Synopsis
Discover how heat transforms into work and why it powers engines. A clear, classic primer for students and engineers alike.
The Thermodynamics of Heat-Engines offers a practical introduction to energy, heat, and the machines that convert one into the other. It covers the core ideas of energetics, the laws that govern energy transformation, and how these ideas apply to steam and gas engines. The book explains essential concepts with illustrative diagrams, historical context, and methods you can use to estimate engine performance.
What you’ll experience
- Foundations of energy and matter, including the first and second laws and the idea of conservation.
- Discussion of engine cycles, from steam to gas engines, and how different designs affect efficiency and work.
- Practical methods for estimating engine output, pressures, and volumes using real-world scenarios.
- Connections between theory and practice, showing how thermodynamics informs design and operation.
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, policy-free introduction to thermodynamics as it applies to heat engines, from students to practicing engineers alike.
