Explore the theories, applications, and core concepts of thermodynamics
This hands-on guide lays out the critical thermodynamics concepts, rules, and governing equations for engineering students and professionals. Developed by an experienced academic to reduce information overload in his classroom, Essentials of Engineering Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications reinforces each topic through concept questions and representative problems with detailed, worked-out solutions. Figures and illustrations throughout tie each subject to the real world. You will gain a clear understanding of the laws of thermodynamics that drive our understanding of energy systems and their daily applications.
Coverage includes:
Basic thermodynamics concepts
Energy transfer modes
The first law of thermodynamics
Macroscale mass and energy balances
Transient closed systems
Steady open uniform flow devices
The second law of thermodynamics
The T-s diagram and entropy calculations
Exergy or minimizing energy waste
Open and closed power cycles
Reversed closed cycles
