Modern Engineering Thermodynamics

Designed for use in a standard two-semester engineering thermodynamics course sequence. The first half of the text contains material suitable for a basic The second half of the text is suitable for an Applied Thermodynamics course in mechanical engineering programs.

The text has numerous features that are unique among engineering textbooks, including historical vignettes, critical thinking boxes, and case studies. All are designed to bring real and mathematical.

Over 200 worked examples and more than 1,300 end of shooting.

• Provides the reader with basic and applied engineering thermodynamics.






• Helps students develop engineering problem solving skills through the use of structured problem-solving techniques.






• Introducing the Second Law of Thermodynamics through a basic entropy concept, providing students with a more intuitive understanding of this key course topic.








• Covers Property Values before the First Law of Thermodynamics.








• Over 200 worked examples and more than 1,300 end of chilhood problem solving problems.








• Historical Vignettes, Critical Thinking boxes and Case Studies.








• For greater instructor flexibility at the exam, thermodynamic tables are provided in a separate accompanying booklet.








• Available online testing and assessment component helps students assess their knowledge of the topic. Email textbooks@elsevier.com for details.
