Thermal Energy Management in Vehicles 1st Edition
Thermal Energy Management in Vehicles (1st Edition) by Gerard Olivier, Vincent Lemort, and Georges de Pelsemaeker is an essential, modern guide for engineers, researchers, and students tackling the thermal challenges of today’s vehicles — from conventional powertrains to hybrid and electric platforms.
Clear, authoritative and practical, this book opens with fundamental heat-transfer principles before moving into vehicle-specific systems: engine cooling, HVAC, battery and power electronics thermal management, waste-heat recovery, and control strategies. It blends analytical methods, simulation approaches, and real-world design considerations so readers can translate theory into efficient, reliable vehicle systems. Coverage also includes emerging trends that matter to OEMs and suppliers across Europe, North America and Asia — such as electrification, stricter emissions standards, and lightweighting.
Why this title matters: improved thermal management boosts fuel economy, extends battery life, enhances passenger comfort, and supports compliance with global regulatory frameworks. Whether you’re optimizing cooling loops, modeling transient behavior, or selecting materials and components, the book provides actionable insights and design-focused examples that shorten development cycles and reduce risk.
Readable yet technically rigorous, the text is ideal for automotive thermal engineers, system integrators, graduate students, and consultants seeking a single-source reference for contemporary vehicle thermal energy challenges.
