Summary
Increasing the depth and breadth of students' understanding of thermodynamics, this student-tested book offers a coherent and comprehensive introductory treatment of the principles and practices of thermodynamics and integrates numerous illustrative examples to fortify material throughout.
Features: - Complements classical coverage with statistical thermo material.
- Considers statistical thermodynamics, addressing a variety of current and future engineering applications, and providing the methodology used in the field.
- Clarifies and reinforces the intimate connection between kinetic theory and thermodynamics.
- Acquaints students with the language and fundamental principles of thermodynamics.
- Thoroughly examines thermodynamic properties and their relations, and devotes considerable attention to cycle applications.
- Analyzes nonreacting and reactive gas mixtures, with probing discussions on internal energy, enthalpy, specific heats and entropy, as well as stoichiometry and the chemical reactions, and chemical affinity.
- Explores advanced energy systems and innovative methods of energy utilization.
- Gives all dimensional quantities in SI units.
