Thermoptim simulates both simply and highly accurately many energy systems:
- gas turbines and combined cycles
- aerospace engines
- Diesel and spark-ignition engines
- Stirling engines
- steam power plants
- co-generation units
- refrigeration machines and heat pumps
- air-conditioning plants
- innovative energy converters
- new and renewable energy
As such, its distribution in higher education institutes has developed a lot since 2001.
Its practical implementation, including education, is presented in detail with numerous examples in the book Energy Systems: A New Approach to Engineering Thermodynamics and in the Thermoptim-UNIT portal to which we recommend you refer.
The following mind maps have been designed to help you find the relevant sections of the book and pages of the portal:
