Loosleaf Textbook and Connect Access code included when ordered *NEW*. The subject of thermodynamics deals with energy and has long been an essential part of engineering curricula all over the world. Its broad application area ranges from microscopic organisms to common household appliances, transportation vehicles, power generation systems, and even philosophy. This introductory book contains sufficient material for two sequential courses in thermodynamics, and students are assumed to have an adequate background in calculus and physics. A conscious effort is made to emphasize the basic principles of thermodynamics while also providing students with a perspective of how computational tools are used in engineering practice. The traditional classical, or macroscopic, approach is used throughout the text, with microscopic arguments serving in a supporting role as appropriate. This approach is more in line with students’ intuition and makes learning the subject matter much easier.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This text aims to present the key topics in thermodynamics in an accessible manner, using a physical intuitive approach rather than a highly mathematical one. Over 1000 illustrations are used to illustrate the topics, and the worked examples are also illustrated with sketches and process diagrams. There is a new equation-solving software program available to buyers which enables students to design problems. In addition there is information on new thermodynamic systems (e.g. more efficient gas turbines) to help students keep abreast of the field. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001259800
