Energy Systems, a groundbreaking approach to teaching thermodynamics, has transformed the way students and engineers understand this complex subject. Once considered particularly challenging, Energy Systems offers an innovative instruction method that simplifies the complexities of thermodynamics and applies it to energy systems.

Energy Systems takes a holistic approach to the calculation, application, and theory of multiple energy conversion technologies. Its primary objective is to provide readers with a solid foundation for understanding and applying design principles to various energy cycles, including renewable energy. Unlike traditional methods, Energy Systems focuses on energy system modeling rather than the thermodynamic foundations. This approach has been proven to be more straightforward and reflective, making it easier for students to grasp the concepts.

While the style of Energy Systems may differ from other textbooks, it does not compromise on coverage. The book covers a comprehensive range of topics, from basic thermodynamics to advanced energy systems, with an encouraging pace. It addresses the complete spectrum of energy engineering, ensuring that students gain a thorough understanding of the field.

To enhance learning, Energy Systems includes an accompanying Thermoptim™ portal. This portal offers a wealth of resources, including software and manuals in English and French, to solve over 200 examples. It also provides programming and design tools for exercises of all levels of complexity, enabling students to practice and apply their knowledge. The portal is user-friendly and designed to facilitate quick proficiency improvement. Students can download a demo version of the Thermoptim modeling software, available in seven languages, and access extended options for lecturers. Additionally, a professional edition of the software is available, adopted by numerous companies and research institutes worldwide.

This volume serves as a textbook for courses in applied thermodynamics, energy systems, energy conversion, and thermal engineering. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the field, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their studies and careers. Whether you are a student, engineer, or professional, Energy Systems offers a valuable resource for advancing your understanding of thermodynamics and energy systems.
