About the Book

This book is a comprehensive, best selling introduction to the basics of engineering thermodynamics. Requiring only college level physics and calculus, this popular book includes numerous illustrations and graphs to help students learn engineering concepts. A tested and proven problem solving methodology encourages readers to think systematically and develop an orderly approach to problem solving. This book provides readers with a state-of-the-art introduction to second law analysis. Design/open ended problems provide readers with brief design experiences that offer them opportunities to apply constraints and consider alternatives.
