Heat Engineering (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book covers the foundational concepts and equations in heat engineering and thermodynamics, unraveling the principles behind the study of heat and energy. It delves into the history of thermodynamics, discussing the notable works of scientists such as Joule, Carnot, and Kelvin. The author begins by examining the fundamental concepts of heat, temperature, and the measurement of energy, before introducing the first law of thermodynamics and its implications for heat engines. An exploration of reversible and irreversible processes leads to an in-depth discussion of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, with insights into its significance in understanding the direction and efficiency of energy transformations. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of availability and entropy in determining the efficiency of heat engines and the study of thermodynamics cycles, such as the Carnot cycle. Step-by-step derivations of important equations, along with illustrative examples and problem sets, make this book an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of heat engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330171059_0
