Unlock the science behind heat-powered machines and how they turn fuel into work.
This classic textbook introduces the elementary thermodynamic theory of gases and vapors, then expands to how heat is sourced, made usable, and applied in various heat-driven prime movers and their helpers. It emphasizes practical understanding for mechanical engineering students, with clear structure, worked examples, and problems to reinforce learning.
The text is designed as a comprehensive teaching volume, organized for recitation courses and laboratory practice. It covers theory, performance, and the real-world considerations of heat-power systems, from fundamentals to practical design details. The book also includes a robust appendix of problems and a systematic numbering scheme to aid study.What you’ll experience
- Foundations of heat, energy forms, and the laws that govern engines and cycles.
- Explanations of various heat-power plants and practical design issues.
- Systematic problems and exercises to apply theory to real-world engineering.
- Historical context and preparation for advanced mechanical engineering courses.
