Energy Processes in Complex Systems

Resumo

The energy processes that arise in complex systems as a result of the interaction of disparate components are studied theoretically and experimentally. The performance of a complex engineering system is found to depend not only on the quality of its components but also on the ability of the components to receive stored energy and make rational use of it within the system. The basic approaches to ensuring high-quality design of systems containing electrical, mechanical, dynamic, and control components are identified.
