Synopsis

Notes on Thermodynamics, Vol. 1: A practical guide for engineering calculations

Learn the core ideas of thermodynamics and how they apply to real engines and systems. This edition uses familiar English units and shows how to use the fundamental equation pv = RT to solve common problems.

This book introduces perfect gases and practical substances, explains how pressure, volume, and temperature relate, and demonstrates how to determine unknowns from given data. It blends theory with worked examples and problems to practice the methods, making the concepts clearer for engineering work and design.
  • Clear definitions of key terms and the meaning of pv = RT in everyday units
  • Guidance on solving typical problems for air and other gases
  • Worked problems and step-by-step solutions to build problem-solving skills
  • Foundational discussion of heat, work, and the role of the British Thermal Unit
Ideal for readers of introductory engineering, physics, and thermodynamics who want a practical, problem‑driven approach to the subject.
