Thermodynamics

<p><strong>Thermodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications</strong> offers a blend of theory and practical applications for a complete understanding of thermodynamics for various engineering applications. Beginning with a basic introduction and principles of thermodynamics the book advances to more specialized topics like organic Rankine cycle gas mixtures equilibria and chemical reactions.</p><p>Exploring the first law of thermodynamics different types of energies and their practical applications in engineering devices the text covers enthalpy heat transfer and work interactions with a focus on macroscopic and microscopic perspectives. It introduces the second law of thermodynamics and entropy with an in-depth look at Carnot engines and absolute temperature scales. The book includes applied problems that are solved using COOLPROP Tilmedia and MAPLE-ThermophysicalData packages.</p><p>The book is intended for senior undergraduate mechanical aerospace and chemical engineering students taking courses in thermodynamics.</p><p>Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual Figure Slides and MAPLE codes for their courses.</p>
