The laws of thermodynamics have wide ranging practical applications in all branches of engineering.
This invaluable textbook covers all the subject matter in a typical undergraduate course in engineering thermodynamics, and uses carefully chosen worked examples and problems to expose students to diverse applications of thermodynamics.
This new edition has been revised and updated to include two new chapters on thermodynamic property relations, and the statistical interpretation of entropy. Problems with numerical answers are included at the end of each chapter. As a guide, instructors can use the examples and problems in tutorials, quizzes and examinations.
Contents:
- Thermodynamic Systems and Properties
- Properties of a Pure Substance
- Work and Heat Interactions
- The First Law of Thermodynamics
- First Law Analysis of Open Systems
- The Second Law of Thermodynamics
- Entropy
- Second Law Analysis of Open Systems
- Vapor Power Cycles
- Gas Power Cycles
- Refrigeration Cycles
- Gas and Gas-Vapor Mixtures
- Reactive Mixtures
- Thermodynamic Property Relations
- Statistical Interpretation of Entropy
Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical & electronic engineering, bioengineering, applied physics and thermodynamics.
