The textbook outlines the fundamentals of technical thermodynamics and the exergetic method of analyzing thermodynamic processes. On their basis, processes, equipment and directions for reducing energy costs when obtaining energy carriers in the form of steam, hot liquids, coolants, compressed gases are considered; when creating a vacuum; when the heat potential in heat pump installations increases; possible ways to use low-potential secondary energy resources.

Each chapter of the textbook provides calculated examples. At the end of the book there are reference tables and diagrams necessary for solving problems.

The textbook is intended for university students studying in the specialty “Biotechnology” and other chemical-technological specialties. Can serve as a manual for graduate students and engineering workers.
