Thermodynamic Cycles: Computer-aided Design and Optimization

This reference illustrates the efficacy of CyclePad software for enhanced simulation of thermodynamic devices and cycles. It improves thermodynamic studies by reducing calculation time, ensuring design accuracy, and allowing for case-specific analyses. The guide offers a user-friendly and effective approach, including worked examples and pedagogic aids, to thermodynamic processes and computer-based experimentation and design. Thermodynamic Cycles: Computer-Aided Design and Optimization allows students to change any parameter and understand its effect on device performance, run experiments and investigate results, and run valuable sensitivity and cost-benefit analyses.
