From the Publisher
Using calculus for enrichment throughout and updated to include the latest technological advances, this practical and user-friendly text stresses the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and heat power, offering comprehensive coverage on such topics as elementary kinetic theory of gases, internal energy, applications of the First Law of Thermodynamics, the Carnot cycle, thermodynamic properties of steam, entropy changes of the ideal gas, air-water vapor mixtures, nuclear reactor power cycles, diesel engines, refrigeration, heat transfer and more.
From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: This practical and user-friendly guide stresses the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and heat power, offering comprehensive coverage on such topics as elementary kinetic theory of gases, internal energy, applications of the First Law of Thermodynamics, the Carnot cycle, thermodynamic properties of steam, entropy changes of the ideal gas, air-water vapor mixtures, nuclear reactor power cycles, diesel engines, heat pumps, radiation, and more. Key Topics: Integrating calculus throughout, the book now comes with a computer disk for the thermodynamic properties of steam, permitting users to obtain the desired properties of steam readily, accurately and without interpolations; eliminating tedious calculations; and enabling users to solve more complicated problems and cycles requiring the thermodynamic properties of steam. Market: For those in mechanical technology.
