Description
This is a treatise on engineering thermodynamics incorporating a sizeable compilation of original sources. A balance is maintained between advanced analysis and presentation of the history of ideas in this very active field. The text presents the axiomatic and Gibbsian mathematical formulation of classical thermodynamics, a modern look at second law (exergy) analysis, and recent research developments, including power generation in finite time, low temperature refrigeration, irreversible thermodynamics, and solar energy conversion. Many worked examples are included.
