Modern Engineering Thermodynamics

Preface

Text Objectives

This textbook has two main objectives. The first is to provide students with a clear presentation of the fundamental principles of basic and applied engineering thermodynamics. The second is to help students develop skills as engineering problem solvers by nurturing the development of their confidence with basic engineering principles through the use of numerous solved example problems. Problem-solving skills are not necessarily learned simply by routinely solving more and more problems. The understanding of proven problem-solving strategies and techniques greatly accelerates the development of problem-solving skills. Throughout the text, learning assessment exercises are included that have proven to be effective in helping ...
