Badescu, Viorel.
Optimal Control in Thermal Engineering [electronic resource] / - 1st ed. 2017. - XV, 588 p. 179 illus. | Binding - Card Paper | - Studies in Systems, Decision and Control, 93 2198-4182 ; . - Studies in Systems, Decision and Control, 93 .
This book is the first major work covering applications in thermal engineering and offering a comprehensive introduction to optimal control theory, which has applications in mechanical engineering, particularly aircraft and missile trajectory optimization. The book is organized in three parts: The first part includes a brief presentation of function optimization and variational calculus, while the second part presents a summary of the optimal control theory. Lastly, the third part describes several applications of optimal control theory in solving various thermal engineering problems. These applications are grouped in four sections: heat transfer and thermal energy storage, solar thermal engineering, heat engines and lubrication.Clearly presented and easy-to-use, it is a valuable resource for thermal engineers and thermal-system designers as well as postgraduate students.
