Engineering Thermodynamics

Intended as an introductory textbook for 'applied' or engineering thermodynamics, or for use as an up-to-date reference for practicing engineers, this book provides extensive in-text, solved examples to cover the basic properties of thermodynamics. Pure substances, the first and second laws gases, psychrometrics, the vapor, gas, and refrigeration cycles, heat transfer, compressible flow, chemical reactions, fuels, and more are presented in detail and enhanced with practical applications. This version presents the material using SI Units and has ample material on SI conversion, steam tables, and a mollier diagram. The accompanying CD include a fully functional student version of Quick Field software (widely used in industry) with simulations, tutorials, etc.
