Principles of Energetics Based on Applications de la thermodynamique du non-équilibre by P. Chartier, M. Gross, and K. S. Spiegler

The purpose of this book is to lay the groundwork for the analysis and the design of processes with a view to energetic efficiency. Energetics is used in the original sense of the engineer W. J. M. Rankine (Proc. Roy. Philosoph. Soc. of Glasgow III, 381 [1955]) and the physical chemist J. N. Br\3nst...
