Synopsis

Presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of thermodynamics while retaining an engineering perspective and, in so doing, provides a resource with considerable flexibility for the inclusion of material on thermodynamics. Updated for this Third Edition, it reflects an increased emphasis on environmental issues and a recognition of the steadily growing use of computers in the study of thermodynamics and solution of thermodynamic problems. Contains numerous examples, as well as problems at the end of each chapter that are carefully sequenced to reflect the subject matter.

Synopsis

Here is a revision of the classic best-seller for the thermodynamics course that covers both classical and statistical thermodynamics. The text presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of thermodynamics while retaining an engineering perspective. Future engineers will find increasing applications of phenomena and devices based on atomic-scale principles. The book also includes a computer disk which allows considerable flexibility for studying many problems in thermodynamics in terms of the variable quantities involved, and for creating many new design-oriented problems. The previous edition of this book was published in 1982.
