Learn MATLAB by Thermodynamics: Applications in Thermodynamic Systems and Thermal Systems

Learn MATLAB by Thermodynamics is a comprehensive textbook-style guide that connects fundamental thermodynamics with MATLAB-based numerical computation and engineering analysis. The book covers thermodynamic systems, properties, processes, heat and work, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, entropy, enthalpy, exergy, irreversibility, and thermal-system analysis. It provides detailed treatment of closed, open, isolated and quasi-static systems, followed by practical MATLAB implementation. Major thermal components—including compressors, turbines, pumps, nozzles, diffusers, throttling valves, heat exchangers, boilers, condensers and evaporators—are studied through governing equations, assumptions, derivations, numerical examples and MATLAB programs. Complete applications include Rankine, Brayton, Otto, Diesel and refrigeration cycles, together with energy and exergy analysis, parameter studies, optimization, graphical visualization and transient modelling. The book is designed to help students move from thermodynamic theory → mathematical formulation → numerical solution → MATLAB code → engineering interpretation. Suitable for B.Tech., M.Tech., Ph.D. scholars, researchers, teachers and competitive-examination preparation, this book emphasizes both conceptual understanding and computational problem-solving.
