Presents a unique, stepwise exergy-based approach to thermodynamic
concepts, systems, and applications Thermodynamics A Smart Approach
redefines this crucial branch of engineering as the science of
energy and exergy--rather than the science of energy and
entropy--to provide an innovative, step-by-step approach for
teaching, understanding, and practicing thermodynamics in a clearer
and easier way. Focusing primarily on the concepts and balance
equations, this innovative textbook covers exergy under the second
law of thermodynamics, discusses exergy matters, and relates
thermodynamics to environmental impact and sustainable development
in a clear, simple and understandable manner. It aims to change the
way thermodynamics is taught and practiced and help overcome the
fear of thermodynamics. Author Ibrahim Dincer, a pioneer in the
areas of thermodynamics and sustainable energy technologies, draws
upon his multiple decades of experience teaching and researching
thermodynamics to offer a unique exergy-based approach to the
subject. Enabling readers to easily comprehend and apply
thermodynamic principles, the text organizes thermodynamics into
seven critical steps--property, state, process, cycle, first law of
thermodynamics, second law of thermodynamics and performance
assessment--and provides extended teaching tools for systems and
applications. Precise, student-friendly chapters cover fundamental
concepts, thermodynamic laws, conventional and innovative power and
refrigeration cycles, and more. This textbook: Covers a unique
approach in teaching design, analysis and assessment of
thermodynamic systems Provides lots of examples for every subject
for students and instructors Contains hundreds of illustrations,
figures, and tables to better illustrate contents Includes many
conceptual questions and study problems Features numerous systems
related examples and practical applications Thermodynamics: A Smart
Approach is an ideal textbook for undergraduate students and
graduate students of engineering and applied science, as well
researchers, scientists, and practicing engineers seeking a precise
and concise textbook and/or reference work.
