The book is the first of its kind, presenting detailed analytical formulations for the design and optimisation of various power producing and cooling cycles including but not limited to:
- Vapour power cycles
- Gas power cycles
- Vapour compression cycles
- Vapour absorption cycles
- Rankine cycle coupled refrigeration systems
