McGraw Hill, c1998Edition: Third editionDescription: xxxix, 1010 pages : illustrations; 25 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 0070119279 (alk. paper)Subject(s): ThermodynamicsDDC classification: 621.4021 LOC classification: TJ265 | .C43 1998
Contents:
Basic concepts of thermodynamics; properties of pure substances; the first law of thermodynamics - closed systems, control volumes; the second law of thermodynamics; entropy - a measure of disorder; energy - a measure of work potential; gas power cycles; vapour and combined power cycles; refrigeration cycles; thermodynamics property; gas mixtures; gas vapour mixtures and air conditioning; chemical reactions; chemical and phase equilibrium; thermodynamics of high-speed fluid flow; property tables and charts (SI units, English units); about the software.
Summary: This text aims to present the key topics in thermodynamics in an accessible manner, using a physical, intuitive approach rather than a highly mathematical one. It uses numerous SI units, and highlights the use of imperial units with a special icon.
