Updated and enhanced with numerous worked-out examples and exercises, this Second Edition continues to present a thorough, concise and accurate discussion of fundamentals and principles of thermodynamics. It focuses on practical applications of theory and equips students with sound techniques for solving engineering problems. The treatment of the subject matter emphasizes the phenomena which are associated with the various thermo- dynamic processes. The topics covered are supported by an extensive set of example problems to enhance the student’s understanding of the concepts introduced. The end-of-chapter problems serve to aid the learning process, and extend the material covered in the text by including problems characteristic of engineering design. The book is designed to serve as a text for undergraduate engineering students for a course in thermodynamics. KEY FEATURES Devotes separate chapters to treatment of statistical thermodynamics and kinetic theory of ideal gases Includes a revised chapter on heat transfer theory Provides systematic problem-solving methodology to fortify material throughout End-of-chapter summaries help students identify key concepts Includes a set of thermodynamic property tables for ready reference by students
