Description: Exergy Analysis and Thermoeconomics of Buildings by Jose M. Sala-Lizarraga, Ana Picallo-Perez Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Quantifying exergy losses in the energy supply system of buildings reveals the potential for energy improvement, which cannot be discovered using conventional energy analysis. Thermoeconomics combines economic and thermodynamic analysis by applying the concept of cost (an economic concept) to exergy, as exergy is a thermodynamic property fit for this purpose, in that it combines the quantity of energy with its quality factor.Exergy Analysis and Thermoeconomics of Buildings applies exergy analysis methods and thermoeconomics to the built environment. The mechanisms of heat transfer throughout the envelope of buildings are analyzed from an exergy perspective and then to the building thermal installations, analyzing the different components, such as condensing boilers, absorption refrigerators, microcogeneration plants, etc., including solar installations and finally the thermal facilities as a whole.A detailed analysis of the cost formation process is presented, which has its physical roots firmly planted in the second law of thermodynamics. The basic principles and the rules of cost allocation, in energy units (exergy cost), in monetary units (exergoeconomic cost), and in CO2 emissions (exergoenvironmental cost), based on the so-called Exergy Cost Theory are presented and applied to thermal installations of buildings.Clear and rigorous in its exposition, Exergy Analysis and Thermoeconomics of Buildings discusses exergy analysis and thermoeconomics and the role they could play in the analysis and design of building components, either the envelope or the thermal facilities, as well as the diagnosis of thermal installations. This book moves progressively from introducing the basic concepts to applying them.Exergy Analysis and Thermoeconomics of Buildings provides examples of specific cases throughout this book. These cases include real data, so that the results obtained are useful to interpret the inefficiencies and losses that truly occur in actual installations; hence, the assessment of their effects encourages the manner to improve efficiency. Author Biography José Mª P Sala Lizarraga got a Ph.D. in Thermal Engineering at the School of Engineering of Bilbao, a degree in Physical Sciences at the Complutense University of Madrid and an M.Phil. in Theoretical Physics at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the University of Sussex (U.K.)His professional life has been devoted mainly to lecturing and research. Since 1983 he is Professor of Thermodynamics and Physical Chemistry at the School of Engineering of Bilbao, University of the Basque Country. He also worked for several years as Technical Director for an engineering company dedicated mainly to the development of power plant projects.His lines of research are energy analysis and the simulation of industrial equipment and processes, as well as energy efficiency in buildings. He has published more than one hundred articles in international journals, has presented communications in more than eighty international congresses, is the author of three patents and has written numerous technical reports and twelve books on thermodynamics and on cogeneration. Ana Picallo Perez, currently an interim university professor (at ETSI Bilbao) and a researcher at the consolidated ENEDI group, got the PhD in Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Engineering and Architecture area in 01/2019 thanks to the Basque Governments predoctoral fellowship.In addition, she previously participated as a Personal Researcher Contracted by the School of Engineering of Bilbao.Her research areas are related to testing, analysis and optimization of building energy supply systems, Thermoeconomics and diagnosis application in buildings. Likewise, according to those areas, she made 6 publications in JCR journals, a book chapter and she contributed in more than 15 international and national congresses since 2015.She did 3 quarterly stays: first one at Technische Universität Berlin (2017), second at LUniversità degli Studi di Palermo (2018) and third at LUniversità degli Studi di Padova (2018) for deepening her PhD. Additionally, she attended 5th academic year of Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Torino (Italy, 2014).
