Levenspiel (chemical engineering, Oregon State U.), taking pity on the undergraduate puzzling over thermodynamic symbols and squiggles, provides a foundation text for "thermo" study minimizing its abstractions. Concentrating on the first two laws of Thermo, the text presents introductions to work and heat, potential and kinetic energy, chemical and nuclear reacting systems, mechanical engineering, phase equilibrium, and entropy and information. The text includes problems, witty illustrations, theorems, and tables. No bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Using everyday English, Dr. Levenspiel first takes a qualitative approach to Thermo, and then shows how to treat the subject quantitatively, using classic examples from the literature to show the power, scope, and utility of the subject. Understanding Engineering Thermo concentrates on a broad-based coverage of the first two laws of Thermo. While not intended to be the last word on the subject, this book provides a lively way to master the foundations of this sometimes dry topic.
