Although there are a number of satisfactory advanced thermodynamics texts on the market, virtually all of them take a rigorous theoretical and mathematical approach to the subject. Engineers need a more practical approach-one that offers physical explanations along with the mathematical relation and equations-so they can readily apply them to real world problems.
Advanced Thermodynamics Engineering fills that need. The authors take a down-to-earth approach that lays a strong conceptual foundation and provides simple, physical explanations for thermodynamic processes and the practical evaluation of thermodynamic systems. They stress a phenomenological viewpoint throughout the book and include more than 150 engineering examples that provide real-world applications of the material.
This unique text includes an abundance of figures, exercises, and tables, plus a summary of important formulae and a handy summary of each chapter, ideal for quick reference or review. The authors have also developed spreadsheet software-available on the CRC Web site-that covers many of the applications presented and will be useful for several industrial applications.
This book eliminates the need to wade through the abstract generalized concepts and mathematical relations that govern thermodynamics. Engineers who wish to grasp the engineering physics of thermodynamics concepts and apply the knowledge in their field now have the perfect self-study tool and reference: Advanced Thermodynamics Engineering.
