Thermal Energy Management in Vehicles

THERMAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN VEHICLES

Comprehensive coverage of thermal energy management systems and components in vehicles

In Thermal Energy Management in Vehicles, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a robust and authoritative account of thermal energy management systems and components in vehicles. Covering three main areas--the thermal management of internal combustion engines, mobile air-conditioning, and thermal management of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles--the book discusses and proposes simulation models for many of the components and systems introduced in the book.

The authors also cover state-of-the-art and emerging technologies, as well as likely future industry trends, and offer an accompanying website with supplementary materials like downloadable models.

Readers will also find:

• Material that bridges the gap between academia and industry
• Proposed simulation models for vehicular components and systems
• Fulsome discussions of industry trends likely to take hold in the near future
• Accompanying online resources, including downloadable simulation models, on a complimentary website

Perfect for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in automotive engineering, Thermal Energy Management in Vehicles will also benefit anyone seeking a comprehensive treatment of vehicular thermal energy management systems and components.
