1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this book!, October 26, 2006

Mr H. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Advanced Thermodynamics for Engineers (Hardcover)

I cannot agree with the reviewers who give this book a high grade! I would avoid it like the plague. Concepts are poorly explained, real word examples and problems are notable for their absence, and the book is generally poorly written. I would look elsewhere for a book on this subject

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of Classical Thermodynamics., September 11, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Advanced Thermodynamics for Engineers (Hardcover)

There are numerous texts about thermodynamics. Most senior/graduate level texts tend to rely too much on the deriving equations, availability, or the mathematics. This text is a great blend of engineering and thermodynamics. It is perfect for students and instructors alike.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Difficult to teach a class from this book.
I tried to teach a class from this book, but I and my students gave up. Complex ideas are explained too briefly and simple ideas are beaten to death. Read more
