Synopsis

Designed for junior-level engineering students, this text offers detailed coverage of classical thermodynamics and features extensive use of second law analyses, including availability and irreversibility. Special example problems address matters of analysis, form, and units. Also includes problems that can be solved using computers and uses both English and SI units throughout.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Covering material rigorously, this text remains readable, and readily accessible through consistently lucid exposition, a logical organization, and strong pedagogical support. Covers classical thermodynamics including the first law, second law and physical property relationships with outstanding illustrative engineering applications. Balancing coverage of theory with applications, the text presents a thorough, concise and accurate discussion of thermodynamic principles as well as a realistic engineering approach to problem solving that encompasses modeling and other real world aspects of the field. Extremely current throughout, computer skills (modeling and problem solving) are emphasized and developed through exercises and through software included with the text. For careers in Aerospace, Civil, Electrical, Industrial and other Engineering fields.
