ESSENTIALS OF ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS : PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS

Master the theories, practices, and core concepts of thermodynamics Developed by an experienced engineering academic to reduce information overload on his students, Essentials of Engineering Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications lays out the critical concepts, laws, and governing equations of thermal systems. The instructional strategy addresses the challenging requirements for logical thinking and multi-tasking. Specifically, the deductive learning approach, illustrated with detailed answers to concept questions and solutions to representative problems, should help the student to achieve these basic goals. Engineering thermodynamics is an ideal subject to demonstrate the merits of this learning approach. Specifically, Chapter I conveys the course foundation by introducing basic definitions, concepts and laws as well as thermal systems/devices, working fluids, energy forms and their transfer processes.
