Product Description This introduction to the principles of low-temperature engineering emphasizes the design and analysis of cryogenic systems. The new edition includes fresh material on superconductivity, liquid natural gas technology, rectification system design, refrigerators, and instrumentation. SI units are now used throughout the book. Unlike the previous edition, which was designed primarily as a college text, the new edition is written to serve as a professional reference as well, and is particularly useful for mechanical and chemical engineers involved in the design of cryogenic systems. Senior-level and graduate students interested in the fundamentals of cryogenic engineering will find this volume indispensable. | ||

This is a really fantastic book! I bothered to track the author down (emeritus at Louisiana Tech University) simply to tell him that "Cryogenic Systems" is the best thermodynamics book I've ever read! I had to quickly come up to speed on cryogenic separation of CO2 from synthesis gas. For a newbie to the field of cryogenics, it was incredibly helpful...logically and clearly (and with excellent examples) working its way up from gas liquifaction to air separation. It spans the ideal to the very real/practical. I've only worked through Chapters 3 and 4 (Gas Liquifaction and Separation/Purification), but the pedagogy is really wonderful. I presume the rest of the book is equally incisive. | ||
Easy to read and easy to understand This book is good for both engineering students and engineers. With an understanding of thermodyanmics the book is easy to read and easy to apply. It covers both thermodynamics cycles and system design. I had the joy of taking a class using this book and it was taught by the author. I would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in cyrogenic systems. | ||
A must for Cryogenic Engineers A treatise that spans many important aspects of Cryogenic Systems including analysis and design of various thermodynamic cycles. It is a great reference that points to many other papers and books with even more in-depth information on specific topics within the Cryogenic Systems arena. | ||
