrium and in which entropy is continuously created, but which are nevertheless stationary. In dealing with endoreversible thermodynamics, the given information in this book enables the reader to calculate the explicit values for a broad class of processes. It is demonstrated that solar energy conversion is a process particularly suited to being described in this way.
