Thermodynamics for Engineers

This second edition presents a comprehensive treatment of engineering thermodynamics from a classical point of view to prepare engineering students for professional practice. Taking an accessible, straightforward, and cohesive approach, the book exposes readers to the "big picture" of thermodynamics, and its streamlined presentation allows glimpses into important concepts and methods rarely offered by texts at this level. This edition includes a new chapter on thermodynamic property relations and every chapter has updated, expanded problem sets. The author has developed a unique, practical guide to classical thermodynamics that can be used for reference or for a one-semester course.
