Thermodynamics instructors need a concise textbook written for a one-semester undergraduate course—a text that foregoes clutter and unnecessary details but furnishes the essential facts and methods.Thermodynamics for Engineers, Second Edition continues to fill both those needs. Paying special attention to the learning process, the author has developed a unique, practical guide to classical thermodynamics. His approach is remarkably cohesive. For example, he develops the same example through his presentation of the first law and both forms of the second law—entropy and exergy. He also unifies his treatments of the conservation of energy, the creation of entropy, and the destruction of availability by using a balance equation for each, thus emphasizing the commonality between the laws and allowing easier comprehension and use.Mechanical engineering series (Boca Raton, Fla.)ThermodynamicsElectronic books.Thermodynamics.621.402/1Wong Kaufui Vincent850421FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910460577403321Thermodynamics for engineers1898778UNINA
