About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the fascinating realm of thermodynamics, exploring the fundamental principles governing the operation of heat engines and other energy-transforming machines. Written with clarity and a focus on physical understanding rather than complex mathematics, it serves as an invaluable resource for students and engineers seeking to grasp the intricacies of energy conversion. Emerging from the scientific advancements of the 19th century, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of thermodynamic concepts, encompassing the behavior of gases and vapors, thermodynamic cycles, and the design and analysis of steam engines, turbines, and internal combustion engines. It delves into topics such as combustion, boiler operation, refrigeration, and heating and ventilation systems, providing a holistic understanding of the diverse applications of thermodynamics in engineering. The author's approach emphasizes logical reasoning and practical applications, making complex ideas accessible to readers with varying levels of technical expertise. By avoiding unnecessary abstractions and focusing on real-world examples, the book effectively bridges the gap between theoretical principles and their engineering implementations. Ultimately, this book empowers readers with the knowledge and tools to understand, design, and optimize thermodynamic systems, contributing to the advancement of efficient and sustainable energy technologies that shape our modern world.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone.
