Principles of Engineering Thermodynamics

About this book

Written in an informal first-person writing style that makes abstract concepts easier to understand PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS provides strong coverage of fundamental concepts and applications. To help readers develop a better understanding of how to apply thermodynamics in their future careers and a stronger intuitive feel for how the different components of thermodynamics are interrelated the book asks readers to explore how changes in a particular parameter can change a devices or process performance. Readers are encouraged to develop computer-based models of devices processes and cycles and to take advantage of the speed of Internet-based programs and computer apps to find thermodynamic data just as practicing engineers do.
