It covers the historical basis of Carnot models, the thermostatic cycles of double-function heat pumps and the optimization of thermomechanical engines, and discusses the results of various investigations, bringing together a number of previous works. The latter half of this book introduces the concept of "Circular Thermoeconomics" and assesses the physical costs of recycling waste in increasingly complex industrial processes. It then goes on to present "Relative Free Energy", allowing us to create a new mathematical theory of thermodynamic costs in order to diagnose malfunctions in thermal systems. The book shows the progression of knowledge on the existence of successive energy, power and efficiency, and pairs this with the economic aspects, which are already becoming linked to growing environmental concerns. 4aThermodynamics 4aGeneral Energy 4aNuclear & High Energy Physics00aenergy physics; energy efficiency; thermodynamics; circular thermoeconomics; thermomechanical engines; thermal systems; successive energy1 aValero‐Capilla, Antonio4aut08iPrinted edition:z978178945126940uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1002%2F9781394264872aWiley Online Library423Cover Imageuhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/188eb1ff-b4af-492c-aa90-88e220717c18/9781394264872.cover.gifaWiley Online Library
