Do you stare at a problem, unsure which property table to open?
Have you lost marks because a temperature never became an absolute value?
Do you know the method, then freeze when the steps must follow?
Thermodynamics is rarely hard because its equations are hard. It is hard because the reasoning between them — why this boundary, why that assumption, why this table and not the other — is usually left out. This handbook puts that reasoning back on the page. It works from first principles to finished answers in full, so you see the thinking a lecture leaves silent.
Every chapter opens by telling you what you will be able to do, develops the theory from stated assumptions, and then shows the work in full — the intermediate step a textbook usually skips is the one printed here. Worked examples carry their units line by line. Practice problems come with answers you can check yourself, and each chapter closes with the relations it introduced gathered in one place, so revision becomes recall rather than rereading. The coverage runs from the first law through entropy and exergy to gas power cycles, steam plants, refrigeration and moist air, and it suits a first course, a retake, or a refresher taken alongside a job.
- Choose a system boundary with confidence before writing anything down.
- Enter property tables without hesitating over which one applies.
- Carry units through every line as an error check.
- Build the first and second laws from stated assumptions.
- Work steadily through gas power cycles and steam plants.
- Read refrigeration and moist-air problems without losing the thread.
- Apply exergy to locate where useful work is lost.
- Check an answer for sense before you submit it.
Your term is already running. The examination already has a date on it, and every week the subject is left alone the gap widens between what you can follow in a lecture and what you can produce under time. The reasoning is learnable, but only by practising it deliberately, and that practice takes weeks rather than days.
Open the first chapter today and begin building the habits the examination will ask for.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
