This timely reference/text provides a solid grounding in the basic
principles of the science of thermodynamics-proceeding to
practical, hands-on applications in large-scale industrial
settings. Presents myriad applications for power plants,
refrigeration and air conditioning systems, and turbomachinery
Featuring many helpful example problems and analytical exercises,
Thermodynamics reviews fundamental theories of pressure,
temperature, force, and conservation of mass and energy discusses
the behavior of the ideal gas, progressing to more complicated
ideas of the concepts of work, heat, and the First Law of
Thermodynamics] analyzes thermodynamic processes in solid, liquid,
and gaseous systems covers ideal cycles, including Carnot, Otto,
Brayton, vapor-compression, and absorption cycles illuminates the
abstract property of entropy and its relation to the Second Law of
Thermodynamics] demonstrates applications to gas turbines, gas
compressors, and aircraft and rocket propulsion systems explores
high-speed gas flow and fluid mechanics illustrates the power and
utility of thermal systems analysis in engineering design and more
Containing over 500 references, drawings, tables, and equations,
Thermodynamics is an indispensable reference for mechanical,
chemical, aerospace, environmental, and marine engineers;
physicists; mathematicians; and engineering technologists; and an
excellent text or self-study guide for upper-level undergraduate,
graduate, and continuing-education students and practitioners of
thermodynamic engineering. Solutions Manual available to
instructors only; contact the Promotion Dept. for details.
