Description:
Apply thermodynamic principles to calculate energy demands in water treatment
Designing energy-efficient water treatment systems requires quantitative methods that most engineering curricula fail to provide. Fundamentals of Energy Analysis of Water Treatment Systems delivers the first dedicated textbook connecting thermodynamic fundamentals to water treatment energy calculations. Charles J. Werth, a recognized authority in environmental engineering with over 170 publications, presents a systematic approach for analyzing energy requirements across treatment technologies.
The book covers the First, Second, and Third Laws of Thermodynamics through the lens of water treatment applications. Engineers learn to calculate internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy for both closed and open systems. Chapters address energy analysis of membrane desalination, thermal distillation, electrodialysis, and electrochemical oxidation processes with worked examples throughout.
