Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

A long-time favourite among students and instructors alike because of its engaging, student-oriented conversational writing style, this book continues to be the most widely adoped thermodynamics text in the US and in the world, with translations to numerous other languages. In the 4th edition the first law of thermodynamics is presented in a single chapter, using a highly intuitive and unified approach. Over 200 multiple-choice problems at the end of chapters prepare the students for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, and can also be used for general review and quizzing. About 200 comprehensive computer problems allow students to conduct real-world engineering analysis by performing in-depth parametric problem exploration where they plot the key variables and generate results by using the powerful and intuitive Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software tool (or other suitable programmes). The multimedia supplement package includes an online learning centre, interactive thermodynamics tutorial and the EES limited academic version with solved sample problems and solutions to selected text problems.
