Features:

  • Consistent problem-solving methodology encourages systematic thinking and is reinforced in the solved examples.
  • Thorough development of the second law of thermodynamics featuring the entropy production concept and availability (exergy) analysis (Chs. 5-7).
  • Sound developments of the applications areas (Chs. 8-14).
  • Both SI and English unit presentation to allow increased flexibility.

New to This Edition

  • Over 40% of the more than 1300 problems, are new or revised. Many can now be solved with the improved software and there are more "critical thinking" problems to encourage the development of engineering judgment.
  • Improved INTERACTIVE THERMODYNAMICS: IT Software now includes an equation solver, property data retrieval, printing and graphing capabilities, and a Windows-based format.
  • More design and open-ended problems (140 total--10 per chapter) develop engineering judgment, creativity, and communication skills.
  • An early discussion of engineering design providing an introduction to the design of thermal systems that ties into the design problems in each chapter (Ch. 1).
  • A discussion of thermeoconomics providing an introduction to the use of engineering economics in thermal systems design (Ch. 7).
  • An extended presentation of chemical availability now including a discussion of standard chemical availability (Ch. 13).
  • Property data tables are now included for ammonia and Refrigerant 22.
