Description: Designed for use
in a standard two-semester engineering thermodynamics course sequence. The
first half of the text contains material suitable for a basic Thermodynamics
course taken by engineers from all majors. The second half of the text is
suitable for an Applied Thermodynamics course in mechanical engineering
programs.
The text has
numerous features that are unique among engineering textbooks, including
historical vignettes, critical thinking boxes, and case studies. All are
designed to bring real engineering applications into a subject that can be
somewhat abstract and mathematical.
Over 200 worked
examples and more than 1,300 end of chapter problems provide the use
opportunities to practice solving problems related to concepts in the text.
Provides the
reader with clear presentations of the fundamental principles of basic and
applied engineering thermodynamics.
Helps students
develop engineering problem solving skills through the use of structured
problem-solving techniques.
Introduces the
Second Law of Thermodynamics through a basic entropy concept, providing
students a more intuitive understanding of this key course topic.
Covers Property
Values before the First Law of Thermodynamics to ensure students have a firm
understanding of property data before using them.
Over 200 worked
examples and more than 1,300 end of chapter problems offer students extensive
opportunity to practice solving problems.
Historical
Vignettes, Critical Thinking boxes and Case Studies throughout the book help
relate abstract concepts to actual engineering applications.
For greater
instructor flexibility at exam time, thermodynamic tables are provided in a
separate accompanying booklet.
Available online
testing and assessment component helps students assess their knowledge of the
topics. Email textbooks@elsevier.com for details.
