This book can simply be summed up as the thermodynamics 'bible' for mechanical engineering students. It gives the fundamentals of engineering thermodynamics and their application to particular fluids and the ways in which work and heat transfer are affected. Part I is devoted to the principles of thermodynamics, Part II to applications of the principles to particular fluids, and Parts III and IV respectively to ways in which work and heat transfers are effected. This scheme leaves it open to the lecturer to choose any preferred order of presentation, but also provides the student with a book which enables principle to be distinguished from application.

5.0 out of 5 stars
ideal for interested student of thermodynamics,
By AMIT P. SAMANT (Niskayuna, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Engineering Thermodynamics Work and Heat Transfer (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by my Thermodynamics professor when I told him I wish to learn more in the subject. At first the content was hard to grasp but when I kept on reading it all made sense bit by bit. I started understanding all little basics of Thermodynamics that were always hidden in my mind. I first started studying Thermo from a book by Rayner Joel. A good book for beginner but never goes into much details and does not answer those fundamental questions that always seem to keep you away from loving the subject. That sense of the unknown is diminished to a great extent by this book. This book deals more with the physics than mathematics of the thermodynamics. ideal for a graduate or even interested undergraduate student in engineering. It gives more importance to understanding the first principles than overwhelming you with the math and unwanted information like some other books. Go ahead and buy this one if you want to fall in love with Thermodynamics.
